RCN on SES 6 (40.5°W)

invalid@example.com (Satfaca) — Sun, 04 May 2025 20:36:43 +0000

About the RCN package on SES6 (4.028 RH)... we have 5 channels here of which two have following ChIDs:
SID2 - NuestraTele (RCN Cable)
SID5 - NuestraTele Colombia (RCNTV)

Both seem to be RCN Internacional channels, at least that's what their insterted announcements suggest. SID5 has this additional text line in the logo which I unfortunately cannot resolve due to very low resolution.
I've observed the commercials on both channels and my conslusion would be that SID2 is intended for the US...

Upper C-Band 4.5 to 4.8 GHz

invalid@example.com (Brct203) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 15:48:38 +0000

I was wondering what LNB/LNBFs were available that cover that range of frequency... I'm pretty sure there's a Norsat LNB, at Norsat price, which makes it a bit hard to justify the expense considering that there's not much on those frequencies.

Is anyone aware of a more affordable option?

Tek2000 has an LNBF that has ambiguous description, that made me think that it would cover that band, but after looking it up from other resellers, it's seems it's just a stacked LNBF that uses a 5750 LO...

Where to Buy Titanium C2-PLL LNBF in 2025?

invalid@example.com (phhd2004) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 21:35:40 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Titanium C2-PLL LNBF for C-band reception in a high-interference urban area. However, it seems out of stock on major retailers like Amazon and Titanium's official website. Does anyone know any seller (EU/US/Asia) that still stocks this model or Are there newer alternativeswith similar specs? (I need PLL stability + strong 5G filtering.) for Receiving 3747 H 7200 near 5G towers (<500m).

Unimesh LNB Black Cover Pins

invalid@example.com (Vintagesports) — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 12:48:07 +0000

I lost one pin that is used to hold the black lnb cover of a Unimesh 12 foot dish in its place. I am guessing the pin works with any Unimesh dish size cover.
These things are impossible to find.
Giving it a shot here to see if anyone has 1 or 2 spares they could sell me.
Thanks in advance
Jose

103 West / C-band reception

invalid@example.com (mikekohl) — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 04:05:26 +0000

I've been recovering from the alignment issues caused by frequent high winds buffeting my 10-foot Winegard Pinnacle Perf.
Got the whole arc working again from 55.5 to 139 West, but seeing strange reception situation where 103 West used to be.
93 97 99 101 and 105 West are all working right now, but when splitting the difference in the motor drive count between
101 and 105 results in no signals at all. 103 was there yesterday, and now I'm getting zero signal and zero quality on all...

Testing the Titanium C140 and C240 5G Filtered BLUE LNBFs

invalid@example.com (N6BY) — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 21:47:31 +0000

I recently received the new C140 and C240 5G filtered BLUE LNBFs from Titanium Satellite https://titaniumsatellite.com/products.php

The C140 has one output and the C240 has two. The pass band for both LNBFs is from 4,000 to 4,200 MHz. Most North American satellites have moved all of their transponders to this 200 MHz frequency range, with the exception of 115W and 117W which are intended for Mexico.

This first signal graph is from an older LNBF that has a pass band of 3,800 to 4,200...

First C-Band Dish Need Motor Suggestions

invalid@example.com (card13) — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 18:49:33 +0000

I just got a used fiberglass 8ft Offset dish. I had a 90CM Geosat KU dish with USALS Motor, which worked well till our most recent windstorm where it damaged the motor. I picked up this new to me dish and would like to motorize it. The LNB Mount is at a friends so that will be re-attached before end of month, I also have a C/KU LNB on order.

I got spoiled with the KU USALS, so I'm learning how to do it the more traditional way now. I am...

Another Spectrum Auction?

invalid@example.com (TNGuy84) — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 01:10:30 +0000

It looks like they're going to explore cutting up more of the C-band spectrum to give away to 5G carriers. The same person at the FCC mentioned 5 years ago that he'd like to cut up more of the UHF band to give out to 5G.

Command Performance H to H

invalid@example.com (stecle) — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 23:40:24 +0000

I was finally able to obtain this mount, that I have been negotiating with the owner for months now. It was on a bar, and the owner thought his dishes were still worth the thousands he paid for them back in the 80's lol.

This is the biggest, heavy-duty, H to H mount that I have ever seen. The housing is solid cast and 2 of us struggled to lift it off the pipe. When I get time I am going to take it apart and get everything moving freely before putting any power to it. Probably hasn't been...
