Conceptual time. Not hijacking. A similar but not exact thing happened. 131W had a few tp needing signal peaking as opposed to the others. In my satellites.xml I duped 131W but gave it an identifiable character * and different position. Like this. <sat name="131.0W C-band AMC 11" flags="1"...

A 1.2m dish size usually provides adequate gain for decoding, but not tight enough beam width to reject adjacent satellite signals. Increased transponder power will likely degrade signal quality when using a 1.2m dish as the interfering off axis signal will become stronger. In any case, the...

Looking at your chart, I think placing the power inserter somewhere in between the channel stack splitter and the LNB may allow you to do the 150ft cable, but given your previous responses this might not be possible. If your 150ft cable is quad-shielded RG6 already, then you could give RG11 with...

Yesterday I tested with just the power inserter and 150ft of exterior cable and was successful. Today I got the channel stack splitter installed and tried with the 150ft exterior cable. Did a check switch and eventually had a failure to aquire signal. On diagnostic screen each sat had a very...

Yep, missing a minus sign. Dammit!! I was still on Coffee cup #1. As for Direct, I never installed A DTV Dish but a friend of mine works for them and that's just how he explained it to me

This post makes no sense to me. dBm is a specific level that needs a number to go with it as in XX dBm, which is a value referenced to 1 milliwatt or 0dBm. A connector or cable doesn't have dBm loss, it simply has dB loss. Which by the way is about .8dB loss per 10ft of RG-6 at 1450MHz but...

I never had any problem with booting with a drive attached, although I didn't have tons of stuff on the drive. But it doesn't boot without a drive attached either. Your mention of missing horizontal transponders is interesting! I went through a long period where TNAP wouldn't find ANY...

There are 2 issues with the software on new installs. One is where the check switch will only show 1 Sat and you have to do a hard reset, sometimes more than one, to get it to pass the check switch. The other is the 0 of 0 Tuner Glitch. This one, The tuner/Transponder/Satellite will show 0 for...

I was very surprised to run across a new use for data transponders, "Blockstream Satellite": Blockstream Satellite: Bitcoin blockchain broadcasts In short, one of the key companies in the Bitcoin ecosystem is using geosynchronous Ku data transponders worldwide (and one C-Band) to transmit...

Just trying to help here. If you manage to get a strong signal on an unknown sat and scan it. Signal rates of 20000 and 21500 are most probably going to be dish network or direc tv. Because their lnbf's use a local oscillator frequency of 11250 versus your 10750. Your scans will come up with...

you can select whatever satellite you want in the menus in your receiver, but you'll receive only whatever satellite the dish is aiming at. In other words, the satellite list in the receiver is only there to keep things organized once the dish is properly aimed at the various satellites. Now...

not sure about their respective capabilities and how they would compare to other birds, but a few things to keep in mind: - There's not much to lock on 87W and 89W in C-Band. There are some data transponders, but as far as TV/Radio, there are 2 active TPs on 87W (Bahamas TV and one radio TP) and...

The capabilities of the satellite are typically found in the FCC filings or on the satellite operator's website information page. Your measurement is signal over noise. The target signal may be constant but experience varying "noise" levels generated from spillover from the adjacent satellites...

This morning on 97W C, I have two Mexican transponders that are 11.0 dB on my mini-BUD. This may be a record strength for this dish whether it's due to temperature or sheer power used by the tp. So even though this tp is DVB-S2 8PSK FEC 5/6, it is locked solidly all day long. What is the range...

This site gives you exact timing for solar outages: Sun Outage / Sun Interference Prediction for Geostationary Orbit Satellites - Jens T. Sætre - https://www.satellite-calculations.com A rough location in central Texas and 125W reveals the sun will cause outages during the first week of October...

Within an hour, the clock failed again with the receiver on standby. But...arlo's mention of deep standby made me think. I've never used deep standby. So I tried it. Deep standby shuts down the receiver completely, no clock on the receiver display, only a lit red LED to show power is connected...

I keep my Mio in Standby when not in use. NEVER shut it off, and when set to NTP time, it does NOT keep time anymore. The front screen is in my full view while sitting on my living room chair, and I can SEE the clock suddenly wander off to some random time, whenever it pleases. I finally gave up...

Is this a New set up for you or one you've used before this way ? Looks like the Winegard is not picking up the 99 and 103, those numbers should be in the 80-90's, they are the Sats that the HD signals come from. Its amazing that they are still asking that much for these units.

I recently upgraded my equipment to the wireless Genie Mini's to use in my motorhome. The RV has bundles of old analog cabling and I wanted to bypass that stuff and get HD on my TV's when traveling. My equipment is as follows: Winegard LG-2112 with SWM3, HR-44, two C61-700 and a DTV video...

Yesterday I had a similar problem. No horizontal transponders on any satellite on the c band dish. It was fine on my ku dish. So I checked to see if I had the same problem on the tv with a Amiko. As soon as the Amiko powered up on the same channel as on the Mio that channel then came in on the...

Yes, of course, the Primestar scam was the work of the crooks at Big Cable. When you called to cancel the cable, or even to complain about their horrid service, they paid the CSRs to try to sell you on the Primestar scam. It wasn’t DBS, of course. DBS was started to be a BETTER alternate to...

Show me on the doll where the bad cable man touched you? Having both cable and satellite, cable in my area has a much greater uptime. With DirecTV, a moderate storm will knock out the signal, and yes all CONUS transponders are 90+ on a clear day, spotbeams are at 100. But I know some of you...

We have a similar issue with our 722K. Ours is related to the MT2 OTA module installed. When it was last tuned OTA to a weaker antenna channel, it often gives the 00-00-00 error when watching a Dish channel. Hitting the guide button fixes it for a moment or two. Tuning to a strong OTA station...

Some 722's have been known to stop processing signal correctly. I have replaced many for that.

been getting this error message on my 722k and picture goes out. my 222k reciever is working fine with no issues using same lnb i change lnb and wiring and dish splitter still only checked sig strength using transponder 11 signal is 56 percent and did power reset still same driving...
