yababy8 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Old faithful is there 24/7 (in black and white) Freq. 12055 Pol. V SR. 13350 73% signal quality the kind of level you require for a conus satellite feed ; ) I have a black and white feed at 12052 v 13350. Is that the same thing basically or do the numbers have to be the same exactly? I also have a northern Illinois vs temple game at 11950 H 13230 And western Michigan vs ball state at 11968 H 13230.

PSB Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I have a black and white feed at 12052 v 13350. Is that the same thing basically or do the numbers have to be the same exactly? I also have a northern Illinois vs temple game at 11950 H 13230 And western Michigan vs ball state at 11968 H 13230. Yes thats it (91w) , all LNB's are off freq. just a tad. So that freq. is the right one. (but worth reminding folks that if you blind scanned in your signal you may get a better signal by manually entering the exact coordinates) Just time to make a cardboard feed horn? OK maybe not. What knid of signal quality do you have, I am at 74% now : ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was my magic cardboard feed-horn : ) hey keep it handy : ) I have 74% as well. But this is my first connection to the feed this year. Is this signal better than what people were getting for other football games? ie is part of the equation that the Sioux games are coming from Alaska, or did the FSSN uplink just improve overall giving us the chance to actually get the hockey game in a couple of hours?

This is by far the strongest signal for any broadcast so far this year. If the power stays like this, the hockey will be no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 OK with just over 2 hours to go before game time I made a cardboard feed-horn I DID see better signals on weak feeds, enough to make the difference between getting a picture and not getting a picture. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, this will not work if you get no signal at all, but will help only if your picture is breaking up. And of course your results may vary. More info on the SatellitePlus.US forum! http://visionplus.us/smf/index.php?topic=7257.0 Very nice, although I hope now that the signal is up you don't have to test it on a bad signal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here but I was not going to sit back while Sioux fans struggled with their systems. Plus I enjoyed the build and its another video up my sleeve : ) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 is the hockey game going to be on the same feed as the football game? Won't know until they switch but I'd suspect it is since that is the tp that has been used for everything so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yababy8 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks for the signal report. PSB I have a question for you; Last night during the hockey game feed after I got tuned to the channel and was getting good signal (71%), I went to the USALS screen and selected the transponder for the game so I could try the "bump" east and west to see if I could get a little better signal. When I selected the transponder for the game (12065 4870) it showed 10% signal but when I exited out of the USALS menu screen and back to the channel I had a great picture and pressing info showed again 71% signal? I did this a few times- very weird. Any thoughts. Also does anyone know if the BSU series will be up-linked?? or maybe the FSSN will pick them up as a gift to all of us fans?

Yes I have seen that once before, sounds like the software may have been corrupted? Not sure of the cause. An upgrade to the latest software will fix that : ) Alternatly just use DiSEqC 1.2 to nudge over a wee bit, then simply asign a number and store the position, then the dish will return to that exact position when you select the 91w satellite. This is actually more precise than USALS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
