Thanks in advance for all your help. This black hole near Fries, VA has nothing: no cell signal, no internet availability, no OTA TV…. nothing. Looking on YouTube for a miracle I ran across FTA satellite- this must be it for me; my prayers have been answered. I watched all I could find on...

I just checked and my last post to the site was almost ten years ago. In 2010 I setup a motorized dish and GeoSatPro 200 receiver for the first time. I used it heavily for a couple years, but once my kids came along time, and extra money quickly disappeared. Once the kids were a bit older around...

I think the problem here is making the general statement "That was 12 years ago, when everything was modulated as DVB-S. Now, (almost) everything is DVB-S2 or higher. This requires a larger dish." That by itself has nothing to do with bit rates increasing by 2 or 3X and even with the...

I'm not referring to Directv and Dish, which use high powered transponders. I'm referring to common FTA signals. Most now use 8PSK. I have extensive experience (attempting) to receive common S2 signals on small dishes, and I can tell you for a fact you can't tune a common FTA S2 8PSK signal on a...

I don't think its worth bothering with. The 18" dish was designed for 9 degree DBS Ku satellite spacing with very high power satellites. FTA is 2 degree spacing and lower power satellites. If you can find an LNBF that magically lands on the focal point you might get some transponders here and...

Now I'm starting to have serious concerns about my receiver. I've rebooted by pulling the power and I still see no indications anywhere that it has functioning wifi. Also, after scanning a few satellites, the blind scan seems to be having issues. It works OK on some satellites, but won't find...

There was a circiut published years ago that allowed control of the polorotator with a simple low volatage dc power supply ( wall wart)...you could even have it control the polarization using the H/V volage chages of each Transponder...do a search for it ....if you dont have it, I will dig up my...

1a. For c band nothing smaller than 8 foot but 10 foot or bigger is better. For ku band although a smaller dish will get you some channels I would not go less than a 90cm (36"). 2b. Generally the answer is yes. A motor will allow your receiver to point your dish at any satellite you can 'see'...

I cannot get a tech here for 7-10 days (due to my rep having covid issues). I am in a bar with 18 tv's. I have a slimline 5 dish coming into a Power amp then to a Polarity locker then split out to 2 SWM-16 units then to 8 port splitters then out to each tv that has its own Direct TV box. I am...

On your Amiko remote press menu, then select Installation, then Satellite Installation. Under 97W set the following: LNB Type: Standard First Frequncy: 10750 TP Index: 12152 H 20000 Diseqc 1.0: Disable Diseqc 1.1: Disable Positioner: Off 22 KHz: Off 0/12V: Off Polarity: Auto LNB Power: On This...

There's NO such thing as "don't allow returns" on Ebay. Dealers can quote that in their listings all they want, and Ebay will overrule and refund in cases such as this. All a buyer has to do, is tell Ebay that the service is defunct, and that the equipment was sold under false pretenses. The...

Still lots of receivers for sale on eBay. Talk about a mess with sellers that don’t allow returns when a buyer realizes that Orby is DOA and now own a worthless box. I have never had Orby but do give them credit for starting a DBS company to make satellite tv affordable for some. They did a...

Life of satellites is the amount of propellant on board for station keeping. Most birds electronics will keep functioning long after it runs out of gas. That’s why the spacecraft folks are experimenting separate birds to latch on to the ones that are out of fuel to get more years use out if...

The service is using Hevc and is only leasing two transponders so that should of kept the operating cost down but with Globecast handling the uplink and all how much do they charge for their services. Probably a lot. Dish or direct would be able to do the uplink them selves. It's about time they...

Thanks guys. I'll have to check on that AFN color bars one to see if it works. I record some programming on the Caribbean mux and need a transponder on 99w that will set the time on my receivers when I boot them up without having to move the dish to 97w to do that. And in case you were...

Ok here we go. Equipment is hr 24 500, slimline dish, sls 3 lnb and sl5 lnb. Both lnb are swm. I can only get 80% on 101 transponder 1. Have tried both lnb,s, reset receiver, ran new cable and tried two different odu power supplies. I get my best reception with the sl5 lnb but cannot peak above...

I believe Orby leases transponders on an FSS sat. Also, the reliability of the reception of all the packets--even with redundency--is dependent upon compression related to power. I believe Orby is using HEC? So, Orby is not likely pushing capacity to the limit on the 2 transponders they...

As a former DiSH (and not dtv) dealer, my recollection as far as history is of a twisted road. We were of course very used to combining off-air locals with c-band, and that continued into DiSH, but now we're putting more systems into homes that had cable and maybe no offair, and DiSH had...

Just to let you all know I have been noticing past month overall cxr level from Louisiana Teleport was very low peaking around 40-45 C/N level. (1 meter channel master HDVR 3500 GeoSat) as of yesterday Mon 12-15 it is now back up to full power (85-87%) The test carrier @ 11804H S/R 1.250 which...

After further testing: The glitches do not occur on the other receiver unless the 1st receiver changes polarity. For instance: I can change to any H transponder without a glitch. But as soon as I change to a V transponder, it will temporary loose signal on the other receiver. Once signal...

Been working on an issue with a couple of channels that reside on 72.7, Transponder 18. We have three Smartboxes at a site, with DishPro LNBs, that consistently see CER (codeword error rates) only on this transponder. I have changed out the power inserter, LNB, connectors and cable. The dishes...

I am searching for any active transponders in the eastern sky. It is not very crowded with satellite signals in those directions. There are no high power pay TV signals in these directions. I can do endless blind scans as I move the dish slightly but that is subject to error. Would one of these...

Too bad on the H10. I still have one that was given to me by upper DirecTV upper management with a wide open super consumer card on an internal account that got just about everything. It was a company gift for a job well done many years ago. Its power supply died a few years back and I intended...

Is the GTMedia Android setting for the satellite, transponder and LNB setting identical to the screenshot that referred to in the previous post? This is critical! What is the GTMedia Strength reading? What is the GTMedia Quality reading? Yes, the Orby receiver often will not display Quality...
