FaT Air: Saw the picture... Wow, how creative! Regarding my equipment, I've got one of those 6ft solid Fortec Star dishes and an LNBF with the following specs: I guess that I need a better LNBF, too. Thanks for all the feedback!

Greetings! I have a 6ft satellite dish with a dual band LNB and I can't figure out why I still can't get all FTA on Ku-Band. I receive most frequencies (some very strong) but some come in very weak. Having a 6ft dish you would think thats big enough for all of Ku reception. Am I wrong? What...

I'm not sure when it officially started but I see it being aired sometime in the late morning or afternoon. Next time I see it on I will provide the exact time.

WHT on G16 airs Green Acres during the week so put your two week notice in now :D

Audio on MeTV1 just appeared as of 10:41PM ET. I think that my previous post had something to do with it :D

No audio on MeTV1 over here, just a test tone for now.

Anyone out there having any luck locking in Canal Info News on Intelsat 14, 45 deg west (11675-V-1240). I've got an AZBox Elite and getting over 50% but can't get this one to come in. I manually added in the PIDs but can't get a picture. Its in DVB MPEG4 format, not sure if thats the problem.

Hello Forum Friends! Just wondering how people are blind scanning out there. I have an AZBox Elite but use a Fortec Star Platinum for blind scanning. Normally when I blind scan I use either 4 or 6 increments but its taking tooooo long to get through the process. A typical scan takes up to...

Tron, You got it right. Its the fortec 6 footer with LNB sold by Sadoun. I've attached the specs of the LNBF on the first post. Looks like I'll need to invest in a seperate Ku-Band LNBF as you mentioned. Its gonna be a pain in the neck switching from C-band to Ku-band LNBF, something I'll...

Yes

BTW, shouldn't a 6 footer be picking the NBC mux on AMC 1 Ku? I'm on a mission to get this to work, no matter what it takes!!!:rant:

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to try harder. Once this format becomes mainstream I guess it'll be more difficult to catch C-band reception.

WOW! An 8-footer even for Ku band?

Greetings! Anyone able to provide me with some tips on how to receive DVB-S2 8PSK signals via a 6ft satellite dish? I am using an AZBox Elite with a C/Ku band LNB (see attached for specs) and I still do not have any luck receiving DVB-S2 8PSK signals, even on Ku band. I recall a post a few...

Happy Holidays everyone! Thats to all on this board who helped me this year with this hobby I got into this year! I look forward to communicating with all again in 2010!

Any luck with tuning into RTV? I've been trying to get this one for two months not with not success. 66% quality on the two data channels, I've twisted and turned the LNB in so many directions and I even took a TV out and hooked up the LNB directly to the receiver. The highest I was able to...

I have a regular DVB box and a one of those sonic boxes from ebay, should that do?

Anyone know what type of equipment it takes to pick up the residential DMX music channels at 91 degrees? From what I understand the 41 channels are FTA. I have a Fortecstar Platinum NA and can't seem to tune in. The audio sounds distorted.

Just found an affiliate version of RTV on 91.0°W 4092 H 2170 so I guess I can watch that one instead.

I'm using the GeoSat CK1 C/KU Band LNBF, bought from Sadoun, GeaoSat Pro C KU Band Prime Focus LNBF . I did try turning the LNB a little and happy to report that I now have 13%, LOL. Not enough to lock though. Perhaps the LNB is not aligned properly, I'll check that next. Also, my LNB...

I'm using a Fortec Star Platinum NA receiver with a 6ft dish and get the following readings on 83 deg from Southeastern PA: TP 3 11775 V 4234 Q40/46% TP 22 12140 V 30000 Q53/60% TP 23 12160 V 30000 Q53/60% sadly..... TP 11735 H 4444 Q0% I'm thinking that TP 3 is so strong that its knocking...

Well.... I punched in your suggested transponder to locate 83W, 12140 V 30000 which is a data transponder and I got a solid 46%. When I entered the coordinates for RTV ( 11735 H 4440), nothing. Perhaps I need to adjust the LNB. This is the only channel I'm not receiving, getting everything...

I believe that RTV is down due to bad storms. Anyone know if the feed through local affiliates are down too?

I've got a 6ft Fortec Star dish and I'm unable to pick up RTV for the life of me. I'm getting the NBC News Channel at 60% but still no RTV, what could possibly be wrong?

Well if you see something wrapped 12ft in diameter under the xmas tree then you should know what you're getting :-D
