Anyone using this with satellite? I am curious if it passes power and diseqc commands?

this is merely an AB switch for Tv signals (cable and Air) to be chosen back and forth.Yes this includes Satellite signals from your satellite tuner or box.

Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability. W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

I have this problem once. Try refreshing the C550 by going to "recent destinations" and selecting a destination. Keep doing it until it picks up satellite. After a couple of tries, it should work.

I haven't tried it yet, but will tomorrow. I have it plugged in to the rear of my satellite dish box.

Having connect both a diawa power meter through to a dummy load I can indeed verify it's a stable. 60W over a range of frequencies. Quite different from performing a MARS mod on a typical Ham radio and see power fluctuating all over it's ranges.9Z4CY / KZ4CY

I haven't hooked up what you have, but I use these control an astronomical telescope and they work great. I replaced a number of other USB/Serial converters that used Prolific chips with these. These use FTDI chips and are much more reliable, at least in the astronomical community.

I can use my 255W while charging via wall plug, so the issue you describe is not "normal". I'll get a dark screen that states the "maps are loading", the maps load, and the I can use the unit within 30 seconds. Sometimes the unit is delayed launching maps while it looks for a satellite signal. Have you tried charging the unit in an area with a clear southern view?

It does not work with my Dish Network receiver, and it is IR controlled. I do not know why, but some cable and satellite receivers seem to have problems using IR repeaters.

I live in the caribbean and it works great.I really don't know in southamerica. Check the satellites you have available in your area ( I use 110 and 119 but works with others).

I agree with Teri L. Arrasmith, I had to hook mine to the satellite box and I have had no problems with it. I've had it for about 6 months now. Works great.

Yes, as far as I can tell you need the base station to make the entire system work. The satellite stations are only chargers. You need to base station to connect everything together, but it works perfectly.

I have 2 units and have to issues with neither of them...I use it for basic AC and DC power reading takes. I do get some insignificant reading when power on but when connecting to the power source for measurement works well and power reading are correct.I hope this helps....

No,My issue is changing channels using the infrared extender no working with a satellite receiver.

You do not lose satellite functionality with this unit. However, I will say that the bluetooth streaming was distorted and the USB port would not charge my Android phone. These 2 things led me to return the unit.

We just installed this very setup in our Rv. The directv tech had to run it through the satellite input in our trailer vs. Cable. Why, I do not know.

Yes, it can control pretty much any satellite tv network. I referenced my user guide to be 100% sure and there are many Direct Tv codes that should accommodate your setup. I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase of this product and I have never had a problem hooking up any of my tv add ons- what so ever. I hope my reply helps you in your decision to purchase this product. :)

This unit is Sirius XM ready...connector already exists. I don't use satellite, but it is a nice feature to have. I do use the USB hub to charge my Bionic and iPod as I drive..
