Tuesday evening there was a big flash and BOOM with no time in between meaning it was right overhead. It broke a neighbor’s tree and damaged his pickup truck half a block away. We thought we were home free until the next day when my wife told me the satellite doesn’t work. The ASC1 would not...

I’m fairly sure my ASC1 positioner was recently damaged by lightning and it will not power up. I plan to open up the box and start checking for damage. Has anyone been there and suggest what to start looking for? Any help I can get from you will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Canal 22 and Canal Once are on 113W PowerVu channels.

At my location North Alabama I am not getting any signal from 115W on my 10' dish. I'm glad to report that we are getting canal 22 and Once on a new receiver on PowerVu channels.

Yes, after looking at the footprint of Eutelsat 115W we are getting no signal at my location. The only area of the US it covers is mostly the western states including Alaska. There are other ways of getting those channels I'm sure. We'll leave that for another discussion. Thanks

I have a 10ft dish with a Chaparral co-rotor II Norsat 8115 C-band and 4106a Ku-band. They bring in the signals very well on 113w and 117w here in North Alabama. I have to add the 115W to the list on my receiver and scan it. I have been wondering what's on that bird. I will get it done by this...

I will take a closer look at the two Norsat Ku's I own. The boxes for the Norsat 4106A and 4507A both show input frequency range of 11.7-12.2 GHz which means you are right. I can always go to eBay and buy 4106c or one that will cover it. You have to understand that my wife wants "El 22" back...

This is great news. All I have to do is scan 116.8W Ku-Band and see what we get. If we can get "El 22" like my wife calls it she will be very happy. Signal strength on 116.8 C-Band is very good at my location. I'm using a Norsat 8115 for C-Band and Norsat 4106A for Ku. We should be able to get...

Good information. We'll search for new locations. Thanks

We have been receiving these three channels on Eutelsat 113.0°W since last December when I installed a new HDVR 3500. The STB still shows a programmed transponder at 3810H, 10000, but we are now getting a blank screen on all three channels. They disappeared sometime after Sunday March 18th. All...
