Universal KU Band Satellite LNB’s Explained - Free Satellite Television

[@janbill79]

very interesting stuff , I'm glued to listening to the facts , also explains the automatic volt switching for a c-band ku band combo lnbf. that I've never heard explained. I have a 22 switch added for that, to go betwwen c & ku

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Exactly. That’s how the switching happens for a C/KU LNB as well, 22KHz tone.👍 Thank you for watching!

@@NorthcoasterHobby MY c band work for a while and quits,burned out 2 diff cox cables . should I solder the ground on each end for trouble shooting. the receiver says its 12 volts amiko brand and uses voltages for switching . MY 1990's sat had seperate wires. and never had this problem

[@janbill79]

I found out in was the aluminum foil around the bradded ground I didn't remove , that caused my signal to go away. so i cut back the black coating , wrapped a wire around & soldered to the normal braded gnd. shield & to the coaxial end staying away from the part that turns now i got a signal again

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@janbill79 sounds like a short between the shielding and the centre conductor. Glad you figured it out.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@janbill79 the switching voltage is 13/18V. The 12V switching is an older way of switching LNB signals, not commonly used anymore.

Thank you for this explanation, i learned a lot from your video, nice work friend, more success

[@donbest5024]

I use the same universal lnb,on 116w ku I can't recieve the 14 h265 channels but I can recieve the 4 or 5 Mexican channels that you said you can't recieve,I will go back in my settings and set for low frequency and high frequency and see if this will fix problem with that satellite,thank you for good info.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I hope it works, thanks for watching.

[@omsingharjit]

Now i know what 22khz doing in ghz fields

[@silentmajority5657]

Wow, you know your stuff. Great video.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@sankarn.s5645]

Is same satellite will send H & V polarise signals. What is the differnce ?? Which polarisation is better

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

One satellite can transmit both horizontal and vertical transponders. There is no benefit to either one as far as I know, the difference is simply the orientation of the signal wavelength. Either it is oriented in a vertical line or in a horizontal line, hence the polarity difference. Today’s LNB’s and satellite receivers use electronic polarity switching, which happens automatically as you change the channel, according to the polarity of the signal.

TY!

Best video bro

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Thanks for watching!

[@arisntivartzis8300]

Great explanation sir ! i would like to know if a OVAL dish plate can receive the same TPs (data) as a round dish.will we have any loss? i Live in Europe .Thank you sir !

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I use elliptical dishes (60 and 75 cm) with no issues. However a bigger size dish is always better in this hobby. Some transponders that have a higher FEC require a larger size dish. Why You Might Need a Bigger Size Satellite Dish for Free Satellite TV kzbin.info/www/bejne/epi4dH1qipyajq8

[@Nicholas_Chris]

@@NorthcoasterHobby In general 80 cm dishes will do a great job receiving all transponders and the signal is very good, but for Ku Band I recommend a 100 - 120cm dish. Then you have no problems.

HOWdy N-C-H, ... Thanks = very plainly EXPLAINED COOP the WiSeNhEiMeR from Richmond, INDIANA ...

[@sankarn.s5645]

Can i use the same lnb for H & V Polarised signals

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Yes, one LNB will receive both signal polarities. The LNB contains two antennas -one is oriented horizontally, and the other vertically. The receiver will detect the polarity of the signal and automatically switches as required. I would make sure that the ‘auto polarity’ setting is turned on in the receiver menu to ensure that everything works as it should.

[@chrismistrot]

hello Northcoaster Hobby, having a devil of a time connecting an iDirect MDM3310 modem to data satellites, especially Eutelsat 117 116.8W I am using a standard KU LNB any suggestions?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Make sure the LNB frequency is set to match your LNB’s LO Frequency. I’ve never used one of those devices you mentioned. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4bQc4eqd71pprc

[@aldenmarkel6539]

Is that KU Band LNB can use in any part of Asia?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Yes

[@Nicholas_Chris]

Universal KU Band LNBs will work excellent everywhere. Make sure the satellites you try to receive have KU Band frequencies otherwise it will not work. Also there are some satellites that broadcast circular instead of linear, a Universal Ku Band will not receive circular polarization only linear polarization so you need a circular Ku Band LNB but this is a rare case and is mostly used for subscription based channels. Northcoaster Hobby explains very well everything about free satellite TV

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@Nicholas_Chris Thanks Nicholas👍👍

[@Nicholas_Chris]

@@NorthcoasterHobby I have some friends that are new to FTA satellite TV so I recommended your channel the only difference is that we use both eastern and western satellites. In South Eastern Europe or Balkan region we can receive satellites from Hispasat 30 West up to Intelsat 68.5 East. Lots of FTA TV and Radio channels on Ku Band.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@Nicholas_Chris Thank you, I really appreciate it.👍👍

[@lloydfalcon8690]

Will it work on dish

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Dish Network requires a circular KU LNB. The universal LNB is linear.

Hello, I bought a GT media finder....finding out that a tree has blocked my SES3 window from EVERY angle on my property. If you know anyone who wants it, I'll let it go cheap, barely used. I used to have a path, a GOOD path...but it isn't my tree, so I am screwed....No more sat music here...Oh well. Thanks for all the tips from you and your followers!!!

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Sorry to hear that, maybe try the Facebook satellite groups, someone might be looking for a meter there. You could always set up your dish on another satellite too. Thanks for watching.📡

[@iamdansoof1213]

I have a satellite 📡 television but I’m not getting any signal on it. Lnb cannot be found even though I get signal on decoder. Please what do I do.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Check all cables, and the LNB. Maybe the LNB needs to be replaced. Is it possible the dish moved? Even a millimeter makes a difference.

[@stanleybest8833]

Your chart says high is 10.750 instead of 10.600. oops.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

I must’ve been thinking about the Shaw/Star Choice dish, which has a universal LNB with an LO of 9750-10750 MHz.
