Thread: Your Immediate Action Needed to Retain FTA Broadcaster

I am ready for both of these items! I have a couple of friends, whose systems I have set up, that will want to trade in the Mercury II for the new models of receivers -- I hope they will be very willing to pay to upgrade.

Example: In the Advanced Mode, customers currently can update the firmware without erasing the channel list. We don't advise this due to the possibility that the satellite / transponder list might be modified and the channel list data would no longer be valid.



GEOSATpro receivers currently have the ability to manage multiple channel lists and auto-updates for multiple distribution groups and support multiple satellite positions. The firmware provides inclusive or exclusive channel list updating, permits EPG updating from single or multiple data streams or standard type on individual transponders. Of particular interest to broadcasters are the multiple virtual channels (JPEG or MPEG) for program promotion or advertising. These virtual channels do not require a full time transponder and are served from the internal memory loaded during the OTA-SSU downloads.

Thanks Brian I filled it out

Good Catch....LOL!!! Not a Freudian Slip!!!

It's up. Still labeled Gospel Music TV though. They switched carriers and still didn't bother to change their name? Weird.

RR Sat has been turning their C-Band signal so I think the guys in Israel just mapped over the existing name.

Still in test mode, but the PQ is the best that I have ever seen for their service!

The FFE test on Galaxy19 is now completed and the channel placement on 12060 is now official. The Picture Quality is better than we have ever seen with their KU service. Any positive comments emailed to FFE regarding the return of their channel and the PQ would be well received!

If any viewer needs programming assistance with any of original receivers without the automatic update feature, step by step scanning and channel deletion instructions are available on the Glorystar website

Thank you everyone for contacting FFE. I understand that FFE was swamped with hundreds of calls and even more emails! There is no doubt in my mind that the SatelliteGuys emails and calls were a major influence in FFE's decision to stay on KU-Band! Congratulations on a job well done!
