I LOVE the 4th of July vacation. More time to mess around with satellite!

Well this time I used a DirecTV Slimline dish and a BSC621 C/Ku Band LNB

Ku Band was a breeze and I was shocked at the high signal quality, I am sure if it were raining or overcast some of the weaker Ku Band transponders would drop out. But on a clear sunny day this dish performed well on Ku Band.

As for C-Band.............. as per usuall I let my trusty Traxis DBS 3500 do all the work, I knew I was on the Clarke Belt but no matter what I did I could not get a sniftter of a C-band signal. Usuallu I can always get the ASN channel but this time I had no luck. I tested all weekend with no results, I will keep the test rig up and running and post here any further results, I guess I was just expecting too much with a 29" x 25" dish................ Now if I had used the BSC421 LNB with a conical scalar ring? maybe next weekend : )

Happy Birthday USA


R.I.P. Brian "Renfield" Nelson thanks.

  • You really like satellites don't you? :D

  • Could I pick up NBC using this?

  • I have a few of old dtv dishs like this will this work for cband also? i have a 36 inch dish no luck for me here in nc .i am using a bsc 421

  • FYI, this isn't a Slimline dish. It's an AT9. The Slimline is the AU9.

  • I have one of those dishes in my yard with the LNB from Dish still on it. I also have a LNB from a C band dish also so I may try this setup myself.

  • Indeed I do : ) Glad your feeling better!

  • I quite believe it. But bag pipes on youtube on a video about modern satellite dishes? ;o)

    I guess, I should ad some old german marches to some my videos ... how about the Radetzky March? *big grin* ;o)

    No offense meant... You know me, Pete *grin*

  • I agree, I put the bagpipes on there just to bug people : ) Nah! when I hear them it brings a tear to my eye : )
