I'd say 2 things. Slap up some good photos. Good ones showing the side if the dish with the lnb mounted. And. Is your dish the one in your equipment listing at the bottom of your profile? I would suspect the dish, being now on a polar mount, is mounted parallel with the polar angle of the mount...

My long. is 77W and 84W is the closest receivable sat on c band. With a tube actuator I don't really see how USALS would be useful. Call me wrong. Get the dish at zenith. I find a flat plane across the dish and digital gauge it until it's level and plumb. That's zenith. Elevation, declination...

Location of the dec. adjustment doesn't really matter. As long as there is one and you're able to get the polar angle (latiude angle) and face of the dish parrallel and pivots vertically level. For an example here is my locally fabricated polar mount. The twin elevation adjustment rods allows...

A side view of the mount as it would be put on the pole might show the current shape of it a little better. But to give you some brain food. If you intend on motorizing the mount with an actuator. A few things for thought. Declination for a fixed mount aimed at one sat. isn't a thing. Just that...

Down a few days now for me.

On the technical side, with a regular C-band LNB with LO=5150 MHz, the 4.5-4.8 band translate to 350-650 MHz, which is of course too low for regular satellite receivers. So I have hooked up an SDR dongle to be able to look at the spectrum. While most LNBs filter that band out, I have an old...

Antennaguy does a lot of hands-on reviews.

Oh. If there is an IP conflict. Somehow the explanation mentioning a reboot of the hopper string of WAP devices hints to. If the WAP and your wifi LAN are both on a 192.168.1.XXX network. And you can't change the WAP IP. My LAN router has the LAN IP set to 192.168.5.1 and the DHCP server IP Pool...

Was just trying to be helpful. Wondering if the problem could be caused by the long reply in the link. I am not qualified to offer suggestions on equipment I don't own nor have personal access with to do some tinkering. Would any other options in the post help? Such as to get the WAP device...

My bad.

2.4ghz connection will give higher signal strength vs 5ghz. Speed will be slower but still adequate for streaming. I believe. On your main router take a peek in the management web interface and check if you have a tx power setting. And hopefully both router and ap has external antennas. There...

I upgraded to the latest Fire TV cube. For the 8 bucks I found out that my first one got me when returned. Shoulda' kept it. The shield is an awesome streamer. Unless I guess it might be the 1g model with HDD. So, you tell me. I'm not into Apple's or Roku's "pocket" with the cube. Not locked...

My 2 cents. Good thing I'm not in Canada or it would cost ya' almost 3. A bit of confusion. I read 8 foot. And then 1.8 meters. An 8 footer would give a far better wow factor than a1.8 (close to 6 foot) dish. Way way back in the satguys archives there is a manual for a 1.8m Prodelin. "Ceramic"...

And look at the LP and resurrection in turntable interests. Let alone vintage audio and restorations. It's reported that many artists release first in vinyl before any other media. But they will always be records to me. And I loveeee my records! There's even a bit of open reel action...

It's a Nubie thread. And very surprising that seasoned dudes in this hobby still have the training wheels on. All it takes is a Crescent wrench. Anyways. Chinabox firmware based satellite receivers aside and concentrating on Enigma 2 Linux receivers. SInce day one. I could not imagine not using...
