I am getting channels on 11720 and 11800 but here are some south asian channels on TP-11965 and I am not getting these channels?? Is there any one getting these channels. Are these channels also FTA?
My second question is about Galaxy 23 at 121.0°W with EchoStar 9/Galaxy 23 at 121.0°W. There are FTA channels under C-Band .
Can i try to get these channels with my Viewsat2000 Extrem with 33 inch dish and linear LNB?? Is any one getting thoses fta channesl.
When Desh-nut goes down will I be able to get still these c-band fta channels on Galaxy 23 at 121.0°W .
Please answer my questions.Thanks

First - those channels on 11965 are not there, they have come and left and come back and left a few times. Who knows if they will come back or not?
Second - you will need a larger dish than 33" to get the C-Band FTA on G23 with any consistency, and you will need a C-Band lnb. I would recommend at least an 8' dish for C-Band, some here are content with a 6' dish...? I get channels on C-Band FTA, but I'm using a 10' dish.
Third - I have no idea what Desh-nut is, so I can't answer about it. But if you are getting Dish Network with a Viewsat receiver you are stealing, and don't belong on this Forum? We don' condone stealing...!

There are occasionally FTA channels and backhauls on EchoStar 9.

Ever since the change my 123 reception has been horrible. After the change I lost virtually all channels, one-by-one. Recently I deleted all my channels on 123 and re-scanned millions of times. The best I get is 5 channels, with the strongest TP being the Correctional Services Network.

I do not know what to do.

readjust the dish

**jluyt** · 07-15-2008 10:33 PM

It is on a motor... I have adjusted it more E or W, but it is on the arc.

I had the same problem,so I moved the dish on the pole.It did not take much just a little twist, the bolts was still tight,it just needed a bump my Q went from 25 to 55.mine is on a motor to.

E/W or Up/Down? I do not want to mess up my other channels on the arc. It took me forever to get it optimized.

I picked a channel that had a 35% signal. I watched the meter on the Mercury II and leaned up, down, east then west. only improvement was up. Down was a loss and E or W did nothing. Bumped up a hair and Q went up 30 points. I seem to have enough channels now. Do not know if all of them as am still very busy on other things while the outside temp is bearable.
