Researchers Used a Decommissioned Satellite to Broadcast Hacker TV

What happens when an old satellite is no longer in use but can still broadcast? Hacker shenanigans, that's what.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was updating the satellite charts this evening and working with the 40.5w atlantic bird. It seems the signal strength of most transponders is down by a good 1 dB. This means a 10 footer won't be able to lock...

All,

Many of you are now upgrading your LNBs, LNBFs to mitigate 5G interference. As you are also finding out, an orthomode LNB setup with a waveguide filter is your best bet to completely eliminate the interference. However, it means you need to...

NASA recently started transmitting the programming on their main public channel in UHD, however, the picture quality isn't any better than the HD version of the channel. I was really hoping to follow the Artemis adventure back to the moon in...

Satellite information -------- Yesterday two C-Band Satellites were successfully launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.

SES-20 will locate at 103W and SES-21 will locate at 131W and will provide C-band television and data...

All,

Can you believe these guys?

They claim a solid dish will mitigate 5G interference with its 5G Interference Rejection Reflectors :kook but a mesh dish will succumb to the same interference? Bizarre stuff to say the...

All,

If you own one of our 12-ft or larger antennas , you can now add powered declination to your polar mount dish. You simply remove the twin bolts from your manual declination plates and bolt the motorized plates in place. It will also work with...

All,

If your actuator is slipping under high wind loads and your controller is constantly losing the position of your antenna, we now have a simple solution:

Actuator Clamp Locks

See below!!

We have a new c band bird at 135 W. It started transmitting last week. One transponder is already live and more should come online soon. I will try an update the satellite charts when they do.

This is the first of many replacement c band...

Anyone watching their bud on an 'OLED' tv?

OLEDs are the newest tvs with self lighting pixels. No back lighting is required like with LCDs, so you get much better contrast, color and picture resolution quality. They appear to be the future of big...

All,

Are any of you experiencing 5G interference on your c-band dish? If so, you can discuss here.

No, the big dish is NOT dead because of 5G. Unlike other forums, that have 5,000 useless posts predicting the demise of the big dish thanks to 5G...

Programmers are scrambling to move away from 43.1w at this time as Intelsat 11 has reached it's EOL. Expect program services to migrate to 40.5w, 47.5w, 55.5w and 58w. If you lost programming on 43.1w, you will need to scan the birds mentioned....

I see programmers are migrating away from digicipher 2 and there doesn't appear to be a digicipher 3. :sad: End of an era?

The folks at Rainier might want to take note that a lot of great programming has moved to the power vu system which they...

Has anyone tried to tune an inclined satellite? For example, lyngsat lists NSS 7, Intelsat 905, NSS 10 as inclined. So if I understand correctly, these satellites are a few degrees away from the geo stationary arc. If I were to position my dish at...

Make your own BUD. :biggrin

Hello,

There is a monster satellite coming on-line circa 2022 at 67ºW. Time to trawl around the worldwide web to find out more about SES-17:

A beautiful day,

In one of the questions recently posed on this forum was that a listener had the wrong frequency and that was why he could not receive the desired satellite. This was determined that he had the wrong frequency.

The two frequencies in question were...

Can anyone in the Toronto area get this mux that Playboy is on? I can get Ovation on 3990V ok.

3945 V
DVB-S2
8PSK
25000-5/6

Has anyone seen it?

New OTA subchannel.

I lost metv and decades tv on 101 west using an 8 foot dish. The rest like movies and icons are fine. Is it me or the uplink? :?:
