101 , 1.8 meters dish in the Bay Islands ! Been working flawlessly for almost 10 years. Right now I have 95+ SS on most the transponders

I am out of contract and I am definitelly fed up to pay 150+ $ a month for the all inlcusive package that I am honestly not even using. Rarely watch any movies ( I stream them ) and most the channels I use are offered with the basic package. What should I ask ?

Since a couple of months I am experiencing a strange behaviour of my setup, where I loose signal on most channels. If I go into the satellite setup I can see the signal meter going from 95% to 0 , back to 95% and so on. This is happening on both my 2 receivers hooked up with 2 separate cables to...

Thanks, great source of informations. P_

Can someone tell me on which transponder are the local NY channels located ( the networks ) and if they have been recently moved to a new one ? Pakal

Yes, I am in Honduras ( bay islands ) and I already have my sistem up and running with a standard receiver and a 1.80 mt dish pointed at 101. I was only asking if my current setup (1.80dish and standard lnb) is compatible with an hd receiver.

I'd like to use an HD receiver (let's say an H20 ) to my 1.80 meter dish pointed to sat 101 and currently paired with a standard receiver. The purpose is not for HD channels viewing but to use a Logitec Revue connected to the receiver. My question is : will I be able to see my current channel...

I am having problems of reception on the satellite 101 transponder 31. I only get 49/50 signal strenght on that specific tp , while I have and average of 90-93 on most the other tranponders. I am using an Eagle Aspen dtv 32+ LNB. Is there a better LNB that will allow me to gain a 10-15% signal ...

Hi there, I've recently switched from E* to D*. I am planning to add an additional receiver in a bedroom but I do not have the phone line in it. In my old E* setup I had one dual tuner receiver , so one receiver would serve two rooms. I just ordered my second receiver with D*, but I am worried...

Will I be able to use a 322 receiver just for the purpose of checking if I get signal ? And what would the azimuth and elevation be from the following location : 16.26 - 86.6 Pakal

Please do not flame me if my questions is stupid. Assuming you got signal , can U get dishnetwork programming with your regular receiver from Nimiq 5 72.7 W ? Pakal (a sore expat living in the Bay Islands)

Hmmm, RVD420 you are absolutely right ! These are spotbeams and they are used for the local channels. I highly doubt that they are pointed to where I live now ( Honduras) . I guess I'll just have to forget about the local channels. Pakal

Hi there, I've a 1.8 mt dish with a legacy dual LNBF pointed to satellite 119. I have a strong singnal ( 70-80) on most the tranponder but got NO signal on transponder 1/3/5/7/9 . Can anyone suggest me a solution for it ? Pakal
