Hi,

I live in New England, so our 'look' angles for Satcom C1(f1) are quite low.

It comes in at 4.2degrees above the horizon.  The other problem with New England
is that it is a veritable pine forest!  4.2 degrees points me through a neighbors'
pine tree.

Now, I have my dish mounted on my house, so I get pretty low.  I get C4 with
no problems, but I only get C1/F1 at night when it is cold!!!!

At night, my VCII+ locks in to the pay channels without a hitch, sig strength
on the VCII+ meter is 5.8-6.5.   Not a perfect picture, but watchable.  Some
of the SC channels come in  with almost no sparklies.  Foxnet is pretty clear
too.

Now, if it is daytime or warmer than about 40 outside, my VCII+ can't even
lock on.  I can see channels there, but very badly.  

The wierd thing is above 40 or daytime, it doesn't really matter how hot it
gets, the signal doesn't degrade much further than at 40.  It can even be
100 degrees during the day outside in the summer, same situation.

I have a Norsat 35deg LNB and a CoRotorII

My Question:

As technology improves, do you think a 20degree LNB from a good manufacturer
and/or a CoRotorII+ would help?  I think 20deg LNBs will be around by the
end of the year.  A CoRotorII+ gives back the 1-2db the CorotorII took because
of the Ku feedhorn  (from what I've been told)....

Any ideas how I can get just a bit more OOOOOMMMPH from my dish, squeeze out
a few more DB to get watchable pictures?

Phil

 Well, it seems like that you have really old decoder... like you say...
FilmNet changed its sound to digital some while ago, and then to D2mac
but it seems like there is a Pal channel with the digital sound still.
So your box is useless unless you are good with your hands...
Have a nice day.

Hello Bob;
 BL> It's be simulcating on C1 transponder 19 for almost a month. (C1 is
 BL> F1 on some receivers!) Guess it's there exclusively now...

Thanks for the reply. I since read some other messages, and have
found it on C1-19, also on T3-18. Both of which are poor
satellites for me due to obstructions in the area.

Channels move around so much. They had finally put the Action PPV
channel on a good transponder, but now they moved it again to G1-02
which has very bad T.I. for me. Bye for now.

I know people jump on high horses when it is suggested that other countries (Germany, etc)
broadcast in English as more people speak it than German, and while I personally like the
idea of seeing some of the many series and films on RTL or 3Sat or wherever in English, it
would seem trivial (but perhaps expensive) for these broadcasters just to use one of the
audio subcarriers to transmit the original sound, and have the German dub on the main
audio source.

D2-Mac broadcasters should consider offering either subtitles or alternative audio
broadcasts as the norm (I still don't understand why TV3 uses subtitles on screen, perhaps
for cable audiances?).

Is it possible to connect an "Astra-type" 60cm dish with LNB to a Ferguson
BSB receiver that has had (a) an "Astra/Pal" conversion and (b) the D2MAC
EPROM applied? If so, what specification dish is possible?

I am a complete novice, so the answer to the above may be obvious... but
I'd like to know since I have the equipment, bought _extremely_ cheaply,
but haven't put it together yet. I gather that the 35cm dish is too small
to be able to receive anything other than TDF1/2, is this right?

Thanks,

Ari

   The Drake is my only experience.  The TI filter definitely works. Since
the rains started I've had sparklies in video and somtimes sound. The wide
filter generally fixes it and doesn't degrade video. One feature I'd like
to have is stereo sound on the RF output. I've had to wire video and audio
under the house to get stereo or surround sound to remote TVs. 
An advantage of this is somewhat better video on a SONY 32".

Subject: Phase Jitter?
Organization: Hewlett-Packard, Fort Collins, CO, USA
Newsgroups: rec.video.satellite

We're planning to get a system as soon as the ground thaws and we can
plant a pole (early April).  I have a few questions for you netters out there:

  1. I've seen mention to drilling stems vs. 3" pipe.  Is one sturdier 
     than the other, and if so, how much? (we live in a VERY windy area - 
     we're thinking of getting the Orbitron SX-10 dish)?

  2. I've seen two friends satellite systems, and both of them have a type
     of noise that I don't understand.  It's not sparklies or snow;  it looks
     like very slight jitter in the  horizontal sync.  Is this caused by
     a too small dish, or to hot LNB?  Or is there another spec I should be
     worried about, having to do with the phase stability of the LNB or the
     IRD?  The two systems I saw had nothing in common:
	  System 1: Toshiba 2200 with Orbitron 8.5' dish  
	  System 2: Echostar 410 with unknown 10' dish
     I don't know what kind of LNB was on either system.  The jitter effected
     each line - not the whole frame.  Some satellites seemed worse than
     others, although I couldn't tell you which ones.

  3. We're thinking about getting the Drake 1524, since I've seen a lot of
     good things about it on the net.  Any comments?

The last day of sumo is about to happen, and C1/17 is now (10 PM EST)

anywhere from S2 through C5, C or Ku.  I only hope that there's
going to be a transponder sharing arrangement tonight, but I'm not
hopeful.
   It's like watching the world series through the 6th game, and 
then being denied the seventh.  (Of course, domestic Japanese
TV is notorious for cutting off a baseball game in the last of

but it's time to go to antoher show, so....turn on the radio and try to

   My dish only goes as far east as S2.  Where is Panamsat, and does
its footprint stomp me here in western Massachusetts?

The closest thing to it nowadays is KGAY which offers progressive/alternative
music as part of their regular schedule. I believe you'll most likely find it
in the evenings and on weekends. The station also runs some rather eclectic
music at various times and gay/lesbian oriented talk programs.

They can be picked up on G6/17 8.3MHz mono and on G5/6 6.3/6.48MHz Narrow
band discrete stereo.  The primary feed is mono for the time being while
they figure out how to get stereo again since they lost their principal
uplinker recently and had to switch to an alternate which could only provide
mono.

You can call them at 800-733-KGAY and ask for their music schedule.

NHK has been found on C1/17.  The feed to ABC at 2:15 AM EST followed
by the sumo tournement at 2:35.  I hope they stay there.

NE Cable News is now on F2/21.

        Multimedia may be the darling of the trade and general
press but it's still too complex and costly for the vast
majority of computer users.  One lowcost alternative is simply
to enhance our documents and presentation materials with
either free or commercial artwork.

        In this Saturday's (1/23/93) edition of Your Expanding
InfoSphere: CommonSense ComputerTalk we'll take a focused look
at clip art and its place in the computer user's toolbox.
We'll examine how users can prepare more attractive and
compelling materials using this lowcost and simple technology.

LIVE call-ins will be accepted from approx 1530-1550 ET via
show line: 800/231-8255.

NEWS AND FEATURE SECTION MATERIAL:  TBA
