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...!

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.

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.
