as far as I know, there's capacity in that band on 4 satellites that cover North America: - Hispasat 6 @30W (not 100% certain, and I have never seen any info of it being used) - SES6 @ 40W (it was being used at some point, but not seeing anything listed at this time) - Amazonas @ 61W - according...

that's cool, thanks for sharing! I was just looking at the list of satellites and noticed that some are also receiveable in Western Europe (Türksat @42E for example). Also, maybe due to their geographical location, I notice that 177W is listed as 183E (just like Intelsat usually does), and...

just wondering, how old is the TV you're connecting to? Older TVs often have problems displaying 50 Hz frame rate (vs 60 Hz for regular North American video), and depending on the image you're using in the OSMIO4k or what it was set to last time, it might be defaulting to 50Hz. Hopefully you can...

It's a nice dish, definitely worth playing with, even on C-band, while understanding its limitations. I read earlier that you ordered a C/Ku LNBF. Just be aware that in most cases, those are ok on C-band but can be very mediocre on Ku. So you might want to also get a Ku-only LNBF (it's cheap)...

you might still see some VHF band 1 antennas on older roofs in the Netherlands as channel E4 was used for Nederland1 TV at the Lopik transmitter (between Utrecht and Rotterdam), until the switch to digital about 15 years ago. Now for a cheap/easy way to get an ATSC 1 tuner, your best bets are...

for the diseqc switches, look at Hypermegasat, a great site owned by fellow member Casey (as mentionned by Pepper). Also look up hypermegasat on ebay as he sometimes offers some bundles that don't appear on the website. He also offers an Enigma2 receiver from Edision, but seems to be...

welcome to the hobby! Some great obeservations but I have to disagree about the phone compass. If I used mine to align a dish, I might get TV from Mars and Jupiter but not from the usual satellites. I find them to be incredibly unstable and inacurate. And by consequence, AR apps that show the...

there's the 3dB attenuation, but a strong signal is not enough in itself. Think of circular as diagonal - a mix of H and V. and from the perspective of circular signals, think of linear also as a mix of L and R. So when you have a strong transponder that is circular, by using a linear LNBF...

not just satellite TV, in my opinion, but linear TV broadcasting in general is dying, whether it's on satellite, cable or OTA. Broadcast of course is still very relevant for live events (sports, news, etc.) but people are no longer into having their schedule directed by TV schedules, and...
