Reelz on a 10' bud here in NY in the rain has a great signal. 11.7db on my meter. NASA at 15.8db.

Seems the power level on that transponder has dropped a bit. I got Reelz here on an 8.5' dish at 9.7db but I am getting some breakups.

Well, since I don't have access to a microwave spectrum analyzer I'm somewhat limited. I think my XR-3 has a spectrum analyzer though. I've never used that function before though. Not a big deal because the cost of these LNBFs are "petty cash" for me. I don't know if a regular LNB will get the...

The issue with the T90 model in North America is that the gain is equivalent to a 76cm dish. Many years ago, I experimented with a T90 and wasn't satisfied with the performance. It was fine for stronger transponders, but not adequate for weaker transponders. No doubt that the T90 is fine in...

How about a Good Samaritan from across the state :) I'm in Southwest FL and here is what I get with my setup: AMIKO_Mini_4K_S2X_1.0.56, Channelmaster/PrimeStar 1 meter H2H dish, DMS International ASC321-2 Universal KU LNBF, 0.5dB noise, 55dB gain 12.145 V 84%Q excellent 12.120 H 80%Q good...

hi, i'm the author of the post you are refering to. Right now getting 14.8 dB on 12145V, 11.9 on 12120H and 11.5 dB on 12080H, using the Inverto Home Twin LNBF. Those are what I get with perfectly clear sky. Numbers are usually slighly better in the winter (lower overall thermal noise? lower...

Hi I would need the help of a good Samaritan!!! I'm struggling to lock the transponder 19 at SES3 (12080 H 29970 3/4). The Transponder 22 is a piece of cake (12145 V 20000 3/4). With this last one I get a SNR of 93% 14.2 dB, AGC of 100%. But for transponder 19, after a fine manual tuning of...

Your description is typical for the 5G N77 interference. Minor satellite signal corruption errors are corrected by the FEC, until a point where the error correction is no longer aequate. This results in loss of signal until the FEC gathers enough signal redundancy to once again decode the...

I believe the 5G interference has finally caught up with me. Since 5G started, I have only had issues with 3.7GHz feeds. Oddly, I could even lock a 3.425GHZ channel on 115w without any interference. But just yesterday I found out I cannot watch anything on 113w-135w without severe interference...

I just double checked and tuner B is disabled. I think the power had been boosted prior to my moving the 1.2m. I'm chalking it up to operator error. I at first thought maybe I was "seeing" to much of my fence but seems not. Yesterday I noticed that I had a bit of movement at the bottom of the...

FYI, signal strength on the PBS mux at 12140 on 99W used to be very weak, but went up by about 4dB a few weeks ago, and is now quite easy to receive, so that might explain the different result. As for the horizontal problem, well I have to mention that I encountered a possibly similar problem...

No, I'm pulling the power plug each time I'm working on cables or switches. But thanks for the reminder. I think I might need to inspect my cable run. Sometimes horz. transponders(18v) won't come in on this box.(with the ASC ). If I turn on another sat receiver in the house to horz. it will then...

Nothing in the menu for assigning com ports. But wait! Progress !! Progress?? Maybe not.. After trying different methods I was able to get a USB port recognized as com3. I did this by choosing "uninstall device" to all the USB drives in the device manager.. Then no USB's would show up, even if...

I'll have to check that another day when we don't have thunderstorms in the area. It may take a few days to do that because of forecast thunderstorms. Besides, this is an intermittent issue. Right now I am getting a picture on 103 W 4040H (Grit TV) with C/N of 13.8 dB. But later I might not get...

Does the 4180H transponder come in if the LNBF is rotated 90 degrees and powered with fixed 13Vdc?

I tweaked my dish the other day and got half a dB higher SNR on the other transponders on 99W, but still can't pick up PBS there at all. I really hope they increase the power.

Maybe once Dish finishes moving channels around, you will get some of them back. They appear to be getting ready to start using Echostar 23 in the 110 slot, and the map appears that you may be within the footprint. It has been said that they will have these moves done by July, so if you stick...

I must really be out of the loop. I was under the impression Orby was dead and buried long ago. Last time I heard anything, Orby had bailed out leaving everyone high and dry. I wasn't aware anyone was interested in reviving it. I was suspicious when they started selling off equipment for a...

Hello,this info is for the DishNetwork satellite people. As I told you I live very close from Guadalajara. First we had the problem of Echostar changing the conus beams to spot beams,then this shuffling around 129,119 and 110. We have lost more than 50 channels so far because most of the HD...

There are several issues at work here. In general, when they install DirecTV service the installer looks at the signal levels, and with consultation with their supervisor decide on the spot what is feasible. The beam contours in our library for most satellites are from engineering evaluations...

Brian, You stated "As long as you have a window through the trees to view the target satellite(s), the vegetation and buildings will usually work to your advantage, attenuating undesired off axis signals." I understand this as it applies to amateur radio as well. However, Primestar31 stated...

Thanks this clears things up They're for C-band. I have Ku sizes listed as well in my post: Trying to get into C-Band, may have found a dish? A 170cm dish would be ~5.5ft to roughly 6 ft dish. I myself was kinda surprised to see lots of the size recommendations from my area. But as mentioned...

Newer satellites usually have higher output power. This higher power can be good or bad... The Good: A smaller dish will receive a stronger signal. The Bad: Stronger satellite signals will also provide a greater chance for stronger interfering signals from adjacent satellites to decrease the...

I tried several times to crate an account and they never send me to validation email with link. I am sumo good that to re-flash my software I would need to download a file on a memory stick then insert it in the GTMedia 7S5x and some use one option (which one) to update. Is there any member...
