Frequently
Ask Questions
|
|
What channels can I get with your
receiver?
|
You
will receive channels that are digital MPEG2 and not scrambled.
You can find a listing of these channels (and others) on http://www.lyngsat.com
or http://www.satcodx.com |
|
How
do I read the charts? |
Quick
guide to reading the charts |
|
What size dish do I need for Ku
reception?
|
Normally,
within the boundaries of the continental US, you can use a 75cm dish.
Fringe areas should use a 90cm or larger dish. Southern Canada or
Northern Mexico should use 90cm or larger. |
|
Do you guarantee that these
channels will remain free?
|
No,
no one can guarantee "free channels". You will receive
these channels as long as they remain free and in the clear (not
scrambled). We provide hardware (receiver, LNBF, dish) and not
programming. We make no guarantees or claims about programming. |
|
I
heard there are channels on C-band as well. Will your receiver pick
up C-band? |
Yes,
it will receive C-band and Ku-band. Of course C-band requires a
larger dish and a C-band feed and LNB. |
|
Can
I add your receiver to my existing C-band system. |
Yes,
you can. If you want to receive Ku-band signals on your C-band dish,
you must have a Ku LNB on you feed system. This will usually require
a C to C/Ku upgrade kit. |
| How
do I find the satellite? |
The
satellite you want to use will be determined by the programming you want
to view. Telstar 5 is a very popular satellite for ethnic channels.
Locate your satellite/programming on one of the web sites listed above and
align your dish to that satellite. |
|
How
do I peak my dish? |
I
suggest that you purchase a inexpensive signal meter for this purpose.
Ask for the SF-95 meter. |
| What
channels are available? |
Take
a look at http://www.lyngsat.com.
You can get an idea of the available programming from that site. |
|
How
do I become a dealer for your products? |
Email
or call 770-420-5272 and ask for Robby Dosetareh. A resellers tax
exempt certificate will be required. |
| What
is the warranty of your receiver? |
Unless
specified otherwise, 1 year parts and labor
warranty from the date of purchase. A copy of your original invoice
will be required as proof of purchase. |
|
What
is the noise temperature of your LNBFs? |
We
currently sell only 0.5dB and 0.3dB LNBFs. |
| What
is the warranty of your LNBFs? |
1
year exchange warranty from the date of purchase. A copy of your
invoice will be required as proof of purchase. |
|
I
want two receivers. What do I need? |
You
will need a dual LNBF. Normally, this will be a direct replacement
for your existing LNBF. You will need to run a second coax from the
dual LNBF to your second receiver. |
| I
want more than two receivers. Now what do I need? |
You
will need the dual LNBF and a device called a multi-switch which allows
for several receiver. The most common is a four receiver switch. |
|
Can
I use a diplexer to consolidate my local broadcast channels with my
satellite signal? |
Yes,
you will need two diplexers, one to combine the signal on the outside and
another one to separate those signals on the inside of your home. |
| What
are the rules for installing a dish in my sub-division or apartment? |
You
can review the FCC rulings and get more information at http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html |
