Kevin: Are you for real, or are you playing games? Most 13-year olds can talk the heads off us old geezers on technical stuff. Lots of people here to help you, but you need to do some reading on your own too.How big is a 36 inch dish?
"...and is an offset hetrodyned to the IF of the receiver."
What did that term means, and besides, I'm 13 for crying out loud!
Well anywho, about DVBDream, is it a free software or I have to buy it? Also, does it also record any shows you want?
Sorry... I'm just fascinated on the TBS5922 and to see how it works.Kevin: Are you for real, or are you playing games? Most 13-year olds can talk the heads off us old geezers on technical stuff. Lots of people here to help you, but you need to do some reading on your own too.
Right.... Since you say that, I would soon buy it if I have anyone to help me put in the dish and the LNB, even the motor, which is gonna be a really big job.When I was 6 I was building those things. Now days the LNB does all that for you on a single chip. The label on the LNB will hint or give you the LO frequency so you do not need to calculate it. There is a mixer in the LNB that changes the frequency into a standard range so you do not need a huge tuner in the receiver to get all bands. I was 56 when you were born .... and explaining things I have not had to work with since 1958 ---

From Phoenix, in theory if there are no man-made obstacles or hills/mountains in your line-of-sight, you could receive signals from satellites located at 37W through 172E longitude. But, those satellites must also be transmitting a signal with a footprint that covers your area. If you check your atlas, you'll see those satellites are well beyond the boundaries of the U.S. Anyway, all of these geosynchronous satellites are over the equator, so none are actually above the U.S.... if I live in the U.S., do I also get satellites around the world with the TBS5922 or only just the U.S. satellites?
