Orby Channels Active Again?

No way! I’ll aim my dish to be sure. TVROSAT still claims that the channels are up.

All 14 channels are still there. I am receiving them on my Amiko, don't know if they are still showing up on an Orby receiver or not, but no parameters have changed recently.

How's the signal strength/SNR? Lower than before, if you recall? 117w is partially blocked by a tree for me, but I could still pick up those channels on a clear day. They're gone now, 0%, not even an intermittent lock. I'm aimed at the right bird, I'm getting the TIGO STAR teaser channel.

Edit: It's still there - I got a flash of it frozen of my screen - but definitely seems weaker than before....

Unfortunately, the Amiko doesn't have a great SQ meter, and sometimes gives misleading readings, for example, sometimes (not always) it will give a higher reading when the strength has dropped! That said, it is possible it has dropped a bit, but not anywhere near to the point of disappearing. Yesterday we have freezing rain/ice pellets/snow and the signal never pixelated or disappeared whenever I checked it.

With my Openbox S9 (yes an antique) I scanned in 14 channels. They appear as radio channels rather than video. Sound is OK but no video.

You need a receiver that does H265 to get the video.

Thanks, not sure that I want to buy a new receiver. Due to my location I can only fit a KU dish. Can't do C-band.

I ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE this receiver does H.265, and WILL receive those channels. Not only that, but it's sold by one of the mods here, and he gives great service! Amiko Mini HD265 Wi-Fi FTA Receiver DVB-S2 H.265 HEVC With NTP and Wi-Fi | eBay

Watching on my OS mio 4k and seeing some occasional streaking on the bottom of the screen on Real America's Voice. Once in a while I watch Red Green on Heartland and OAN for a bit and I don't get it on those. Is anyone else seeing this?

Yes, must be on their's downlink side before resending up to their uplink TX site and don't know where are they located.

So the downlink's signal must be pretty weak or their dish alignment is not right.

Whoever the company named "UT" that is responsible for signal's quality have yet to be resolved, have been like for many months now.

So I am guessing it's uplinking from somewhere in the Caribbean regions.

So that's best answer that I can give you that, unless someone comes along with better answer than mine.

Yeah happens for me on Hunt every once in a while.

They uplink from south Florida. ORBY’s old web site is slowly coming back to life:
