    Is PRESS TV GONE ON 97w??? Can someone please check because I dont get it anymore..

    That must be "Red Ken" former mayor of London? I am happy to report that Press TV is still on air here a week after it was "banned". An economic embargo against Iran is one thing but banning their TV channel is too much. It reminds me of the way the Soviets carried on jamming shortwave...

    I think I am right when I say that Galaxy 97 is owned by a company in Luxembourg. Could the signal be uplinked in Europe and beamed to North America? (legally, I mean)

    All that legal and governmental effort and the very channel turns up a day later on the same satellite! Wonders never cease.

    Mounting 2nd lnb for 103.0W ?

    Hmm, that's good to know... Maybe I will add an LNB to my setup too. It doesn't cost much. Thanks.

    Mounting 2nd lnb for 103.0W ?

    Is It Worth It? How much difference can it really make to turn the LNB by 26 degrees? The cosine of thirty degrees is 87% so we are talking about a loss of signal of only 11 or 12% without turning the LNB. Most of the Ku signals on that bird are pretty weak anyway. :confused:

    Cool tv

    One time I surfed by Cool TV and they were showing the Rolling Stones performing "She's so Cold". It made my day!

    FSTV @ 123w still up?

    Eleven days ago it was strong. Last night when I checked it was dead.

    What can I be doing wrong?

    I had problems with my setup for years because I overtightened. It bent the bracket of my sg2100 motor out of shape so then the dish wasn't following the arc even though the pole was plumb. I fixed it with shims.

    Ya, it's strong here today, too. Thom Hartman (who I know from RT) is on. I like him.

    I'm not getting it here in Toronto. Micro HD with a 1m dish. I need better aiming or a bigger dish.

    United Passengers Revolt After Being Stranded for 3 Days in China

    That's what happens when we let the government run things. If we just leave it up to the private sector these kind of inefficiencies won't happen.
