note that 65W also uses the lower Ku band (LO set to 9750, 22kHz off), so if you are within its footprint it might be worth using the actual "Universal" LNB setting

try restarting everything - receiver and ASC-1. I've had problems with the ASc-1 not recognizing the receiver voltage switch and getting stuck on one polarity. A restart clears that. Another thing to try is connecting the reciver to the LNBF without the ASC-1, without the 22k switch. Going back...

hi, i'm the author of the post you are refering to. Right now getting 14.8 dB on 12145V, 11.9 on 12120H and 11.5 dB on 12080H, using the Inverto Home Twin LNBF. Those are what I get with perfectly clear sky. Numbers are usually slighly better in the winter (lower overall thermal noise? lower...

I mean that the angle I measure by placing my phone on the the arm (what they call the "antenna branch") - compared to horizontal - is quite different from the elevation of the satellite that the dish is receiving. I have measured the following at my location: Muzak dish aimed at 123W - the...

Why? I have no idea... Maybe those instructions are written for a specific model of dish for which that might be true. But I just checked on 4 dishes that I have and I can tell you that that angle is different by 9-12 degrees. (checked on FortecStar 90cm, Channel Master 75cm, Dish500 and an old...

In most places in the US, a dish aimed at 97W would look "up" like in the picture above Can you be more specific about what you call " the antenna branch"? If you mean the arm that holds the LNB, that is not a valid place for measuring the elevation. You'd be better of verifying that the pole...

Picasso... Rembrand... Da Vinci... Titanium... One day it will sell for $3,550... then for $35,500

exactly what I did when I encountered the same glitch! No need to disconnect anything.

I have a dedicated 75cm dish on 103W, am getting 12120 better than 11760 and not getting 11880 at all

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...

Congratulations on finding AMC21! It is indeed a bit of a tricky one. You might find that if you move the dish slightly to the east, you might be able to get KBS World on 123W while still getting the PBS channels on AMC21. I agree that the position of the LNBF seems a bit low. As Cyberham...

there's a real possibility that the servo (the rectangular blue box) on that feed no longer works, or the probe is stuck. Unfortunately it does not look like it's easy to reach. Also the risk is that if it's stuck, it might have broken when trying to turn. You might need to get a ladder and a...

well, we can't compare quality ratings between receivers... the same signal might display 80% on one box and 40% on another. So it's hard to tell if the problem is weak signal or polarization. There are 2 factors at play here. We know from experience that on SES3 Ku, the H channels are usually...

Is it possible to pause live TV on the miniHDre? If I hit Pause, the picture freezes but the audio continues, and it seems that if I hit pause again it jumps to the current picture (not 100% certain of that last part). Am I missing something? I tried this with a small USB thumb drive that is...

yep that's exactly what it did for me too. I was wondering if maybe the translation providers were not liking the repeated requests, but then I guess it would work when switching to another provider, and we both saw that it didn't. the idea is very cool though, I wish VLC would implement this...

Is it working reliably for you? I tested it tonight on CFCF (CTV Montreal) with translation to French and it worked briefly, then I changed channel and after that I could not get it to translate anything, the "translation" was always in English no matter what language I selected I also tried...

another option, certainly not ideal, would be to offset the LNBF. For example, have the dish point at 99W but move the LNBF a bit to the West to make it receive a bit further East, like a secondary LNBF in a multi-feed system. Again, not an ideal option but certainly better than not receiving it...

could be very useful for receiving the low SR radio transponders with an SDR as discussed in a recent thread

just to be clear, the digital receiver will not control the analog receiver/dish mover. You will have to select the satellite on the old analog box, let it move the dish, then select the same satellite on the digital receiver and select the channel there. Not ideal, and a diseqc dish mover would...

my experience with AMC21 is that if I peak the dish using 12180V, I lose Montana PBS and the horizontal TPs. But I gain KBS World from 123W... and if I peak Montana PBS, I lose KBS (as expected), and i still get 12180V but not at its best. If I remember correctly, 127W also has a transponder...

What's the signal from SES3 that you got? Was it CGTN in English? Because it's also on Galaxy 3C @95W... That one easily mixes with Galaxy 19 signals as it's usually a stronger signal and if the dish is slightly off toward the east, you start getting the CGTN transponder among Galaxy 19...

I found a manual, but it does not specify if the BNC is 50 or 75 Ohm. But it does mention some examples of using RJ59 and F-to-BNC adapters so I guess 75 is ok. I used this analyzer in the mid-90's and i think we were using 50 Ohm cables on the L-Band BNC input as most of our stuff including...

you might be able to get "The Word Network" and maybe "Classic Arts Showcase" on 91W on a 90cm dish. You might get intermittent reception of a few other channels on various satellites (LESEA mux on 99W, BBC World Service radio on 55.5W), but nothing reliably. Not worth the money in my opinion...

i can't comment much on the GeoSatPro HDVR3500 receiver in terms of quality as I don't own one, but it's been around for a few years, and does not do h.265 (HEVC) nor does it do 4k. So while I think it might be a decent receiver, it is a bit outdated in terms of capabilities. If money is...

those meters like the GTMedia are definitely useful and helpful for fine-tuning the dish as they give details like signal quality, but i'm not sure how useful they would be at the "rough locating" of the arc. Note that the squeaker thing will also squeak when aiming the dish at obstacles...
