  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

Dear All,

I am in north South america and am receiveing 72.7 dish netwrork programming with a 2.4 dish antenna I molded out of an original offset antenna. I am getting 20-26 signal strength on most transponders, a few at 13-14 and some will go from 7-12 during the day. When Transponder 19 is at 23 signal strength (it depends on the day and other factors) I get almost all channels. I am using a Aspen LNB and want to know what I can do to get some more strength especially in the weaker channels.

Can the ivacom lnb help to get a couple of points? I think I got the focal point ok but i had to measure it from an atenna that was already setup and am not sure if it is ok. how can I tell if the lnb angle(facing dish) is correct? If it is at the right length?

If I increase the antenna to 3mts how do I calculate the focal point? would it be at the same place as this one but farther back?
 
it was my understanding that this only helped when you hd loss because of cable runs... is this correct or am i mistaken. which would be a good choice?
