    5G interference questions

    It seems that the lack of effectivity comes with the use of a very fine mesh. I found these comments made by Titanium some time ago: An RF fence (or wall) is any structure that will attenuate the problematic signals. Signals in this high frequency range are usually line of sight and can be...

    Dbs system creation

    Thanks it wouldn't bother me not getting premuim channels but I would also like to know how to add multiple fta receivers to a single switch connected to two Satellite dishes. I also want the fta receiver to measure 15x10x2 inches.

    lost signal on Shaw

    Not that I have any experience with the Canadian satellites equipment, but when I was at my old place and aiming the Dish on the roof, I noted that my weight and roof construction conspired to re-aim my dish when I moved away from the area of the roof where the dish was installed. I couldn’t...

    Dbs system creation

    You need a receiver, like this one. It's about the most capable, cheapest one to properly do the job: Amiko Mini 4K UHD S2X FTA Receiver DVB-S2X H.265 HEVC With NTP 4K Ultra HD | eBay You need a satellite dish AND an lnbf, and the dish MUST be larger than "Dish Network/DirecTV" types. 3ft/ 39...

    lost signal on Shaw

    When I said "pivot point" I was referring to the part where there is a bolt on the arm/mast. It is plumb. Here is something I did not mention previously. When I first discovered that I did not have a picture and before I looked at the dish I had a signal strength of around 34 and a red bar...

    Dish Sat Setup

    They can put it on a 4 or 5' pole in the ground. When you move, you can dig it up, or leave it and take the dish. Nothing to it, at most 1 bag of cement. The coax will only be just below the yard, easy to pull up, or just leave it.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Hello Timothy, The TBS 6903 card is still available for sale at the mfrs. website, Amazon, and eBay. I thought they were going to discontinue it but fortunately I was wrong. The newer TBS 6903X card is also for sale but I never was able to get it to perform with an acceptable error rate. I...

    Random results when blind scanning 127W

    After moving my C138 back to the Unimesh and several blind scans a few days ago, I am now able to get NASA 101 again. Every blind scan seems to bring in a random number of transponders on 127W. (I can't understand why as there is no wind and its a clear day). So I'll just leave the C138 on my...

    Random results when blind scanning 127W

    Both of my dishes are concreted in the ground. Last night I moved my Titanium C138 LNBF to my Birdview dish on the other (south) side of the house and reception is worse. The Unimesh is on the north side. With the Birdview I can get NASA 101 and other channels but they are pixelated. With the...

    Newbie needs guidance!

    You sound just like me many years ago. I had so much fun (even through the frustration) of setting up my first Ku Band dish, when i finally got it, i realized i needed a C band dish, which i finally got in 2011. And i learned early on, never put a dish on the roof unless you HAVE to. So much...

    Thank you for telling me to re-mount using the "a" Hole...LOL No pun intended.

    Newbie needs guidance!

    Remember, for a motorized install, the "A" scale of the dish bracket will be used. Disassemble the bracket and reassemble using the other holes stamped "A" then mount on the motor tube. Take great care centering the dish on the motor tube. On a u-bolt type bracket, it is very easy to misalign...

    Newbie needs guidance!

    Ok here are some from the ground. I will get closeups in a little while. I found that my 39" dish has a listed offset angle of 24.62*

    Newbie needs guidance!

    My 2 cents worth. I’m not familiar with your LNBF but trust the receiver settings are correct and you have an active transponder saved and are tuned to it. First thing I would do is work on it on the ground especially if you already fell off the ladder. I’ve picked up a 2 1/4 inch fence post...

    Unexplained Equipment and diagram

Each f81 connector is connected to single receiver to single switch connected two Satellite dishes and these f81 connectors are going towards near a single drilled hole when theres 3 drilled holes next to each...

    dish support really blows

    hi, i have TING and they claim there are no issues with power in house, they monitor everything in the electric system. go to whisker labs and read about ting. i even contacted them after second hard drive died. they done a watch for a week if you ask them. i have noticed since you said static...

    dish support really blows

    If you can't figure out a way to check your dish alignment, I can't help you with that, but I'm curious about you saying you went through 4 receivers. Are they all just getting poor signal, or are they dying in some other way? If they're dying, I'd be a little worried that maybe your house...

    Keep Losing Signal

    DISH Playmaker, Wally receiver w/perfect view of the southern sky; no obstructions. Everything coming up as it should. Good strong signal; captured the satellites no problem. Next day, lose signal strength. Go through the whole process, no problem. Then loses signal again within a few minutes...

    5G Network interference:

    At $0.33 per square foot, a wire mesh 5G fence would be quite expensive: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Phifer-48-in-x-25-ft-Brite-Aluminum-Screen-3000914/100392916 How many square feet would you need to protect a motorized 10' dish? My guess is about 500. And you would need to ground it. Chicken...

    VIP211z with Dish 1000

    Could be a 1000.2 dish, I will attach a pic. I believe the pole is plumb but I will have to check it again. I live in Cypress but this dish is installed in Somerville, 77879 zip. No meter but I can set up the system where I can point the dish while looking at the signal meter. There are some...

    Basic technical question

    Um, he's not talking about XM over Dish. He was specific about the radio in his car.
