From experience. I would definitely not sand a fiberglass dish except to get it clean and with enough "tooth" for a good spray sealer to interface with the top coat. To get the RF reflectivity they are metal powder sprayed. I know because a local manufacturer used the process on fiberglass...

How in the heck DO you post a photo like the one in your reply?

If nobody else can help. I dropped a stock image in a graphics program and made the top of the dish rim and bottom by the lnb support 150cm. Then drew dimension lines. Probably not 100% accurate but better than what you have there buddy. It appears as if the lnb throat will point directly at the...

Photos. Need photos.

A plethora of activity on this one. So let's approach it in a different way. Seeing as how I have a similar BCM chip as VU+ receivers. And the receiver is working. Just a dead HDMI section. Mind you all of the HDMI signals come from the chip pins. And able to use the serial interface to 'break'...

In general I was looking in the archives here from a search of Broadcom bootloaders, CFE, etc. I browsed over a post from Mr. Feret. Could anyone enlighten me if they know if sat. receiver SOC's come with a CFE or bootloader already flashed? Or if JTAG or other methods of getting a basic method...

A few questions you should probably ask yourself before committing to the polarization pipe setup. It's a one-way-only method. In other words. Firstly you're taking a circular polarized signal and using the extension, depolarizing the signal to feed into a linear lnbf. If your intention is to...

In post #41 although a bit confusing to look at. What he states is for a perfect world with a dish of perfect parabolic shape. You can perform all of the calculations in the world. Even the slightest variation in dish shape will cause your feed assembly to need different in/out placement. If you...

I am compelled to reply. There seems to be a bit of fuzziness on the scalar subject. And please accept my personal experience from quite a few "bringing back to life" of old prime focus dishes. You should shy away from lnbf and flange combinations if the feed throat depth cannot be adjusted...

Very interesting. Maybe you could tell a satellite or two you receive well and the transponders you receive on it.

Sorry fellows. There is a few things you may not quite grasp. Ku and ka satellite transponders are either meant for commercial or home reception. DBS transponders meant for subscription home services that use small sub 1m dishes have high output power. FTA transponders have quite a bit less...

Perhaps it could get a bit confusing. Please please refer to the link I provided above. These guys start out with an adequate sized dish and "go backwards" to experiment as to what they can receive using smaller and smaller dishes. Under no situation should a person using under a 2.4m dish to...

If I may. I've provided a link below of a conversation for using small dishes for c band reception. My personal findings for signal strength for usable channel display of ku band vs c band would be as follows. Just for information. My 4m dish has a prime focus linear lnbf for c band. And I have...

I should like to add. Distributing rebagded Chinese satellite dishes and kits here is pretty unheard of. Shipping and import duties plus the fact a business is in fact there to make a profit is understandable. But, as many new installations would be for government usage. Foreign products would...

Hi. I enjoyed my vacation. Reviews of the chinesium dishes here in the US are iffy at best. Assemebly instructions. Missing hardware. Holes not exactly matching up. They are satellite dishes for satellite dish sakes. And when carefully assembled, seem to work quite well. I sort of have to kindly...

Did not know that in ver.5. Vix has been my daily driver. Thanks for the info.

USA: TNAP: Os Mio series tuner drivers optimized for USA satellites. No native softcam support. OpenViX: Performs much the same as TNAP. Has services listed in transponders to help choices of scanning encrypted transponders (TNAP also). Built in softcam capability. OpenATV: Works great. Scans...

Sir. You shall lose all of the support you seek with an attitude such as yours. Short timers I believe it was describes as of yourself. Not one thing that was conveyed to you is what you describe. And believing you did not read and absorb what clearly and concisely answers your queries in...

Wilbur. You seem to be not exactly "flooding" the various forums with obscure and diverse questions. I would recommend that you first use those sites search capability. Read and absorb the questions and answers. I have mentioned "the cart before the horse". A guy on the site you pissed off the...
