    Galaxy 28 Ku problem

    I am seeing the transponder and the color bars for the Keystone transponder but it does look like that a few of those channels are scrambled. Here in southwest Ohio on a 76 cm dish I am getting 93% signal level and 67 % signal quality. I have seen the quality higher than this though.

    SCETV

    Telstar 14 is due to be replaced by the end of the 2011 year and I am sure they were looking at a increase in uplinking fees for the replacement bird. Telstar 14 has had its share of in orbit problems also so maybe a combination of the two. Streaming those programs on the internet probably looks...

    Do major earthquakes wreak havoc with dish setups?

    It moved the japaneese islands 8 feet to the east, just being off a a little bit here on earth means hundreds of miles out in space so I would say that that the dishes would need a repoint for sure. I saw where all the GPS & naval navigation positioning is now incorrect so when things settle...

    Another turbo 8psk card

    Well no one seems worried about the DCMA anymore on this site, they are permitting the 4DTV people to have open discussions about re-engineering and hacking into and downloading the software in those recievers to regain the satellite maps that are no longer being sent. I do not see where this is...

    TCM HD 132

    Ive notice audio drops on time warner cable myself so I would guess this is from TCM master feed. TCM is not going to admit to any problems, denial is much easier to say than to admit to any problems. Since they just provide the Master feeds plenty of other people to take the blame.

    Servo motor broke, great.

    Unless your a channel jumper and use the channel change button hard you should not be going through that many servo's. As a former Bud dealer my experince has shown that servo's going bad like that typically means the feed is not positioned correctly on the dish and the servo's is having to work...

    V: The Series (revisited)

    Has to cost big dollars for all the special effects and ABC/Disney is the cheapest of the cheap so it would not surprise me if they cancell it. It is up against CBS's NCIS LA which is like the #2 rated show and like everyone has said 8 episodes then a long break is not enough to keep fan intrest.

    anything Ku between 30w and 72w viewable from upper Midwest?

    freezy, you should be able to see that with that size dish, one of mine is a .76 and I get it with good signal and quality except on bad weather days.

    58 has occasional ku feeds on horz from 11500 to 11800 , 53 has a full time DVB-S feed on 11632 V and a full time DVB-S test card/feeds on 11586 H, 45 has a full time DVB-S channel on 11566 H, some part time feeds and a full time DVB-S MPEG4 feed on 11675 V, 37.5 has some occasional News/ESPN...

    USB Jtag help please

    Well watching is not hacking/changing the software, it is viewing it which as a paying subscriber I am entitled and authorized to do. I am not JTaging the reciever and downloading software then changing or adding to it. And merkin I suggest you do some reading about the DMCA and you will clearly...

    USB Jtag help please

    Well I understand that but if the reciever and software was meant to be reloaded with maps, there would be software provided by the manufacturer to do so and that has not happened. By using this third party software you are violating the copyrighted and protected software and in fact breaking...

    USB Jtag help please

    I am surprised that this thread/discussion is allowed to continue considering this site's stand on piracy and what is being discussed, it is illegal and against the law. Trying to JTag a reciever to download the software to modify it, is against the law regardless how you look at it. The...

    NBC Mux on 72w Ku.....

    Well the FCC and the justice Dept just screwed every viewer/consumer in the United States with the NBC/ Comcast sellout. The head of this ComCrap giant just said that the ideal multi-media company has just been created, but he didnt mention who this ideal company is going to benefit, but my gut...

    G15 troubles

    Its just answering commands now, and the threat is gone to the other satellites in the arc. Once they stablize the orbit and get it parked in station keeping and test the payload then they will truly know what condition the bird is in. You have to remember that they bombarded that satellite with...

    CMT...taking "Turner Time" to a whole new level

    It is done that way to keep you watching their channel and their advertisers. Lets face it someone watching the channel live does not want to switch channels and view a program that has already started on another channel.

    AMC 9

    AMC9 & AMC 16 transponders strength are pretty strong its pretty easy to blind scan the other sats transponders. Try entering them manually and see how that goes. If all the other sats come in fine then its a strength of signal issue. AMC 9 is my true south bird and I have experienced this many...

    New FTA service with 20 english channels

    It amazes me how some people on here bash and trash. I dont know if this upstart will start uplinking and if it doesnt at least they gave it a try and did their best. I see nothing that makes me belive they are anything but a small business trying to be a start up. As for the address, there are...

    PBS support

    With the change in controlling party in congress, I expect to see a lot of cuts in all areas of the goverment. I expect PBS to get their funding cut just like all other areas of goverment. PBS will have to tighten their belts and look for more funding from the business sector and the general public.

    Is AMC 4 still operational?

    AMC 4 is parked @ 67 W and they have tilted the bird a bit for more South American Coverage if you compared it against its old footprint map. I havent seen any signals but I am on the fringe of the footprint. According to documents filed by SES AMC4 was put at 67W to service some Caribbean...

    On 83W I usually average from 80 to 90%Q here in southwest ohio with a coolsat 5000. Their Ku uplink is effected by weather I do notice that when they have bad weather.

    DISH Network statement on Net Neutrality

    Well I shudder to think of a Time Warner,Comcast,Verizon or other company controlled internet, considering how they have screwed those of us C band owners. The internet should be free with no one company controlling its future or blocking/restricting access to others. The Cable giants are going...

    STS-133 Launch - NASA TV HD

    I have contacted NASA several time in the past about a Ku band feed of the NASA channels with no response. I had also contacted members of our congress about how a Ku band feed would serve all of the USA better than a C band feed. More Ku band dishes than C band now, but its typical goverment...
