Not familiar with that receiver but I noticed that your pictures show two different transponders. The first shows the channels being viewable on 12183 V 30001 but you are selecting 12083 H 30001 for your recording attempt? Did you select 12083 by mistake?

From your other thread you said you were using a "stick",possibly not compatible, maybe needs formatting.I have an older V7 that I use an external hard drive with that has to be formatted.I never tried it with a stick.

I just got this Sat receiver and works perfectly as FTA set now on 125W with all the PBs channels with 90+ signal strength and 60+ of signal quality. However when I try to record and set the DVR or any other option related to Recording just freezes 100% and only way to get it back working is to...

This topic has been discussed in the “MPEG2 Western Arc shutoff” thread. In answer to the original question, the current rumor gleaned from posts on this site and from other sources is that all MPEG2 feeds on the WA will be shutoff by about the end of July. All receivers that are only MPEG2...

Update... I made a few tweaks here and there. - Just because i could, when you turn to the channel that turns on channel surfing, it MUTES the Satellite Receiver, and UN-MUTES the AVreceiver. It then sets the VOLUME of the receiver (remember STB is muted - messing with the av VOLUME wont blow...

Most FTA receivers have a built-in meter that works very well. Just use an active transponder. May have to program it in, but not a big deal. Just take a display out to the dish with the receiver and power source. I also have an SH-200 from a few years ago. It works fine as long as it doesn't...

Welcome to Satellite Guys John! I've never use the Koqit receivers myself so I can't speak about them but the video you found seems to cover that very well. What the video doesn't speak of is the actual aiming of your dish which is a critical component of FTA reception. Since you have the small...

I've been using the power supply that came with the Amiko Mini. It's only 1.5 amps. I didn't consider that the power supply may have been too weak. I'll check the voltage with the meter later today while I perform some more tests. I'm starting to feel some confidence that this isn't a motor...

What power supply are you using with the new receiver? It should be at least 2 amps to also run a motor. How does the motor move when you select a HORIZONTAL transponder? If you have a digital meter, you can check for a solid +18 volts at the coax right at the motor.

Great review. Thank you

An excellent and thorough review. Thanks! :)

As you may remember, Michael (KE4EST) and Casey (from HyperMegaSat) recently ran a giveaway contest, and the prize was an Edision LNBF. The contest came with a catch: the winner had to commit to writing a review of the LNBF. I was the lucky winner, so now is the time to uphold my end of the...

Link budget, frequency modulation (DVB-S, S-2), etc.

Lyngsat shows for this satellite that the power (EIRP) here in Miami, Florida is 48 dBW and that the recommended dish size is 60 to 75 mm. It seems that this info is not true for all the transponders. Why the power is different among transponders in the same satellite?

This is not a reply but a fix. Do a reset on your Orby box and it will come up with the satellite signal power and quality. But the time on the box will be off about 6 hours, but you can go to the orby channels with video and sound ok. Just the time off means the satellite guide is off by 6...

It looks like an interesting device to play with, but the high frequency mode has some limitations. I'm OK for now with NASA TV still receivable along with some other channels. ... One strange thing I've noticed is that if my OS Mio+ 4K detects even the slightest error it wont blind scan a...

It's really about changing to DVB-S QPSK modulation. (But I have read somewhere it does save power.) As per Shaw Direct: "changing the modulation scheme to DVB-S QPSK, 2/3 FEC on Anik F2 would, barring any degradation of Anik F2 beyond that currently anticipated by Telesat, increase the period...

Moving channels off of Anik F2 does nothing to change its useful lifespan. Power (electrical energy) isn't the issue as that comes from the Sun and there has been no mention of problems with the solar array or the storage batteries. There is a limit on the amount of broadcast signal power...

Yes, you have it mostly correct. Moving the channels allowed for the Satellite to save power. The modulation change supposedly allow the bird to drift more before a need of correction, as the signal strength from each transponder using DVB-S QPSK is approximately 10% higher than with the old...

Yes, same happened to my two ORBY TV satellite receivers in October 2022. I can still receive the OTA local channels, yet the program guide does not get updated, and the current date and time from the receiver are incorrect. Also, the satellite channels cannot be tuned- displays error message...

My old Orby receivers were working fine receiving the free feeds. Could see the signal power and quality from 116.8 west fine. About a month ago overnight all the receivers on two Orby dishes went down, and now show no satalite carrier level. Nothing has been moved. According to Lyngsat nothing...

With a SWM LNB there is no 13v, or 18v or 22KHz, the SWM stacks 8 different transponders on fixed L-band frequencies and each frequency could be 99 or 101 or 103 or whatever. If my memory is intact, when you power one up from scratch it goes into alignment mode with 101, 99, 103 and the old 119...

Power up, hit System (Top Left corner) set it for Dish Network. Enter - Dish Network. Enter again, and scroll down to WA DPH 1000.2 LNBF. Enter - WA 1000.2. Enter - Done. Enter.

Antennae certified for TX use with a compliant radiation pattern should theoretically become more popular as mini-BUD RX platforms due to the tighter tolerances. This should include a decent portion of the ChannelMaster, Prodelin, GD Satcom, Skyware Global, etc. product lines. Everyone else's...

Sounds like a good setup to me. And that way, no separate power inserters are needed. (But I must say: I have no experience with orthomodes.) Greetz, A33
