    Classical Music and Beach Feed

    Just wanted to let people know that since there is a classical music radio feed on the same transponder as the beech feed on 103W Ku, you can edit the beech feed and enter the APID of the classical music feed (5417) so you can watch the beach and listen to classical music at the same time...

    MeTV is Becoming RTV

    I watch the Ku RTV feed on 83W and there is definitely not a sync issue for the sound. If you are seeing 3 seconds (even 1 second) of delay, then the issue is on your end.

    Return to FTA - with Atlantic Q's

    I think there's enough East of 89W on KU to make things interesting. H2 (74W) has feeds. Then there's also RTV and the NBC Mux. Certainly better than nothing.

    RTV Program Changes Start Tomorrow.

    Looks like my daytime/weekday viewing will change. Maybe I'll get more done. I'm happy to see Airwolf, Knight Rider and A-Team are gone, but I was a pretty regular watcher of Rockford, Dragnet, Magnum P.I. and the Hulk which are now gone. Also sad to see Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica...

    91W Eclipse of the Sun

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I found it interesting. I was watching 91W, everything is great. Then the signal starts to fade, and I lose lock. I look outside, no wind... I check Arts NTSC, it's still there, but getting worse. I try adjusting the satellite a bit west, then...

    Help With Anik F2 at 111.1W

    I'm trying to aim a CBand dish. I'm at -111.04W, so I figured I should use Anik F2 to aim the bud (on a polar mount). I can get signals from 107.3 and 113W but 111W seems to be dead? Is anyone able to get any MPEG transponders from it? I've been looking for 3865H5000 but had no luck. If...

    G19 Abu Dhabi Sport

    It's common all over the world to have soccer matches to mostly empty stadiums. I wouldn't call them vanity projects for oil billionaires; usually the teams are supported by local businesses and communities. If they _were_ vanity projects owned by billionaires, they'd be more successful... New...

    Polarotor Servo Controller Design

    There's more than one way to do it, but here are the steps I would take if I was new at this... (1) Buy an Arduino... I'd get either the RBBB or the BBB from Welcome | Modern Device. RBBB and BBB are two different versions of the Arduino; either will work well. ModernDevice is a great...

    Master Feed vs. Dish Network Shootout

    I'm completely with you on that. I gave up Sirius because the quality of audio was so bad. Sure, some channels were listenable (maybe even slightly better than that), but the less-popular niche channels (and isn't that the whole reason to have it?) sounded dreadful.

    Prefered Diseqc switch

    I just got some inexpensive Cheita switches (based on recommendations from a similar thread a few weeks ago). Turns out they're clones. They're working better than what I had. ... so far. I suppose I can live with it... I think what I've learned is that I should always have spares at the ready.

    Dish Opinions

    No pictures. How can you tell an H-H mount? I definitely have room... I'll have to figure out manpower. So it sounds like should go for the patriot or the paraclipse (I'm not sure I'll be able to low-ball on any of them, but it's worth a try). I doubt I'll be able to get more than one, so I...

    Dish Opinions

    Are any of these dishes ones I shouldn't pass on? I don't really need another large dish, but if any of these are great in any way, then I might go after one of them... SA Dual Beam 4.6m SA 3.4m Patriot 3.7m Paraclipse 3.4m That's all the info I have. Thanks.

    New FTA service with 20 english channels

    I think the idea is that if advertisers can get space for free, and then see a value, they might turn into paying customers. Also, cartoons will surely just help other potential advertisers not take it seriously as a viable advertising space. If we want it to be free, someone has to pay for...

    Dual LNBF Troubleshooting Help Needed

    I have a dual-ouput Cband LNBF that is connected to two diseqc switches. One switch goes to a Coolsat 4000, and the other switch goes to an AZBox. No multiswitch. When either box is switched to use the LNBF by itself, it works fine. When both receivers are connected to the LNBF at the same...

    Diseqc Switch Quality

    Right, but are you familiar with Ultimate Sat Hobby? I can find the switch for sale, but I want to make sure it's not a clone. Their price seems "too good to be true" ?? Or maybe not. That's why I asked for recommendations.

    Diseqc Switch Quality

    Can anyone recommend a place that sells the chieta 4x1? I've been reading that there are a lot of clones out there. I'd like to make sure I get the real deal. Thanks

    New Music service?

    CoolTV on an OTA channel (Here in Tucson [hey greg!]) with 4 channels looks pretty bad. I don't think their source material is very high-quality. Hey it's one more free thing to watch, so I don't complain.
