My first FTA setup was in Sep 2005. SatelliteGuys helped me a lot to set up my 76CM dish with Traxis 1500 receiver. What a fun it was :)

Akash, May I know which channels are you interested in. I started FTA hobby for this sat and I came a long way from there. That time many Indian channels on this sat was FTA. But now they are encrypted. I say, if the channels you like are there or not, go for it. You will love FTA. And this...

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

Welcome to the forum. Not very clear on your questions... 1) How did you search for channels? did you use DVBViewer Channel Scan function? 2)Is the scanned channel appearing in DVBViewer Channel list? 3)If you need info on Channel Scan window to fill up LO, Frequency details, you will have to...

Chinmay, With single Ku band dish, it is impossible to get both the sats, that is separated by 19.5deg. If the Dish is big enough, you can try catching 94.5 and 98.5. With DD Direct+ dish, I don't think it is possible either. If you are little adventurous, you may try poor-mans-htoh. With...

In India, still majority of the FTA channels are still in C-band and I have seen many C-Band dishes with more than 2 Ku band LNBs and 1 to 2 C-Band attached. Since Chinmay has not specified his dish size, I guess he might be talking about a 8' dish with above arrangement. I haven't seen any...

OK, missing my old SG2100 now and missing the comment from wife "You always keep scanning.. don't watch anything on tv :)"

I like them for clean looking connections and better stength

I tried TS Reader and Transedit Analyzer as well. They tune the Audio PIDs correctly. Also, DVBViewer TE Version was able to tune properly. I added the APIDs (for English Audio) in Channel Editor and changed Audio to AC3 and was able to get the sound. I guess there is some problem while...

Thanks a lot gillham. I will try it after some time. I am watching a movie now on HTPC and do not want to disturb the family now..

Either scanning through Transedit or from DVBViewer does not tune APIDs. APIDs appear as 0 in all the channels except PBS Montana channel. I added APIDs in Channel editor and it does not help at all. Any help is appreciated. This happens with one of ATSC channel aswell.

Krishn, Welcome to Satelliteguys! First thing you have to check is, if you are getting any signal from your LNB. I guess you are using the dish from DDDirect, DishTV or TATA Sky or another provider. Were you getting proper signal on your STB? Also, in DVBViewer Pro- Go to Options- hardware and...

I was introduced to FTA when I was young and there were no option to get over the air transmission in my village. DTH was not even there at that time...

Missing a lot after I lost the motor I had.. so I need new one :)

I was checking that receiver last week and it is a Linux HTPC. You may find it hard during install, unless yo have another stand alone receiver. just my 2c.

I am having the same issue here in San Jose, CA. Able to lock but not stable enough most of the time.

OK. Thanks! So it sounds like there is CC transmitted. I will check that. Thought of trying it out. Got lazy in pulling out the cable from the storage :D

I would like to know of any channels in 123W transmit CC. I am not getting any CC on my Coolsat 5000 connected to Samsung LCD through component video cables.

I used a camcorder, long firewire cable and laptop. It worked well as I did not have to move my TV, that was facing away from my balcony.

Kworld does QAM only with Total Media software that comes with. I found it not really useful. However OP is asking for a stand alone box. I may sound like thread crapping here :D

If it is a south asian channel, that is not and never will be :(

PBS in AMC21 :) Even SD channels looks like HD on my Samsung 46 LCD.

Good point. Hope, it is improved version now.

I have watched few Blu-Ray / HDDVD movies on my HTPC with E4300 processor and Nvidia 8500GT video card, on my 46" 1080P LCD, in the last month after I git new TV. I did not see any chopping so far. I don't have line of sight to 87W now since I moved to new apt. Earlier on 720P TV I used to...

If no channel is listed under Channels tab, you have to scan and add channels. Use transedit (available in the same location where you download the DVBViewer.), which will give you better results. Else, to start with, you can right click on the screen (with DVBViewer open) and select scan and...
