    An Apology to the FTA Community

    Could have not said it better in spanish, very well put !! Reason why I have NEVER mentioned channels we all enjoy in this "our hobby" by name... and yes, I do get few channels over the Atlantic that are not listed anywhere ( mostly S. America channels ).... check 45w :). Happy Halloween...

    Teletica @ 43 is Not No More?

    inline amplifier Jim. Have you tried to connect an inline amplifier between the lnb and the stb?, it will greatly improve your signal / quality, be aware that you will lose either band C or KU when you do that, I have it connected very close to the stb so it only take but few seconds to...

    Teletica @ 43 is Not No More?

    Spent quite a bit of time looking for Telestar 12 @ 15º I get that bird with no problem at all ( as you should if your LOS is good ). My arc goes from 15 to 137 ( tried 12 but only once was successful to catch something ), strong tp's at 15 11806V , 11964H and 12173H. You can also try 22 is...

    It's gone now John. No luck here tonight, it seems the tp you're looking for its gone now. I did a scan on the bird again but didn't get to lock anything else either. Good luck.

    Soccer world cup games this friday

    Lets all enjoy the sport . just that if you have the option to listen to a broadcast from another spanish speaking country like argentina , mexico , spain just to name a few , then in my opinion those commentators are better. This young cuban guys have improved over the years but in the same...

    hispasat signal mpeg-4

    I can get the uruguayan mux here in Michigan Hi Manny. I have an azbox elite and I can get all the mux from Uruguay up here, I guess it all depends where you're located and what size dish you have, 10 ft. will do the job for you. Good luck. Granadaguy.

    Zero Quality Signal--Have tried everything I can

    Hope this can help you. Where am I going wrong? How can the signal meter indicate a signal and yet I still get zero quality on all satellites? Shouldn't some satellite have some quality, given what the signal meter is telling me? Thank you " Why you have signal but not quality "...

    FTA in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

    rca cables from azbox to 5.1 Hola Carlos. If you have a 5.1 tuner it will decode the audio for you, the tuner must be in surround sound option, granted you must have a SAB that will receive AC3 audio ( aka azbox elite or alike ). Good luck. Granadaguy.

    FTA in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

    Not necessarily true. QUOTE=tonydix;2150135]To get AC3 audio on 125 you need :- New Sonic Voom surround sound headphone MP3 MP4 ZUNE on ebay. My 5.1 decodes the AC3 audio with regular rca cable connectors, I don't have any headphone connected to it.

    Amazonas 1 @ 61W Ku Band

    It's a FUN hobby to have. All in all we can't deny the fact that the amazonas satellite is hunted mostly to steal signals, right? LOL i don't know why you get so agitated with my statement John, cheer up man, lighten up. Mike I am not an expert when it comes to this hobby and will never be...

    Amazonas 1 @ 61W Ku Band

    C band shouldn't be a problem for you. John. I get 4 or 5 C band feeds on this bird and I live 1500 miles north of you ( or there abouts ), am sure you'll get very strong signal down in Mexico. Nothing on ku though. Good luck and enjoy portuguese. Granadaguy.

    UTR up on Intelsat 3R ?

    No luck here I have tried to lock in that TP many times but never had any luck with it, I dont think is running, I have a couple of tp's locked in on that bird but it's C band. If you can get it ?, I am sure Ice or other member in here with more knowledge than me can answer your question.

    Setanta Sports to shut off March 1st

    I have not seen much advertasing what stations will air the world cup matches as of yet, still 4 months away give or take few weeks, but I'm sure Satmex 5 or 6 will have stations showing the games... If not...we'll just have find them, that's the joy of having the equipment we all have in this...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    Linear compared to circular Hi Rich. Thank you for putting some "light" on this linear, circular lnb stuff, now I understand a little bit better why I'm not able to get some of the signals as I just have a standard linear c/ku lnb. Both of those birds 22w & 40w have circular polarity on all...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    Never thought of it Mel. Thanks for the tip ( did not know that ), I just go by what the box tells me and it's being a couple of months since I did some hunting. And YES I do agree with you not to mention any new channels on the OPEN.... give me "numbers" It'll be up to the person to hunt...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    22w Rich, I don't have a problem locking in 22w and watch the channels you'd mentioned ( few of Bolivia and I think from Brazil - I can't lock in CNN though ), I reach all the way to 15w without a problem, I have a standard C/KU LNB ......let me ask you if I replace my standard C/KU LNB...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    The channels I found are C band, 4151 V 3280 ( looking at it right now, the audio is messed up though, i get a radio signal at the same time ), the other channels I was able to lock in are all scramble, I have a 10 ft. dish. Yes, it's tvvi.... I prefer not to give stations names, that way...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    I did a little scanning over the weekend and found 2 channels never seen before. At 24w- TP 4193 V 5179 got it 24/7 solid. ( mostly in french ). At 30w- TP 12052 V 27502 ( it's in the same TP as TVE ). I did find a couple of more at 40w, but didn't write down the info. Maybe next weekend if I...

    Your assistance is requested for sat 43W

    5 or 6 channels on that bird Radar. I live in Michigan and I pick up at least 5 or 6 channels on that bird, it is a "weak" satellite, I have a 10 ft. dish, maybe that's the reason why I'm able to pick up the video.... for those who have problems with weak signal, connect an inline amplifier...

    Azteca 93.1 on Dish 500 - Sucess! (pics)

    inline amplifier and your problem will be solved I'm a soccer fan as well and was having the same problem with that signal, get yourself a inline amplifier (easy to find it at R.S. ) connect it to your coax cable before it goes in the box and you'll be all set, you'll be watching all the...
