Tip for June 26
If you are having issues with a FTA channel, DO NOT E-mail/Call the company. This is how items get scrambled

There are a few exceptions to this. If the company posts the satellite coordinates on their website (like some ethnic channels and religious). But remember, we are not the companies intended targets for channels/backhauls. If you see a phone number on a backhaul, DO NOT call it. This is how stuff gets scrambled

On the right hand side of Lyngsat, there will be a beam. It may say North America, Europe, etc. Make sure it beams to the US
