I like Satbeams a lot for its ease of navigation. However I would add that I would take the "recommended dish size" as just that, a recommendation. It is usually overly optimistic for C-Band, as well as for marginal Ku-Band signals, and I think it's only based on EIRP, and does not take into...

Determine if 43w is visible to your install location by using an inclinometer. Alternatively, a 12-18" piece of 1" conduit pipe and a digital angle finder with magnetic base works fine. Place the magnetic base of the digital level (angle finder) on the conduit and elevate to scan the sky...

Why do the signal qualities vary so widely? Some are 82, some 10 or 0. Is it the location of the uplink? Or different transponder power? Signal strength stays about 92.

Each satellite will need to have an active transponder in order to detect and lock and display signal strength and signal quality readings. I would recommend that you go to Sathint.com or Lyngsat.com and choose a DVBS or S2 transponder that is a high symbol rate and a low FEC ratio. Example: I...

@ the red highlighted: Sorry for the beginner question. What do I have to do to accomplish that?

Thanks for the confirmation. Were you able to test the non load vertical voltage at the LNBF? For future reference, I would highly recommend using a powered multi-switch or other power insertion device(s) as the flow in the above diagram will present an operating load that exceeds the output...

Single output LNBFs will only output one polarity at a time. What does that mean and why is this important? Anytime one of the connected STB's selects a channel on a horizontal polarity, all STBs will only be able to receive horizontal polarity transponders on that satellite. This is because the...

When I was running two receivers off a single movable dish, I had a similar problem. Both receivers were the same (HDVR3500's). I switched one of the receivers out with a different brand, and the problem went away. Both receivers were on the same breaker, but in different rooms. Now that I'm...

If the LNBF works correctly if only one coax is connected at a time, I would rule out a LNBF defect and test for interaction between the two coax cables/STBs/AC power. Are you using a multi-switch? Is the "0" skew marking stamp aligned with the dish polar axis (12 o'clock) or with 3/9 o'clock...

I wouldn't put any stock in that August 2018 launch date. I'll bet that was just a placeholder since they didn't have a real launch date listed. Given how far in advance launches have to be scheduled, they would have had to reserve a slot sometime last year. I posted about Directv-16 last summer...

You may only need to optimize the feedhorn position and or the dish amiming. From Cedar City, Iowa, 101w is west of your true south and the LNBF skew needs to be rotated -10 degrees. Standing in front of the dish, the LNBF would be rotated so the "0" scale mark will be counter clockwise...

I was told they canceled all satellite orders, don't know if that included any that were in the works and backing out of an existing contract can get expensive. They are still using some of the Ka sat transponders (Spaceway) that were intended for internet use and I have not heard of any future...

All of a sudden (this morning) my Genie won't tune any HD channels due to signal loss, my H24 will tune the HD channels I watch. I ran a signal strength test at both receivers, both tests turn up different results. I don't get any signal from any of the transponders from either (ca) or (cb) or...

Hariss5, Welcome to SatelliteGuys! An 8-foot dish offers almost twice as much surface as the 6-footer, so is better at receiving faint signals. Also, the larger the dish, the more focused the reception pattern is, meaning that it is less likely to get interference from adjacent satellites...

I have had much experience trying to get / use ANIK G1 that I thought I would share. If you are changing to an xKu setup, you have a choice on what to do. Once you have your receivers with the correct code setup from Shaw... I. Simply swap your LNBF with a new xKu LNBF If you are using the...

Are you certain that while comparing speeds, both receivers were tuned to the same polarity? The observation that one receiver outputting 18Vdc at 450mA is moving the motor faster than another receiver outputting 18Vdc at 450mA seems unlikely.... [emoji12] One would observe movement speed...

Weather is as weird as this problem. We had a heatwave overnight. Went from 5 below to 20 degrees this morning. My neighbor stopped in a few minutes ago on his way to town. He went outside to check a couple things at the dish. When he came back in he grabbed my toolbox and went back outside...

Since you are using fixed dishes and not a single motorized, I would suspect interference rather than multiple random LNB failures. I also base this on your multiple reports of problems locking many channels on different satellites with different dishes over the past year. PLL LNBs are crystal...

Motorized or a fixed C-band dish? LNBF brand and model? When installing the LNBF, is the "0" skew mark aligned with the vertical or the horizontal axis of the dish? Lets focus on one STB to focus on the scan results. Connect the Linkbox LNB IN port coax directly to the C-band LNBF without any...

Keep in mind this was the mid-late 90's and the receivers only had so much memory and processing power. As someone else pointed out, Dish only sent out 48 hours of guide data and the receiver could only store a couple hours at a time and would download it as you browsed...painful! It's amazing...

I chose a house based on the area not having an HOA, so I'm not an expert but I imagine an HOA is really only concerned with what can be seen from the street/neighbors. If your fences are 6 feet high and you stick to satellites in the center of your arc, you can probably fix up a 7.5ft dish...

Fine here. 11842 can be susceptible to adjacent satellite interference if your dish is not optimum or appropriately sized. AFAIK it is also a lower powered transponder.

STBs have voltage step-up to provide Vertical 13Vdc and Horizontal 18Vdc. If you haven't verified the voltages at the microHD LNB port or at the LNBF, you should do so. If the power supply or regulator is failing, the motor move commands may only work if the STB is on a horizontal transponder...

The 105W bird is a new satellite now, it's called SES-11 and AFAIK everything has transitioned over from from AMC-18/15. So in that particular case that may be the difference in signal strength. The 3813 mux is coming in fine and I was watching it this morning. Every uplinker has a link...

Hi Folks, again. IF you're having trouble understanding my setup, let me explain. First of, I hears someone just moments ago on the other satellite forum that OUTDOOR channels Mux is NO LONGER on Galaxy 18 C-band satellite. ????? Probably it's the DC VOLT I believed very much. Here how I...
