Thanks again,

I had forgotten about that option. If you simply attempt to type over the TP frequency, it will ask you if you want to "EDIT or ADD" the TP. Either method works fine.

Finally got it all working. It's nice to have PBS back again. It's been many years.

Thanks everyone for your help,

Dennis

Is PBS on anyother satellite than at 125?

**Iceberg** · 02-08-2010 10:33 PM

103 C-Band but its just HD & SD feed
125 KU has so many more channels

Sony,

If you can pull it in, Telstar 14 @ 63.0° W TP 11.966 V SR 11280 has 10 channels for SCETV (South Carolina Educational TV). CREATE and ETV World are here, but most are feed channels.

Lyngsat has this TP information listed incorrectly. They have it listed as 11.959 V SR 4340 and that is outdated.

Telstar 14 used to be Estrela do Sul. It is my weakest satellite that I can still pull in with a 75 cm dish in the Omaha, NE area. I am currently using a 1.2 M dish which helps the signal quality.

Not particularly important, but as has been discussed before, this sat has been Telstar 14 from the day it was launched. It's name was not changed. It always had 2 names.
I think the Estrela do Sul part refers to the South American coverage, and Telstar 14 refers to the CONUS coverage. SCETV has been on this sat for years, it's just that their signal there was DCII with parameters not easily receivable by 4DTV owners, so it's existance was not well known, but owners of commercial DCII receivers were well aware of it. But since SCETV was the main CONUS user of the sat, and people didn't know about it, Lyngsat didn't use the T14 name until the SCETV signal switched to DVB.

Anyway, not important, it's just a name, but the official name has been Telstar-14 since it was launched, actually before it was launched.

Ah ha! That clears that up for me.

Thanks B.J.
