The Analog (Supra)
I ahve a Supra myself. Nice unit
yep
Have a 30" dish going to a Pansat 1500 and the Supra (and a Toshiba TRX-1420)
reasoning is there are still things up there that are on analog (usually sports backhauls)
The analog receiver compliments the digital one

I split this off to a separate thread
In response to your question, my setup is as such
-one line off the LNBF (dual KU) runs directly to the Supra...I only get the vertical polarity on this feed. If I hooked it directly to the other feed, all I would get is horizontal.
-the other line off the LNBF goes to the Pansat..On the "loop out", that goes to the Toshiba TRX-1420 (another C/Ku band). Whatever polarity the Pansat is on, the Toshiba follows.
I know I use to "split" the line coming in and had it go to the DVB receiver and the analog and it did work, but there was some issues with it...I can't remember what it was

I do remember when there would be games on adjacent channels (18 & 19 as an example), only one would come in and it would change (sometimes it would be 19, sometimes 18)

First is your dish capable of receiving ku band also? If it is very old mesh dish, it might not be able to. If a pencil can fit through the holes in the mesh, it won't work for ku. If the dish is fine, next you'll probably need a new feedhorn that you can mount a c and ku band lnb to.
I have my analog receiver controlling the dish and polarity.

a DVB receiver wont control a C-Band dish. I know there is a product out there that does move a C-band dish
Since I am using KU only, my Pansat 1500 runs the motor..the analog is slaved to it
The hot UPS lady delivered my TRX-2220 a while ago, it's nice.
Now if I could find something to watch i'd be set.

damn...since you can't scoot over to AMC9, that won't work. I would say make sure the receiver works.
AMC9 19 V has a test card
What's stopping you from going east of T5? A tree?
get a chainsaw...they work real good
I don't know what is analog over there. The ones that usually have analog stuff are
AMC6
SBS6
AMC9
G11
T6
Everything east of what you can get

hehe, typical.
Actually, I can get one transponder on T6 and all of G3C - I guess that doesn't help much.

I found something that is going to be analog tonight...mgiht help
Sep 2 7:00p Buffalo @ Eastern Michigan IA 7, K01 SLOT A-9 MHZ
It sounds like it will be in analog....IA7 at 129W..can you get over that far?

I wish I could, G10R is as far as the neighbours shed lets me go.
It's a shame, it's a nice receiver and the RF remote looks bulletproof.

damn man
G3 has some stuff on it...not m,uch analog..but it lights up lonce in a while
I have to laugh...I might be moving (job txfr) so Ive been looking at houses and I get out my trusty .50 compass to see how good of a view I have
