Remarkable that John sees a lot a variation, Ian is clearly on the edge of the footprint which does add more variations but John's location should not be affected. John your recent change is most like

Make sure you do not connect to your receive PC using RDP ( remote desktop) as this will stop your reception. I use thightVNC to control my receive PC remotely. Have you double checked your username a

Good news Berend ! Glad that is solved now. The TBS-6983 is running very reliable overhere. When you said that non of the two tuner LEDs was on I was already thinking about a software issue. Do you kn

Hello Berend, Are you sure you have 16 Volt on the PCIe slot and on the chokes ? There should be no more than 12.0 Volts on the PCIe bus ! ATX specs say it should not deviate more than 5% 5% is +11.40

Hello Berend, At first I was mistaken, you need to supply 18 Volts to the LNB to get it on Horizontal ! 12 to 13 Volts will activate Vertical mode, should give RF level readout but no lock or SNR. 22

Hello Berend, I have not seen a case where both tuner A and tuner B have lost its LNB powersupply. Both tuners have independent voltage regulators that should handle short circuit. But they may fail o

Use car wax to make your LNB cap repel water drops. Droplets should run down, not cling to the cap's surface. A 2 liter coke bottle placed over the LNB cap works even better, the trick is that even th

Hello Hartmut, Your weekly graph shows 2 things: 1 Daily variation in SNR, most likely cause by small alignment error (elevation or azimuth) 2 Big jump when Vertical signal is switched off. This is ca

Many thanks David for the new Beta. Currently I have a faulty VDSL router that looses connection frequently. Hope to receive a new router soon. Luckily I watch F1 on cable TV ! Greetings, Arne

David and Ernst, I had not noticed the sidelobe in the east of my setup before. Most likely it is the LNB used for 13 east that is close to the 10 East. If the sun is "baking" the 13 east LNB, some mi

Many thanks David for making the SNR lists visible in one graph. I hope Ophelia did not move your dish on its mount. I see Ernst his "dip times" shift a lot while on my graphs the dip only shifted sli

You can easily improve the Triax elevation adjustment using a window hinge, a stainless steel rod and an angle iron and some M6 bolts and nuts from your DIY store. Only basic tools required. Loosen up

Thanks Thorsten for you offer to help. I did a second attempt with Excel and although I cannot get seconds before or after peak scale, it does look my peak did occurs very closed to predicted value on

I did record SNR on T1 successful today ( just kept lock at 6.4 dB SNR) and a quick look shows my SNR dip is within seconds of the calculated Solar Outage peak ! But I need to convert my SNR list into

Thanks for your remark Thorsten, I was running an older version ! Update to latest WXtrack shows different values, very close to but not the same: Satellite solar outage list produced by WXtrack Locat

Hello Ernst, The site calculates outage start at October 9 until October 15th for my location ( near Rotterdam ) but I already had lost packets on T2 on October 6th ! Peak at 12 October , closest -0.1

One problem Solved; RecordSNR needs path to SignalEX or be in same folder. Now I have to test running a second instance. Greetings, Arne

I setup David's RecordSNR on my W7 sytem with the TBS6983 and BDADataEx 1.1.4.5 but when it should start to record I get error: "List index out of bounds (0)" I run two instances, one for device 1 ( T

A new scan using Crazy Cat's CrazyScan on my TBS6983 confirms that 11263 MHz Vertical is off air ! This does explain why some noticed SNR jump up on T1. http://home.hccnet.nl/a.van.belle/GEO/10.0E-RFS
