Ok well I have a question how big a dish would I need for C-Band signals and which is better KU or C band

I'm skeptical about getting 4 degrees reliably on a 75cm dish. At the very least I would expect to have to use the special LNBs that they used to sell to get 101W and 97W on a 90cm dish. I easily got 6 degrees on a no-name 76cm dish when I was getting started. I had them pointed at 91W, 97W...

12152 H 20000 --- 12152 is the frequency, H is the polarity, 20000 is the symbol rate. If you want to aim for another satellite refer to the pics in post 78 of this thread for specifics of where to enter these in your meter. Make sure you use only the 5 digit frequency numbers for ku band (you...

Yes 125W is touchy!

as far as content, are you considering only stuff in English? Or Spanish too? There Spanish-language channels on Hispasat @30W (Spain, Cuba, Argentina) for the receiver, I strongly recommend the Amiko. I've had one for a year and a half and it's very stable and easy to use. It does do AC3. The...

The LNB type needs to be set to "Universal", then the 22KHz will no longer be greyed out and instead be set to "Auto". The Satellite is selected to C-band 97w and not the KU 97w satellite. This is why it is displaying 3.xxx - 4.xxx C-band frequencies instead of the correct 11.7xx - 12.2xx...

So are you saying even tho the dish pointer may say one angle that the angle could be higher or lower than that of their reading

How do you know if the dish is poor quality

How would you use a carpenter level to determine if the dish angle is correct? This is an offset dish so the face of the dish is not aimed at the actual elevation look angle. On a typical offset dash, the face of the dish is aimed between 22 and 26° lower than the actual look angle up to the...

Are you starting with a 101 SD transponder for the initial coarse peak? Its been awhile since I've used an IRD for peaking and its going to react slower than using a dedicated sat meter, especially finding the satellite. Once you get on 101 you can peak very slowly to get the coarse peak then to...

I too doubt your receiver is faulty, most likely you're not aimed precisely enough at the satellite. A phone app absolutely won't get you lined up good enough to scan anything in unless you're incredibly lucky. When KE4EST said being an inch off in alignment can throw you off, he wasn't...

on 117W, there are medium power transponders on 12060V, 12080H and 12100V 30000, but from San Diego, if you have a universal LNBF, there should be much stronger transponders in lower Ku on 11560H, 11480H and 11520 H , all 34826 according to Lyngsat Eutelsat 117 West A/B at 117.0°W - LyngSat

131w has a few shopping channels, but most everything is encrypted. Without considering the 133w satellite interference and use of overlapping frequencies, the DVBS2 cable distribution channels would be received on an 6-8' dish. Ignore the reflector recommendations on Satbeams. They are not...

Sorry to tell you, but Lyngsat is NOT 100% accurate...if you really want to know where everything is on any DirecTV birds, go to this site & download the 180808_Spot_Beam_tpngrid.xlsx SS: (you'll notice the whole SS was just updated yesterday) Satellite Transponder Information click on the...

I think you nailed it, thanks!. I did set my lnb for 10750, but after your comment, I went back and checked it, and darned if it wasn't somehow changed to 10600! Beats me, must have happened when I exited that part of the menu, but who knows. Ok, I suspected 91W myself, but the frequencies...

that stuff looks like what you would find on one of the Canadian satellites (91W) for Bell TV... The content matches what Lyngsat lists for 12224 R 20000 on 91W, so you're off by 150 MHz. Did you set your LNB local oscillator frequency in the receiver to 10600 instead of 10750? the basketball...

That transponder is also on 91w very powerful data you probably got that.

If the signals are dropping at the dish with the meter connected directly to and powering the LNB then it's either something blocking the LOS, the dish is bent or somehow damaged or maybe the LNB is going bad.

Finished up the assembly a few days ago, just in time to display as eye candy for Amateur Radio Field Day this next weekend (June 22nd-24th, 2018). Made a portable receiver (hitch) mount with an eye catching red powder coat, cased a motor power supply, modified the feed for a feedhorn (currently...

I have a currently working installation where I've been using 2 of my 3 receivers. This is a SWM system with a single wire coming from the dish to a 4-way splitter. The power port goes first to a power inserter then to our 1st receiver. The 2nd port to the 2nd and now the 3rd to the 3rd...

Thanks for the fantastic explanation...I knew something was up with DTV. The signal going Bye-Bye during some of the lightest rains and forget about it during an average to heavy rain...Frustrating living in the midwest and needing local TV weather reports during severe storms (Heavy...

Yes. DirecTV uses that Ka-band for its high-definition services, while dish uses the more powerful DBS Ku band for all but it's International services. the Ka-band that DirecTV uses was originally allocated for internet by Satellite services, but nearly at the last moment, DirecTV had Boeing...

I think the trick with LPB is to have it be on full power AND have the cojones to climb up that far on the roof. At the same time. [emoji1] I've had LPB in the past, but it hasn't been reliable in years, even on the motorized 90cm. Sent from my SGH-T999 using the SatelliteGuys app!

Hi Folks, I'll try my best explaining what I saw... I have a GI 650i analog C/Ku band receiver. And I bought it on ebay back in 2004. And is still using it and RUNNING since. What I discovered when I was using it o salve with the GEO SAT RO HDVR-3500 Digital FTA receiver, for a LONG...
