Hi Rick. Too much memories from the 80s. My heroic era when we needed a 3m dish, moving by actuator..... Huge LNBs, very noisy, low sensibility. Intricate mounts and alignment where you had to use declination along with azimuth and elevation.
An easy job nowadays. Thanks again for the memories.
I’ll bring my sat meter next time I come over lol the weather is looking fantastic have a beer for me 🍻🍻
If we ever lost a signal it was nearly always down to the plastic cap breaking down and the waveguide being full of earwigs!
Thanks for the bird's eye view of PARADISE!!! The Canary Islands are very beautiful. Would love to visit some day. Will look you up when we do! Great video, of course!!!
Heya, nice to see some other work that you'r doing and then some nice drone shots and together with Det, hope to see a part 2 soon
i wish u were my neighbor!! it would be soo awesome! thanx for all the learning!!
If I was there I'd be very tempted to organize that cable mess... but if it works, just it should stay that way.
Nice job explaining a satellite TV system. Enjoyed learning something new to me.
@LearnElectronicsRepair Nice to see some other part of repairwork. And you brought Det along ;-)
Wow that's a fantastic view. Go down near the pool see if you can spot any 'white pointers' hehe!
I hope you do more of these, Richard.
Great video, as you said very few of us would have any exposure to satellite receivers. Peter
Nice video, good to see a little more of the island, and some on-site fault finding. Also just a bit envious of the sun out there !
Yeah the January sun can be really nice, it's 24-25C day times at the moment and minimum 17-18C at night. But tomorrow 1st Feb is officially spring here so it may warm up a bit, and expect it to be 28-30C days by early March 😉
@@LearnElectronicsRepair Currently 8c in Basildon, would be very happy with 17c at the moment. Thanks for the basic description of how the satellite transmission works.
Interesting, good to see how things operate on site.
Nice office !!!!....cheers.
Great video thanks Richard 👍👍👍
3:00 - Fascinating! Where did you get that software?! Just a peek inside the complexities of receiving satellite signals.
The view is gorgeous. reminds me of Santorini. Where is it if I may ask?
BTW your videos are excellent!
It's about half way between Puerto Rico beach and Amadores beach. The cliff side walkway goes between the two
Pretty interesting, always wondered how hotel tv systems worked
Loved it, thanks for sharing!
I thoroughly detest those twist on F-connectors... the Devils spawn
The different channels with different languages does not transmit on each satellite. Normally it works like this Astra 19.2 east has many different languages english, german, etc. And same goes for 13 east. So each language does not have it own satellite.
True. So this system receives
Canary Islands TV (Terrestrial Antenna)
German French and Spanish TV (Astra 19E)
French and Italian (Hotbird 13E)
English (BBC, ITV Channel 4) Intelsat 27.5W
English (Sky) Astra 2 28E
Sweden, Norway, Finland by IPTV - satellite signals too weak to receive
This represents the main groups of tourists using this hotel.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing
Looks like a job for the early morning. It must be getting very hot up there.
Interesting one. Thanks. And so jeaulous of the weather.
Interesting. I wonder if this is similar to quadraphonic records. 4 channels in one groove.
Perfect video! But why DVB-T and not DVB-C in a hotel? You have a cable network, not terrestrial TX?
No idea - I didn't install the original system
Super interesting dive into satellite systems. Do you find the LNB's break more frequently than other parts of the system? When I dealt with satellite internet tertiary backup connections years ago they were typically what broke down and had to be replaced. I always suspected it was more the quality of (or lack there of) the equipment, though.
Actually the most common fault here is the coaxial cable from the dish. The sun bakes them and they go hard and brittle. The continuity is still good but the signal won't go down the cable for some reason. After a while the outer plastic sleeve actually breaks up and crumbles. SOmetimes they run the coax through black hose pipes to prevent this or at lesat delay this as the hose pipe also degrades in the sun. This never happened when I ran a similar company in the UK. After that the next most likely problem is the dish goes out of line during high winds, which we get maybe once or twice a year, and after that the LNB.
In the UK it was most often dish out of line due to bad weather, them LNB failed (because rain got in it mostly) and after that the coax which almost never failed.
Richard that is absolutely beautiful. Where exactly are you located if you don’t mind my asking? Thanks for sharing. How would you get a new disc up there? Richard I hope all is well back to your electronic videos. 😊
This is about half way between Puerto Rico beach and Amadores beach, Gran Canaria. There is a nice coastal walkway between the two beaches, it's about 1.5Km long and you can see it on the drone video
@@LearnElectronicsRepair Richard thank you so much for the reply. It’s just beautiful. Your videos are a big help I enjoy all of them 👍
The architecture is awful, but the weather for sure is great. Thx a lot for this very informative video!
Well, I've just learned something I didn't know I wanted to know. Nay lad, you cant beat Filey on the costa del Yorkshire😊
Isn't that coast known for bad weather and vampires?
