I have read every message I can find here and everywhere else on the web, including the NPS instructions. But this is still not working. Everything has worked perfectly in my system for a long time, except that I need to add W5 now that X4 is gone. 1) W5 has always shown up in my sat map...

So our system has been working flawlessly for six months 4DTV, C&KU, 12' mesh dish, strong signals on X4, GB, G1, G5, etc. Many sats with 100 / 99 scores. Today the power went out for a little while (not uncommon in rural areas), no obvious weather cause, probably a car hit a pole somewhere...

I have had the strangest experience with KU recently, I wanted to put it out to you folks to see if anyone had a guess what could have caused it. 1) About a year ago I upgraded to 4DTV, and C/KU. After some fine tuning, I got very good signal reception and was quite happy with it. 2)...

Does NASA still run a channel on C or KU? I seem to have lost it since I switched to 4DTV.

How much should I worry about 20-year-old sat ribbon cable that is buried in PVC conduit? I was thinking about trying to push an electrician's fishtape into the conduit a ways with some shoestring attached to see if there is water in the conduit. Did I mention that it rains in Oregon...

dfergie's sticky FAQ here has a post from PSB that talks about there being an American "radio community" on AMC-8, but looking at the lyngsat chart for AMC8, I don't see much there, and I couldn't find it with my DSR-922. But then lyngsat only shows DVB encoding on AMC-8. Are there a bunch of...

Is it possible to rename the sats in a DSR 922? Or do we just have to use the old names for the new sats? IE: AMC3 = W3 etc. It would be handy if Lyngsat had a list of the old names (the names in the DSR922) in parentheses or something to make it easier to figure out where you are.

Seeing all the DVB channels is kind of making me think about adding a DVB receiver. I gather that it is possible to "slave" a DVB receiver to the DSR922, but not sure how to proceed: 1) What do you recomend for a DVB receiver in this configuration? What are the tradeoffs, cost, features...

Unless I am mistaken, I believe that G9 moved, or was replaced or something. I have two charts from NPS, one from several years ago and another newer one in which the position of G9 moved from 123degrees to 127degrees. Is this just a renaming? Or did they replace dead sats and swap their...

I see that G0 shows a "CSPAN3" on TP20, but I gather that is a DVB stream that I cannot get with my DSR922. Is there a CSPAN3 on a 4DTV channel someplace else that I can get with my setup (C or Ku).

When I am trying to set up a new satellite (see my other posting about searching for X0), sometimes my DSR922 receiver remote won't increment the channel with the "+ Ch -" button. Normally, on other satellites this button works fine, but sometimes I will be trying to set up a new satellite...

I understand some of the nomenclature on the LyngSat charts for each satellite, but there are some things that I don't understand. 1) What are the red capital letters in the fourth and fifth columns? (variously: A, N, U, F) 2) There seem to be multiple programs for a single...

Getting my dish aligned better. It turns out that my Longitude is: 122d 57m 24s - West, and 45d 20m 47s - North So G0 / X0 is just about due south for me at 123degrees. The trouble is, I can't find anything much on X0 to confirm that I've got the right satellite. I don't have a DVB...

What are some good satellites and channels for fine tuning my big dish. I am just south of Portland, Oregon with a good view of the sky down pretty low. I just added KU and discovered that my dish was pretty far out of alignment. I fixed the feedhorn centering, and tightened up the guys, but...

I just replaced my C-band feedhorn with a new Corotor II+, and Norsat LNBs for C/KU: 1) When I first hooked up the polarizer servo's wires, it started buzzing and wouldn't quit. I disconnected it and reconnected the old one and it didn't buzz, so was going to replace the new one with the old...

I like to give credit when it is due. I have no relationship with Lee other than the transaction described here. I am one of those odd customers, an engineer-type, who asks a lot of questions and my wife (the realtor) says can be quite annoying. Most vendors can't be bothered with...

New to the forum, just upgraded to 4DTV, about to add KU, as soon as my Corotor II+ comes. Thought I would put out a tip that I learned from the guy I bought this place from. It came with a big 12' fine-mesh Paraclipse dish. We're on top of a hill where we get tremendous winds and that dish...
