A Tour of My Satellite TV System

[@Nicholas_Chris]

Cool system Northcoaster Hobby! It's similar to mine except the C Band dishes.

[@silentmajority5657]

Thanks for the information. May God Bless You and yours.

[@Nicholas_Chris]

For the Ku Band motorized dish, I would recommend a 100 cm dish since you use a USALS H-H Motor, it will get all Ku Band channels. For example the dish at 0:42 can be installed on the USALS H-H motor, and the smaller once goes up.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

A good idea, I've been thinking about a larger motorized dish.

[@Nicholas_Chris]

@@NorthcoasterHobby I use a 100 cm mesh dish and a USALS H-H motor DM3800 both from AMIKO, and the LNB is an AMIKO ECO L-408 4 outputs, it does an excellent job especially on weak satellites and transponders. And I installed the satellite dish in May 2018, only the LNB I replaced in May this year. The old LNB is from RT Inverto, and did a good job unfortunately it got short circuited from a faulty receiver.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@Nicholas_Chris Good thing you changed it.

[@daveshelliemacdonald3228]

thanks for all the videos ...I m now watching my 10 ft mesh c band and a 39" k u band regularly with some great tips ...thanks .👍

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching my videos!👍

[@eprohoda]

Northcoaster-How’s everything going?!what a perfetc masterpiece. see you later- 😌

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Things are good, thanks for watching!

[@Nicholas_Chris]

At 4:52 there is an antenna near the C Band dish, is that what you mostly use for all TVs? or it's connected to only one TV and for other TV sets you use other antennas?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I'm testing that one out right now!

[@Nicholas_Chris]

​@@NorthcoasterHobby Will you upload a video on how it performs, in the next days?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@Nicholas_Chris I'll do my best!

[@donbest5024]

I wish tvs had electronic duplex switching systems in them so I could use 8 outside tv antennas, use ports for each channel scanned in for each market im pointed at.

[@FlorinAlexPopa]

Hi there, great content, is there a video about a multi-switch setup? I'm very interested in that: 1 LNB and multiple independent receivers (not bound by polarization). Thanks.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I’ll be working on that soon.

[@qualitysw636]

Hi. Great Video! I noticed that for your own motorized dish you do not use USALS and instead use DiSeqC 1.2. Why is that? Have you create a video on how to use DiSeqC1.2? I would be interested in learning how you find satellites using DiSeqC 1.2.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

With DiSEqC 1.2 you can dial in a satellite even if the dish setup is not perfect. USALS requires an almost perfect setup and alignment to be in sync with the entire arc. I am able to pick up some satellites with USALS, and some with DiSEqC 1.2 on this dish, go figure!😄 I do plan a video on this at some point. Thanks for watching!

[@westleygress2160]

Once my home is built would like to set up this kind of thing. Cable here in fl is outrageous.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Cable TV has become way too expensive everywhere it seems.

[@salvage-1electronics606]

I know in one of your previous videos, you had an old Pelco heavy duty outdoor P/T mount. Any chance that one or another one might be for sale? I just picked up a 1M uplink / downlink Ku band unit and I would like to motorize it and play around with FTA satellite. I already have the receivers. Thanks

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.

[@franciscocastellanos9157]

What you think of the old timer Chaparral Corrotor dual feed Ku / C band compared to the newest fixed positions lnb's ?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Should work just as well. Except for the fact a polarity control is required on them.

[@franciscocastellanos9157]

@@NorthcoasterHobby thanks for your reply, what lnb`s with 5g filter you recommend? for Ku and C band

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@franciscocastellanos9157 5G is a concern for C Band, but not with KU Band. C Band Satellite LNB with 5G Filter kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqKXq52kjNCSi5Y

Are the BYU channels on KU on 116.8 west or Cband

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

KU Band

[@daveshelliemacdonald3228]

Have you or any of your watchers tried ( I'm interested in trying ) a double head c band lnb holder for 2sateiltes at once ....such as 101&103? or can you do a video on this ?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I haven’t tried this, but I’ve thought about it.

[@javierbrito919]

Amigo me gustó tu vídeo una pregunta este satélite 97 SAT en ku tiene cobertura acá en México país soy yo del estado Campeche sureste me.podria decir y tamaño se antena

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Hola y gracias por ver mi video. Un plato de 90 cm o más funcionará bien para recibir este satélite.

Hi I said I wasn’t going to do another review on the azure shine d-100d. Well I got really got sick of having to constantly realign four separate inb ‘s so I got a hh motor, you have to be careful to get the right size mounting tube 42 mm is the most common dish mount size there also a 50 mm , direct tv-hues net the dish mount’s are larger, you have to get the right size most suppliers will not accept a return if you don’t get it right. Back to review No problem mounting to hh motor the problem that I had was relying on the elevation and declination angle table that comes with the motor, not every manufactured dish is the same they can be different so I trash caned declination angle table from motor manufacture I had to go at least 15 degrees below the motor’s manufactures recommend setting. What I did was once I started picking up tip numbers I would lower the dish elevation them scan. On this dish I am getting amc 21 on the 36 inch dish that I have had for 4 or 5 years can not lock amc 21 , the saying bigger is better on dishes is right, it sounds a bit confusing but it’s not. Hopefully someone may find this declination issue helpful I learned this the hard way. Again all and all this is a good dish.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I appreciate the update. You’re right about the declination angle. It’s different for every motor manufacturer.

[@കമൻറ്മാത്രം]

Does the 5G signal affect the C band dish signal there?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

We don’t have 5G yet. But I have an LNB with a 5G filter. However in some areas with 5G some C Band users have experienced interference.

[@bobtheagent99]

What happened to Nagra, is it still around?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

yes

[@bobschallalcs584]

WHERE DID YOU GET THE DISH MOTOR?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I got it locally for free.

[@bobschallalcs584]

@@NorthcoasterHobby IS IT A VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL DISH MOTOR AND WHAT IS THE NAME BRAND OR TYPE YOU WOULD ORDER AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND A PLACE TO ORDER ONE FROM

[@jasperscott5426]

Interesting KZbin.

[@tomthumb5688]

Hi Today I am running an idea of mounting a 39 inch or smaller ku band dish to a tv antenna mast , using the base or foot and offset dish mast. I am going to try antenna cross over bracket it should give enough area to mount a flat plate to bolt to cross over bracket, being careful to get it to 90 degrees horizontal as close as you can , elevation you can do with dish , getting it 90 degrees all the way around is the best way. Ware the rest of the dishes are set up trees are blocking the Atlantic satellite’s I only get one satellite below sea 2 know. Got to get 90 feet southwest to get good shot at Atlantic’ s . Will update if it works. Notice this is for a mount close to the ground not for mounting dish 30 feet off ground.

[@mlionea]

Can it work FTA in Kenya ?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

There is FTA satellite all over the world: www.lyngsat.com
