Chadg2, the Patient Channel and JQRS services are on AMC 3 Ku at 87 degrees west. AMC 16 normally has only one channel - Echo barker channel 12195 H 3978- that is always up on 85 W, except that when hi def sports feeds in the range of 12180-12200 are up, you will not find this channel. AMC 16...

Catamount hello, I just wanted to say I've been watching Cubana recently using AZ Ultra or Twinhan PCI card, and they show American movies with Sp. subtitles, and lately episodes of Have Gun Will Travel, etc. Trouble is, though, the audio is not in sync with the picture! Hope you can receive...

Panavision, I recall back in 1986-87 I had a Drake receiver, 10 ft. chickenwire fiberglass dish and cheap lnb. One of the Telstar sats (T1?) carried telephone calls. You could hear only one side of the conversation. I had bought a book by Mr. Cooper that described how to tune those transmissions.

Bongu, do you have the 16K memory expansion module?

Wanted to weigh in on the merits of the Primestar 84e lnb as to efficiency, etc. Now I know Iceberg, for whom I have the utmost respect, and who has given me very helpful information on many occasions, has found the Dove bar lnb rated at 0.9 db to be as good or better than most "bullet" lnbfs...

Hi Upnatm LPBS 12072 H FEC 3/5 SR 12473 OETA 12112 v 3/4 8700 Mont 12106 V 3/4 2400. All are mpeg4 dvb s-2 8psk pilot off on AZbox. LPBS is the weakest. Not sure, but you might be far enough north to be out of LPBS "footprint"? Try AUTO FEC scan for LPBS first, then...

Thanks very much Anole and Ice. Thought maybe the lnb shown in pic might be a keeper. Yes it is a dual out H and V model Ice and has a very cool elliptical scaler. Thought maybe I would just use the V f connector out and point at 125 where I think all tps are V [have to check Lyngsat]. Anole...

Picked up a Primestar 40" x 30" at a garage sale yesterday for 3 bucks. Think I will mount the post this week, then wait about 2 weeks for PBS pledge drives to end before adding the dish. Would the lnb that came with it perform as well as a 0.3 noise bullet lnbf? Cheers!

upnatm, I cannot get any of the dvb s2 signals on a 76 cm Winegard dish with 0.3 lnbf, altho the dvb-s channels (sd and hd) come in fine here in WV (about 70 mi S of Pittsburgh). Hope you can get LPBS or at least Montana, which is stronger. Rain fade will be a big problem as will cloudy or...

1. Retrieve dish from trash. This is a 25"x20" dish. 2. Throw away dss lnbf unit [very heavy; mine was already dis-attached]. 3. Clamp dish support arm down onto platform or secure to side of your house, etc. 4. Make an extension sleeve for arm holding the lnbf bracket. 5. Make bracket for...

Thanks HD Fan, but I don't know how far to slide the plastic cowling down the arm and there is a range of several inches from front to back on the arm that the lnbf with plastic can be adjusted for. Would still like to know proper focal distance if someone has tried fta with this dish...

HI, Just got a Turbo HD dish --25 inches x 20 inches, and looking to watch History and Bio on the 101 W. Can someone please give the focal length for this dish? I mean the distance from front edge of lnbf to center of dish. Thanks guys! (The plastic extender housing with Dish triple lnbf unit...

As requested by the ever-helpful Anole, here are images of my 2.4 m Ku dish (and more). Just replaced my lost USB dig. camera cable, hence the delay. The dish had heating elements for snow melting, but they never worked. I salvaged the beast from a boneyard where it had been for some years...

Anole, sorry cannot send pic as I lost the usb camera to PC cable. The dish is fiberglass and has heating elements inside it (117 volts) but they don't work anymore. I put mini Christmas lights around the perimeter in season. Have posted pics of this dish before here. Cheers!

Hey, gang, an update to this thread-- it works! Just ran a cheap RCA coax cable to the RCA HT box (2360DT model) and set it to dig coax dolby (or similar) and now have 3 speakers playing the Ac3. I had to delay working on this due to minor flooding after huge downpour of rain. (I know, I don't...

Thanks to all responders to my questions. My STB does have the RCA out plug SPDIF and the home theater unit has RCA coaxial digital plug. I'm almost sure I'll be getting AC3 sound from PBS now, just going to use regular coax cable. Moved my 2.4 m offset dish forward of tree and foliage Tuesday...

Aha! Well many thanks for the help rv1pop and Ice! Cheerio!

Hi all, Bought an RCA home theater system at a garage sale last week. It can process dolby digital & dts audio. Downloaded the manual so I can configure it. My question is: do I need a special cable to hook up from the Fortec to the digital coaxial RCA-type connector on the HT unit (it says...

Thanks FaT Air!

Hi gang, I would like to know if you can tune stations like STO SD, France24, etc. on Galaxy 23 C using a 10 ft. prime focus dish and an older Chapparal combo feedhorn and Hemt (20 degrees) C band lnb with a polorotor attached? The dish is mesh and I would hook up to either a Fortec Star or...

I guess the signal meter screen (a grid with 2 lines for strength and quality) and numbers is OK if you take a tv set out to the dish while you are tuning, peaking; but the Buzz does not beep faster as you approach good lock -- whereas my Fortec Star does; and it has a large triangular shaped...

Ice, no, the cable was rs232, I just unplugged it. Turbosat, the audio beep option is for when you press buttons on the remote.(At least on my hacked version). Thank you guys and BrentB and Tron as well for your help.

Went to a yard sale yesterday and bought a Buzz 2010f receiver for 5 bucks. Had never heard of this brand, but what the hey, the box said Blind Scan. Sooo... got home and found that there was a computer cable attached to the box. Hmmmn.... Anyway, upon startup the screen showed a list of over...

Picked up a sturdy 2 1/2 inch post with large chunk of concrete attached( from my neighbor), and mounted my 76 cm dish on it last week. Getting better ;)results with this traditional support as I "plumbed" it. My old mount was a curved Dish-type support which I think was not properly aligned...

eurosport, very sorry to take so long to respond, have had a lot on my plate lately. You are certainly welcome to the 625 (with the fan as well) at no charge. If you could reply to me in this thread as to how PM works, I am sure we can work out shipping, etc. As a matter of fact, there is a...
