Frequently
Ask Questions
(about our products)
|
|
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/ |
|
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 software (programming).
We make no guarantees or claims about programming. We do sell
receivers that can be upgraded to receiver scrambled channels. |
| 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-99 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? |
mail or call 973-784-0030 and ask
for more info. 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 0.6dB or better 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. Diagram |
| 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. Diagram |
