    Compensation for the Directv Lies?

    I was on hold for 20 minutes before finally speaking with a CSR. Then, surprise, surprise, I got disconnected and had to call back. Then I was hold another 20 minutes or so before speaking with another CSR who then transferred me to a CSR in the "Retention Department". For all of the lies and...

    Galaxy 17 - Right Now!

    Went to check out ONN just a few minutes ago and there appears to be ZERO signal. I'm in the process of scanning this bird to see if anything comes up. Not experiencing other problems with any of the other satellites.

    Music/Radio/Audio Only

    Have never been able to figure this out (and I'm not quite sure why!). Usually when I scan a bird, there are audio channels that scan in. How, using my Fortec Mercury II, do I go about listening to them?

    Now scans at 11734/H/6625 on my Mercury II receiver with much stronger signal quality. Does this change have anything to do with Galaxy 17?

    Amc 16

    Lyngsat shows this bird currently @ 98W while moving 1.1 degrees East per day. However, http://www.ses-americom.com/americom/siteSections/satellitesAndTeleports/satelliteFleet/amc16/index.php lists this satellite's location @ 118.7W. Anybody know where AMC 16 is headed and what satellite...

    Galaxy 17

    This bird was launched last week so I was wondering how long will it be until this bird is operational at 74W (temporarily replacing SBS 6) before moving to its ultimate destination at 91W (replacing G11)?

    Is this channel gone from AMC 2? Gettin' zero signal quality! Nevermind. My bad. It's on AMC 3 and still there, granted the signal quality is weak(er).

    KFTL on AMC 6

    Is anyone able to pick up this channel (supposed to be @ 11890/H/1666)? Did a scan and get zero signal on this frequency. Every other frequency I have stored on this bird is very strong.

    Fortec Mercury II - Still having a problem!

    The problem I initially discovered a few weeks ago while blind scanning still continues today! Say, for example, I blind scan and 11913/H/6625 scans in as a new frequency. Either one of two things then occurs: the frequency completely disappears from the screen or the new frequency will...

    Tp magically disappears

    What does it mean when you're doing a blind scan and a transponder pops up on the screen, but then disappears a few seconds later? I'm using my Fortec Mercury II and recently did a total reset, deleted a bunch of birds I'm never going to use and also deleted many of the inactive transponders...

    Did a blind scan on AMC5 (79W) and for some reason while it was scanning, the receiver said "moving satellite dish" and then upon completion of the scan, it moved the dish to AMC6 (72W) and to GBN, which it seemed to pick up while scanning AMC5 (79W). I'm using a Fortec Mercury II receiver...

    Quali-Tv 1080IR

    Just received the above receiver and hooked it up to my television using just regular a/v cables (red and white for audio and yellow for video), but the problem is that the picture is bouncing up and down the screen. The video format options on this receiver are 1080i, 720p, 576p and PAL. I...

    IA8 @ 89W - FTA Channels

    Did ABC News One Live & ABC News Now change frequencies? I've got no signal whatsoever and it'll take me 15 minutes to do a blind scan. All other satellites on my motorized set-up are fine.

    Anyone else getting a weak signal right now? Looks a little stormy in Ohio. Perhaps that's the issue tonight?
