The filters help with the 5G interference. The problem will be when C band is limited to 10 transponders in 2024. Every satellite will have to use the same frequencies and adjacent satellite interference will make smaller dishes obsolete on C band.
Oh wow, I better take the time to research this before investing since if I can't get a used dish somewhere its going to be an expensive hobby fast at todays prices of new dishes. Thank you all for that info it will save me in the long run. Just a question??? What's going to happen with the hobby of FTA when this happens? Is it just going to fade away like so many things that have been an opportunity for the small guy to get technical enjoyment? I mean just like 4 months ago I had to get out of crypto mining for extra income due to the crash and now I'm stuck with 40k in testing equipment and miners and supplies. Man its getting almost impossible to make a few spare bucks in retirement or even save a few for that matter. Maybe I'm just bitching but its getting harder and harder with big brother making all the cash and having all the fun! LOL!
Well after having my first cup of coffee and typing that last message, I went out and fired up the satellite setup and directed the dish back from sat 125 to 97w and guess what. It almost pulls the channels in. It registers over 30 on startup but quality is not there so no picture but I'm real close. That's a good thing since in a few hours its going to rain and I rather not spend another afternoon getting drenched. So i guess that's a great start for the day. Hope you guy's day starts as a good one also.
Ok, I think I spoke too soon! LOL! I think I'm on another sat? Does anyone know what sat has k-love radio? Thanks for any info.
What sat do you (the receiver) THINK you are on? K-love is on 119W, so if you were aiming at 125w.... your dish is pointing too far EAST
What frequency is K-love coming in on? 11705? That is 101w then. Just spin the MOTOR a few degrees EAST. Leave everything else alone. IF you are sure the dish is centered on the motor shaft that is.
Sounds like your motor isn't moving when you change between sats? How's your hair holding out? LOL!