Richard I picked up a hy-tronix myriad xk model 440 at a local Goodwill. Have ya ever heard of one or know anything about them? It is from the 80's
What you did there wouldn't be possible nowadays in most countries due to OHS etc. You would need a safety harness, barriers on the tops of all roofs, 10 people standing around spotting you etc. It's really no wonder why many of the ex-big-industrial countries no longer produce anything heh!
20:07 - These screw-in F-connectors are very flimsy. Our local cable TV company stopped using them 15 years ago. They now use a press-fit type. You need a special crimping tool to install this new type.
Nice view! Have you visted Azores islands? I have been once on the Sao Miguel and in the city Ponta Delgada.
No we've not been to the Azores, it's nice I guess
Didn't quite get what a local oscillator does. Is it functioning as a superheterodyne? Nice idea going onsite. Watching from cold Montréal with envy. 😂👍👍
Yes, Superheterodyne
I think these will be obsolete in near future do to Starlink LEO's hyper fast expansion. There will be only ultra high definition IPTV.
Thanks for fantastic video!
They have three IPTV boxes for scandinavian TV as the satellite signal is too weak. There are about 70 channels going to the rooms, you could not do that with IPTV, especially UHD. Imagine the bandwidth you would need!
I think I'm living in the wrong part of the planet. Been raining for the last 2 days on my outdoor jobsite....
Cool....
what's the point of satellite tv in this day and age? Haven't they got iptv or something else internet based ?
Nice 😁
Hands down best electronics channel on youtube.
Blue skies and tee shirt weather in January.
Blue skies and tee shirt weather any time of year 😉 Stick a pin in the annual calendar and you can arrange a barbecue for that date, no problem.
Very interesting video explaining Satellite broadcasts. But I have one question - what is a Wideband LNB? Apparently Sky Q boxes in the UK use a Wideband LNB and this isn't compatible with older Freesat boxes (eg Humax). I'm assuming Wideband means they don't use the Low/High switching frequency with the 2 oscillators and send a much wider range of frequencies down to the receiver box. Thanks.
Yeah exactly that - the wideband LNB has a single local oscillator so no high band / low band. Obviously is still needs Horizontal and Vertical, this is why the wideband LNB has two cables to the receiver. There are also Quatro LNBs which have four cables for HH, HV, LH, LV to give all the quadrants to multiple receivers simultaneously (not to be confused with Quad Universal LNB which have four independent switchable outputs)
Thanks for explaining. So does one cable have all the Vertical channels and the other all the Horizontal channels? I do remember the early Sky/Astra days where you had to tune your satellite receiver manually, but that was just a frequency plus H or V, no Low/High band back then that I recall. The Echostar receiver we had later also had settings for audio, but that was capable of moving the dish so not only Astra but Intelsat/Eutelsat reception.
I am sitting here feeling cold while you are sunning your self. Life is not fair.
Well the UK took back control so do something about it LOL 😂😂😂😂
Do you get plagued with mosquitoes and gnats as the weather is warm?@@LearnElectronicsRepair
Did someone steal Marvin the Martians modulator?
Your cameraman is terrible! You can't see your screen. Thank you for the informative video
tone it down mate it's probably not a cameraman he hired it's his friend or relative or something no need to be so harsh.
besides it's not his one of his hard core educational video it's casual/relaxing.
Enjoy it as it's supposed to be without complaining.
Hello sir, can you help with one problem? My rx580 has 2 modules of memory destryed, they destroyed the motherboard as well i can't use that's slots A0/A1 can i mod the bios to the video board to uses only the b/c and d channels ? I have a Gtx 1650 with 5 channels, but it only uses 4
Well if you can't find the answer in google and have to ask in a video about a hotel satellite tv system, the answer is probably not.
@@Sydney268 i know, but he has some videos about gpu.
You should put a long range camera on that drone and get us some good bikini shots. Hehe

That’s better. Thanks Richard lol. 😃What a beautiful place!
That was a really interesting video Richard, I didn't have a clue how a system like that worked.
I lived in Greece, Germany and France for over 15 years and only returned to the uk as my elderly parents are getting really frail and you can't trust the british state to care for them. I'm trapped here in the uk and wish I could find a way to leave when the time comes. I ran a little engineering company with my partner but brexit ruined that (non tariff charges). I'm envious of your weather and lifestyle. Thanks again for the great videos, my favourite UA-cam channel.
Gibraltar, Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU.
There are plans for Scotland to return to the EU after their Independence Referendum is passed.
@@anthonyshiels9273 And NI after reunification. No idea about Gibraltar's intentions.
@@anthonyshiels9273 I'd sell up and leave little england tomorrow if I could find a way that didn't involve being a millionaire! I voted to remain and given the tiny majority the whole referendum thing was a scam.
Europe gave me the best jobs I've ever had. I ran the IT for a school teaching English as a foreign language and a photographic lab for a big advertising company in Greece. I absolutely loved living in Greece 🇬🇷
I ran a motorcycle dealership in Paderborn, Germany and worked as a technician in English language theatre in France. Now I'm technically unemployed since we had to fold the engineering and fabrication company as over 1/3 of our products used to go to Europe 😔
Why I don't see my comment??
No idea because I can see it, I just answered to it 😉
