    Getting rid of my 1.2m Prodelin dish and stand FREE!

    I am getting rid of my 1.2 m Prodelin dish and stand. I moved and no longer have a good spot to put. Before moving, I was only using it to get Univision on C-band, but the signal was strong enough only part of the day. I doubt that there will be any FTA'r close enough (South eastern Manitoba)...

    Best way to tell my motor that he has a new boss (receiver)?

    Hi guys, I am finally going HD, from a Viewsat Utra I used for years to a microHD. Currently my Motek motor is nicely set up with the Viewsat to move to the different satellites using USALS. How do I go about connecting the microHD to the same motor without messing it up and having to climb...

    TV Azteca feed on KU G25 93 gone?

    Hi guys, Until a few days ago, I was getting the TV Azteca feed on G25 93 12000V 3648, but now I don't get any signal anymore. Is it my system or is this feed gone? Can someone please confirm? Thanks.

    FreeHD Canada now BluSky HDTV

    Hi guys, I noticed FreeHD Canada changed it's name to BluSky HDTV. Both URLs, freehdcanada.com and bluskytv.ca point to the same site. I don't know if there still will be free channels after all, according to the "What's Different" section on their site, but there will be competition at...

    FreeHD Canada news (bad news?)

    I came across this while looking for some VoIP related information on CRTC's website: Telecom Decision CRTC 2011-61 Looks like it won't be easy for FreeHD Canada to get started.

    TVAzteca's sound (or no sound)

    As you all know, the TVAzteca channels on KU by now are more like a feeds than actual channels, but right now both 13 and 7 are showing but no audio. Does anyone know if they switched to AC3, or is there just no audio at all? Thanks

    Univision on Galaxy 17 91W, low signal?

    I have my miniBud aimed at Galaxy 17 and was able to watch the CW channels and Univision. I had a stronger signal on the Univision TP than the CW one. But after being away for 2 weeks, I have 0 quality on the Univision TP, where previously I had 50%. The quality on the CW is the same as before...

    SatMex 6 or SatMex 5 with miniBud?

    With all the Spanish stuff disappearing from Ku, I am wondering if I would be able to receive the C band channels on SatMex 6 or SatMex 5 with a 1.2 miniBud in Manitoba. I also have a couple of questions about 2 Ku channels on SatMex 5. Are "Televisa mosaic" and "XEWT 12" spot beamed or...

    Can't find signal with miniBUD

    I had already given up on it because I could not get a signal on C band or Ku band with the original LNB, but gave it another try with the original LNB after I found the offset degrees of the dish on a spec sheet. I finally found a signal on Ku 97W, my true south sat. This is what I have...

    Got a 1.2M dish. Possible miniBUD. Need advise from the wise

    Hallo there, I bought a 1.2M dish for $20 cdn from a business in town which used it to receive music from Muzak, for the music on hold on the phone system. The business has since switched to a different service provider. Now I have some questions: Would this dish be considered a 1.2m...

    There goes my third motor

    Hi guys, When I started with FTA, I purchased a Skywalker DG-120A. It worked great until the temperatures dropped to -20C (-4F). I fried. Tried a second one the same winter, and that one too went on me with the cold. Now imagine when it goes down to -35C (-31F) or colder, which is common here...

    Can I get NBC on Ku band?

    Hi guys, I noticed ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX are free on Echostar 7 freq. 12253. If I had a linear/circular LNB, could I get these channel here in Canada, or are they spotbeamed? I really would like to watch the new Knight Rider. Can I get NBC somewhere else? Also, can a StarChoice receiver be...

    No audio on AMC 3 12180V SR 29270

    Hi there, I did a scan on AMC 3 12180V SR 29270 and got PBS X, V-me, Create and the Schedule channels, but the receiver scanned some 8000 number for audio on all of the channels, so I had no audio. I changed the audio according to the lyngsat guide (ftalist lists the same audio settings)...

    Need channel editor for Viewsat Ultra

    Hi there, My Coolsat 5000 was faulty from factory, and the place I bought from gave me a hard time returning it and finally offered me Viewsat Ultra because they didn't have Coolsats anymore. Unlike the Viewsat Xtreme, the Ultra works pretty good with a motor. The only problem I have is...

    Tele Restauración on SatMex 6

    Hi there, I would like to get Tele Restauración on SatMex 6. Acording to the Lyngsat guide it is TP 12125 H. I entered the TP on my Coolsat 5000 but when I try to scan it, my receiver just goes over it quickly but never gets the channel. I guess I could add it manually, but I don't have the...

    Coolsat 5000 pixelates on IA6

    First of all, I want to thank all of you guys for answering questions newbies like me post. My Coolsat 5000 pixelates every 5 secs or so on TV Azteca IA6 mostly, even with a signal quality of 91-93%. My highest signal quality of all satellites. IA5 has some of the problem too. First I thought...

    Coolsat 5000 doesn't talk to my laptop

    Hi there, First I tried a null modem cable and then found out that the CS 5000 actually needs a strait through cable to connect to a laptop, so I got one. When I click on connect on my CS Loader, all I get is the "Connect your receiver and turn it on..." message. When I click on connect...

    Can't get USALS to work on Coolsat 5000

    I am just upgrading to a Coolsat 5000 and a DMSI SG2100 motor. I have entered USALS in the motor menu and also have entered my long and lat. When I hit OK on "Go to reference" it actually goes to "0", but when I hit OK on the bottom "Go to" it doesn't move at all. I can move the motor manually...

    Standard vs. universal LNB

    Hi there, I have been trying to get Nahuel1 but no signal and therefore my receiver wont blindscan. I have a motor and put in my coordinates and it turns fine to the rest of the satellites just by entering their location, and I think it turns to this satellite aswell, but there is no signal...

    Motor just nudges

    I have a SkyWalker DG-120A motor. I looks identical to the DMSI SG-2100. It came with the same guide DMSI has on their site. I set it up and got it to work nicely. One day I turned to a satellite all the way to the east. I guess it hit the hardware limit. This shouldn't do any harm because...

    Newbi with questions

    I did a lot of reading on sites and forums and managed to intall an FTA system. I bought a Viewsat 2000 clone, and used a 30" Star Choice dish and put a dual linear LNB on it. The LNB fit into the retangular tube (arm) of the dish, so it's fixed (no skew). I had problems with G10R, maybe because...
