Thread: ABC News Now Galaxy 28 at 89.0°W

West-nobody's upset, we all have some bad times. Stay involved here, the more input we have, the better. The flying might be ok for you, but I prefer the ground,lol.
Also, when you get audio like that, push the audio button, and then the right or left arrow on remote. That should cut out one or the other audio feed that's mixed in, so you can choose.

no worries and no reason to leave We're all here to help. I've done that a few times too...thought I was on one satellite only to find out I was off by a little bit
I always say "Dont sweat the small stuff here" (boy that's so true right now in my life)

Yes it is g28 for sure.
I entered the tp numbers and came up with BYU. Video feed of a football game and it also had two audio feeds .one of a football game then over top of this there was an announcement from the church of latter day saints about if you’re having technical difficulty ………Kind of hard to watch the game with two sets of audio feeds. And the audio thing is still there this morning.

BYU uses multiple audio feeds and they are on one side at a time. Easiest thing to do is press audio/language button and pick only LEFT side audio. There are numerous languages on the BYU channels and if you scroll through the left side has _______________ language (ex: Spanish) and the right side has another language (ex: chinese). You just need to select the audio side that you want.

No reason to leave everyone makes mistakes. Just chalk it up to a mistake and enjoy what you have and keep watching what you like there.

Thanks for being so understanding and inviting me to stay. Were all only human in the end. You are so right iceberg, don’t sweet the small stuff.
Iceberg thanks for the audio feeds explanation. Ill gives it a try.
Have a nice day everyone.

The Viewsat receiver should have (if I remember right) one of the color buttons is language. I haven't worked with a Viewsat in a couple years so hopefully someone with a VS can chime in on how to select only one side of audio

Just tried your suggestion Iceberg and it worked. Used left side only. Very cool! Had no idea. There is a separate audio button on the remote.
Thanks for all the help. And thanks turbo

cool. Glad it worked out. Now **most** receivers will hold that properly even if you leave the channels. I have an old receiver that seems to "reset" to both sides when I change channels

Yeah that dual audio thing can get very annoying

As much as I would hate to bump an older thread I have a relevant question and this is still open so here it goes. I have been able to blind scan in ABC News Now on the 89w satellite but I can't get it to come in at all. I even put in my better LNB that is more sensitive than my quad lnb. I consistently get the Hearst DC and BYU channels along with several random news feeds. ABC News Now always shows up in the scan but it never comes in. Is it a different kind of signal? Why do some channels come in off the satellite but other ones are weaker? shouldn't they all have the same power?

I've had problems with that ABC NewsNow channel on certain receivers, they just plain wouldn't display the video properly, play a few seconds, halt, freeze, play a little more even though it was a strong signal. I noticed this on a traxis 3500, and another receiver or two I have. There is an explanation, but I don't know what it is, probably the type of encoder they are using. I don't watch it anyway so it isn't a problem for me. All receivers have their glitches, seems to me, some of the ones I have just won't display some channels, certain combinations of frequency & symbol rate seem to perplex them.
