Thanks for the video, Robbie. If I might make a suggestion. Try using RG6 with proper compression style F-Connectors rated for RG6. With those patch cables shown in the video, you are probably experiencing some major dB loss. If proper RG6 cable is used, proper cable stripping techniques are applied, and the correct compression style RG6 F-Connectors are used, you will experience much better performance in terms of signal loss and there will be no need for "Heat Shrink".
I have done that with the current setup now that I got the compression tool, I am using dule shield rg6, I have had people recommend quad and even RG8 ruclips.net/video/A-l-LF3io6U/видео.html
Appreciate your videos and like all your dishes. As said in other comments, you should invest in a good compression tool to put on F type connectors. I personally only use weatherproof F compression connectors, Belden RG6 Quad shielded cable and only quality 3m electrical tape. When you use cheap connectors , switches and cable you are setting yourself up for huge signal losses. Depending on cable quality and type, losses occur through the maximum insertion loss (Attenuation) of the cable at specific frequencies. This gets critical at satellite frequencies.....Nominal insertion loss at satellite frequencies is tied to cable type and the quality of cable too. Structural return losses are another character of the specific cable too. In laymen's terms....Use quality cable, switches and connectors! The quality of the LNB is critical. But that's another story. Hobby grade LNB's are basically garbage, but they do work.
Hello Robbie. How much does a complete satellite reception system for C-Band and Ku band system cost in North America ? I mean Satellite dish, LNB and Receiver. In Romania a complete satellite system for Ku Band reception cost 147 dollars and includes. Satellite receiver, USALS H-H motor, 20 meter (65.61 feet) tri shield coax cable RG6, satellite dish mounting support and 100 cm (39.37 inches) dish. Almost everyone can afford it especially those interested in FTA reception or simply don't want cable. The C-band no one is using or never used.
Robbie, when your feed horn throat cover goes to crap, just fill the feed with Styrofoam. The signal goes right through it and keeps the bugs out. I've been doing this for years.
Robbie, I enjoyed your cband analog video. I’m a analog technology enthusiast. As we know AMC 11 131W cspan is the only analog channel left, have you tried experimenting with a 4 - 5 foot dish on cband with the analog band ? I’m kinda curious to know if you could receive cspan ntsc analog on a 4-5 foot dish. Curious to know. A video would be awesome if it works out! Curious to know.
I’m brand new to the hobby and just got a C Band dish. I don’t understand what KU band is. If I add a KU LNB to my system, ‘where’ are the KU channels? Currently I get 24 channels (transponders?) on each satellite. Does KU show up on those, or are there separate KU only satellites, or does my receiver need to switch to a KU mode? I’m really confused, but trying to learn
Thanks give me an idea for a video. Ku band is a different frequency than c-band. With Ku band you can receive it with a smaller dish. But you can receive Ku band with a large c band but not the other way around
i am new to this i have 10 or 12 dishes . what the bird to for free programing. i need nbc and cozi tv . which it best receiver to buy that not going rob bank .
Hello Brother, I have a C + Ku band lnb. I place a 160 cm satellite antenna. There is no signal from Ku band. How many cm Antenna should be for this lnb?
Not sure, I do know that the circular plate is for C band Circular! The KU part of the LNB is a Universal LNB on mine. It get some lower frequency ku band stuff that the standard LNB's cant!
The long video where I go though all of the #FreeSatelliteTV channels on C and KU band! ruclips.net/video/t3jwzuVxnuw/видео.html Please watch after this video! A must see!
Thanks Robbie, now are there any places with a good price to find these units without going thru the states ? I can only find them for about 300 . Thanks again bud!
Your plugs and cable are a signal lost generator BTW. In Canada you're better off using the switch inside. How many switchs did I kill with whether, cold etc...! Also my Chinese lnb is the same as yours and I get better signal on Ku even in the North of Quebec province with a 200 foot long cable run., Qualitynew cable and plugs are a must, kills impedance problems.
If you use a RG6 tri shield coax cable you shouldn't have problems. Maybe a sat amplifier may be required to boost the signal. I use RG6 cables and had no problems. And use compression style F-Connectors instead of cheap F connectors especially if you want to combine OTA TV with Satellite TV using diplexers or Cable TV with Satellite TV
Use chaparral c,ku feed horn,c,ku lnb with scew switch fed to old digasyspher slave reciever to move dish and polarity for transponders channel's and switches fed to fta reciever.90 to 97 signal strength c band 85 to 95 ku strength.101w,g16w,g19w.
Aap c band LnB ko Pakistan mein bhej sakte ho mujhe lena hai mera RUclips channel hai isliye Mujhe chahie aapki Kamal Meherbani Hogi aapka sari zindagi mere upar Ahsaan hoga( I love you )

The heat shrink is more or less to keep the ends of the cable protected from the elements

For C band your probably looking at $2000 Around. Cheaper if you get used! ruclips.net/video/E44iwzlp4UE/видео.html

Robbie, I bought this lnb recieveing it in the mail soon. Would you say the ku band on it is circular or linear? The specs didnt say..
Not sure, I do know that the circular plate is for C band Circular! The KU part of the LNB is a Universal LNB on mine. It get some lower frequency ku band stuff that the standard LNB's cant!
I would love to have c band dish but don't think I could put it up myself
Fridge fta is not in operation anymore?
Joe shut it down years ago! :(
@@RobbieStrike oh okay
@@RobbieStrike if I remember correctly fridge fta had forms
@@danpete6623 yes, I liked it as it focused on True FTA and it was not to busy that every day had 100 new posts!

Hey Robbie, as of this date - Aug 2020, what FTA Receiver is at the top of your list ????
The best receiver is the Edison Mio ruclips.net/video/UfcbxhyWnsg/видео.html I also recommend the Amiko mini h.265
Thanks Robbie, now are there any places with a good price to find these units without going thru the states ? I can only find them for about 300 . Thanks again bud!
@@packratswhatif.3990 Check to see if www.Tek2000.com has any

Digital media player streaming is the new satellite
You could experience dropping because of those coax cables, bud. Heat shrink works way better
What do you mean by Heat Shrink?
I have put better ends on the cables since I have shot this video with my crimp tool!
@@RobbieStrike the plastic tubes that you put over cable and apply heat. The tube shrinks over the wire
Also, any arc-gaps between shielding and connector adds attenuation
If you use a RG6 tri shield coax cable you shouldn't have problems. Maybe a sat amplifier may be required to boost the signal. I use RG6 cables and had no problems. And use compression style F-Connectors instead of cheap F connectors especially if you want to combine OTA TV with Satellite TV using diplexers or Cable TV with Satellite TV

I have 30 satellite in my yard. C and ku satellites. I would like to get your thoughts on my setup.
