Step By Step Instructions - Adventist Channels Move From AMC4 To Galaxy19

[shibby191]

They key is, if you have the dual LNB Glorystar dish you don't have to do anything to the dish itself as the channels are in effect just moving from 1 LNB to the other. I personally will do a bit of tweaking to get G19 in a bit stronger but other then that nothing needs to be done.

If you have the new receivers that update themselves then again you don't have to do anything.

If you have an older receiver then you'll need to manually add/change the channels as noted in the instructions.

And all this is why I am really glad I got my in-laws the dual LNB setup with the newer self updating receiver. Just talked with my mother in-law today and she was all worried and wasn't sure what to do. I calmed her down and said she didn't need to do anything and in fact she's already getting the 3ABN channels off the new sat. It's just that easy.

Most of her friends though have the single LNB "Hope" or Adventist dish and they are all freaking out because they have no idea how to reaim the dish and reprogram their receivers. Told them to get Glorystar in the first place but they wouldn't listen.

The only receivers that will update automatically are:
GeoSatPro DVR1100c
GeoSatPro DSR100c
GeoSatPro DSR200c

I did move the dish. So I should start all over? What about the AMC4 satellite then? That LNBF is not needed? I'm sorry, I don't understand completely.

I wish I had the glorystar, but it wasn't available when I first got 3ABN. Bummer.

Just to verify you do have this dual LNB pictured below? If you do then you did not need to move your dish.

All you needed to do was do an Automatic Search I believe that is what blind scan is called on the Fortec Lifetime Ultra..

If you can put you dish back where it was and an Automatic Search.. the following is from the manual

3.3.5. Automatic Search
Press the OK key to place a check mark
next to the satellites you wish to search.
Pressing the OK key a second time will
clear the check mark Once you have
selected the desired satellites, press the
Red key to start searching those satellites.
The satellite information shown on the
right side of your screen is for
informational purposes only and may not
be changed from this screen. If you need to change the information, press the
Green Key to enter Antenna Configuration or you may press the Yellow key to
change the TP Setup.

I am currently using the Superdish to tune in 3ABN, Hope, etc. on AMC4. Can I simply point to the new bird or must I get new equipment? If I remember correctly, AMC4 is linear signal but the Superdish works when skewed. I hope is it just a single 4-degree move like it says on 3ABN.org. If it is more, can someone help me? I am in zip 27106. Using FORTECSTAR LIFETIME ULTRA if that matters.

Thanks!

A Superdish may not work well for 3ABN on G19 the 3ABN signal on AMC-4 was a very strong signal and the G19 signal is not as strong and since the Superdish is a little small for FTA it may not work.

If I were you I would try it with the Superdish if it works great! If not you need a larger dish....

This is a good dish at a reasonable price if yours is not large enough.
