FTA Satellite Systems Part 3: KU Band Dish Movers, And Scanning The Skies For Cool Stuff!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Sorry for the delay in getting this out. I ended up getting a USALS KU Band Dish mover so that I could take in signals from every satellite in the arc. It's been great, and a lot of fun finding new channels and feeds.
As a result of this re-found hobby, I've gone on to pickup a massive 7.5 foot C-band dish and I've been getting it setup as well. If you are into HAM or CB radio, or just enjoy the thrill of long distance station receiving, these things will fit right in!

That moment when you’re driving into work humming the Far Point Farms intro song… 😂
Love your stuff man !!! Keep em coming!!!
It's a great song isn't it?
i had a 7 foot dish that i got off of a guy and converted the lnb to c/ku and it worked great. i miss those days. great video
One of these days I may get into that . It looks very interesting , but for now I barely have time these days to enjoy 30 minutes in a full calendar week of my CB/Ham radio setup. Working for the man is getting old too fast
I loved that song at the end‼️
The whole 3 videos were very teaching. Thank you.
I love my country music my friend have a great summer !
Appreciate the info. Gonna get me going on another hobby 😂
Sorry I cost you money!
I do FTA and scrambled scan, and have noticed that occasionally some (very few) listed scrambled channels are not scrambled. Also, I have a 10ft Paraclipse digital C-band which brings in tons more channels. I had a lightning air burst recently which knocked out the LNB on my H to H dish (unusual, since it is mounted on the south side of my house, Never had that happen before) and took out my LNBF on my 10 footer! Luckily I had an old LNB for the H to H, and purchased A new one for the C-band digital (they are pricey now!) but will wait until fall to install it, when thunder storm threat passes. If I only had a faraday cage to put over it, LOL! I currently use a GTmedia V8pro2 FTA box for the H to H dish. I was using a KOQIT V5H.265, (a nice upgrade), but the LNB voltage output died, but it is under warrantee until August 4th. So, the GTmedia is it for now! Nice video!
It's certainly worth a rescan when you land on a sat. Many times there are surprises for sure! Sounds like a close call on the 10 footer!
*******Greetings from Mars, it’s freezing cold up here***********
Good to hear the Dymco Box is working for you. There is several #FreeSatelliteTV receivers at a very low price on Online Ebay etc. Europe Asia and Africa that is how people watch TV is with a FTA Satellite System. But in North America it is not well known about! Good Video, Love to see the interface for the ElCheepo Fta Box!
Erik, Nice series on FTA satellite. I had a 10 ft C band dish in mid 80's to around 2000. I really enjoyed listening to audio channels and watching feeds and FTA video. Watching your series and Robbie Strike is tempting me to grab a KU dish and get back into it. Are there many audio carriers on KU or are they mostly on C band still? I got rid of my "BUD" and equipment years ago but it sure looks like present day equipment makes the hobby a lot easier! I have the room for a big dish, but would prefer the smaller KU dishes if there's a lot of FTA and audio there.
KU has a lot of cool stuff and some audio, but C-band is still kind when it comes to audio. Still, I'd say get a KU band setup with a motor and you'll be busy for ages getting to know all the cool stuff that is hiding up there now.
@@FarpointFarms Thank you for the reply and info. Looks like my hobby / project list is growing!
Thanks for all you do! I really enjoy the video’s.
Reminds me of that movie stay tuned with John Ritter. Be careful not to get sucked in to the tv.
Thanks for these videos about this. I came across them as I knew about FTA satellite stuff since I was a teenager in the early/mid 2000s, but back then just a box alone was $100-200 easily, and my mom wasn't about to cord cut back then. But now scrolling through ebay, I've found a lot of boxes for as you said, $20-30, and it's cool it seems a lot cheaper to get into the hobby now, but there overall seems to be less channels and less interesting stuff on TV. :( Though as you said in a last video about information being constrained, it may still be good to have as a backup plan for sure.
Cool and super helpful videos, though. Thanks a lot!
Good morning Farm Family 🇺🇸
Info wars hahah that’s awesome
That looks like it has the open box software. If you punch in 6666 in the network menu it unlocks something called Cccam, and that gives you some extra channels off satellites if you have a login (it can connect to servers that got the descrambling codes), you need internet on the box thought
neat stuff any idea of the freq range those dishes work ? and what is the LO frequency in the LNA , downconverter at the nose of the dish? may try to find one of those dishes and do some testing.
Morning Eric! Greetings from Houston Tx.
That's interesting. I had no idea this was available. 👍
Have you found any cool feeds like raw live video off of the satellite truck showing the reporter chilling while they're off air on the main channel?
Cool stuff.
What website did you use to type latitude and longitude?
I used an "App" I wish I remembered the name, but i hardly ever use a cell phone so I had my wife find it. It was pretty cool and used your location as well as the camera on your phone to show you the locations of these sats in the sky.
DUMB question, so when you get one satellite dialed in it can find the others ?
If you are using the fancy new usals system, yup! It's so nice. Find true west, lock in a day and let the box know what one it's on and it calculates all the others perfectly!
Please let us know what items you bought to complete this setup? Thank you.
Will do, I'm going to try and make a short video with links and costs this weekend.
Can I use a Dish satellite to use a new recover & a ku band with it
Yes and no. They do work with a new LNB and a new receiver, but they are not ideal.
Is that receiver available under a different brand? I cant find it available anywhere.
There are various brands, some cheap and some expensive, some good some bad... check out Robbie Strike's channel, he's got some reviews on a few. Amazon and eBay are your best bet for finding receivers.
Cool.
BTW
THIS IS M A G A COUNTRY!🇺🇸😎
Will it work on dish network
No, this is conventional FTA not a descrambler.
Infowars! Good choice!
Can you post a shopping list of your set up?
Will do. Give me a week or two and I'll put together a starter kit.
awesome ! about time part 3 came out ..any Japanese channels??
Yes, in fact I was watching sumo wrestling just the other day.
Please help me to find the sat for tv channels from Afghanistan 🇦🇫
G19 here in the states has some.
@@FarpointFarms thanks 😊, but please search how to get Tolo Tv 📺
On the Koqit K1 receiver under Motor it says None so this is never going to work!
hey there can you scan music radio channels please. best regards
Lol InfoWars, the channel run by a guy who defended himself in court by saying he's just an entertainer making it all up.
Its a moving saucier
