413883invalid@example.com (k4otl)k4otlI finally got my Ku-band setup running a week ago, I had acquired a used Hughesnet dish (36") for free, bought lnb with holder and a GT media V9 prime receiver, and 8 months ago or so gave up as I could not lock SES 1 (101 W) or G19 (97W). I finally got back to it a week ago, thinking I'd never line things up but latched onto some sats, then fine tuned to SES 1 and then moved over slightly to G19. This website and all the forums provide VERY good info for those starting out and I'd like to...

414033invalid@example.com (clucas)clucasI know it's an old thread but I found my old Quali-TV QS 1080IR and before I toss it, I wanted to make sure I don't have a use for it. It seems it will only receive DVB-S so that limits it to foreign (mostly Spanish) SD channels and shopping channels which are SD and HD, correct? I don't think there are any FTA 4:2:2 left, are there?]]>1SES3 103WThu, 02 Jan 2025 18:18:08 +0000

413893invalid@example.com (mr_rye89)mr_rye89I've had this for a while, played with it a bit over the summer, but i am finally getting around to really dialing it in on 99w. It fit on a 3" post that I used for the button hook dish, the feed was set up for a transmitter and a normal Ku LNB, transmitter is long gone but the larger NJRC LNB is still on it along with that smaller (and maybe flaky) LNB that came off the Quadstar/co rotor setup. The feed looks like it separates vertical and horizontal signals across 2 LNBs, but in practice...

413853invalid@example.com (tiredold)tiredoldWhile resetting my KU dish, I found QuetzSat 1 at 77. I scanned and got these signals. My qusetion is how. I have a linear LNB yet these are listed as circular. Is it that their signal is so strong that they are picked up. Would I be able to get other circular signals? Anyone experience this? Thanks in advance.

399862invalid@example.com (N6BY)N6BYLast week, for the first time in several months, I decided to see what was available to watch on C Band. It didn't take long to find something to watch, but there were frequent audio dropouts, picture freezes, and pixelization. I checked other transponders on other satellites. About 1/2 of them had problems! So I switched dishes, receivers, and LNBFs - same problem.
Since the problem was not unique to any particular part of my receiving system, I hooked up my dish to my TBS6983 and did a...

Spectrum Monitor magazine, November 2024 issue, has a complete listing of what's on Ku satellites from 133W to 15W. It is an article written by Mike Kohl. The chart in the article is up-to-date and accurate. You can download the whole magazine for just $3. You might discover you want to subscribe to receive the magazine monthly.

413594invalid@example.com (Ron_MNdish)Ron_MNdishI think that the FTA hobby is going "to die off" within the next few years due to streaming, encryption and fiber optic unless if you are into foreign, shopping or Religous viewing on the big ugly dish. Could this be true or false? I now beleive this is true, it would be sad to see the hobby like this go. So enjoy the hobby while it lasts!]]>21Sat2IP app missingWed, 11 Dec 2024 14:02:24 +0000

But the links to the app are dead and it's nowhere to be found, even on archive.org.
I've tried contacting the developer iBoston with no luck. Do any of you happen to still have the source code somewhere? Appreciate your help.]]>9Flash Sale Popup
