    105W Sanity Check

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I tried the other transponders again with no luck. I guess I need a bigger dish :(. At lest I know I am on 105W though with the 4160 transponder....

    105W Sanity Check

    I am attempting to dial my 6' dish in on the 105W slot. I believe I am there, but would like someone to see if they are getting the same transponder that I am getting. After doing a blindscan, I only get the following transponder: 4159 V 29997 S2 8PSK 3/4 Pilot Off My Ultra reports a...

    How Well Does Your Orthomode Feed Perform?

    I recently changed from a Geosatpro C2 LNB on my 6' WSI dish to a Chaparral ortho feed with dual Norsat 8115 LNBs. The improvement was very noticeable. I don't get the picture pixalization on high FEC transponders (like DW on 103W) like I did with the Geosatpro LNB and can now lock and watch...

    Radio Stations at 139W

    I was just getting the far western side of the arc set up on my dish when I scanned in 1250 radio stations at 139W. I randomly checked 20-25 of these and did not get audio on any of them. Anyone have the scoop on these?

    Outside of the Shepherd's Channel on G16 (99W), I counted 5 analog feeds yesterday (Friday) morning on that bird.

    national geographic on 91w

    Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild were both ITC up to a couple of months ago. Like FaT Air says -- if you find something ITC then enjoy it because it likely won't be around for long....

    6' Panel Dish with Feedhorn?

    pendragon -- you've peaked my interest. Tell me about your ortho set up. What LNBs, feedhorn, and switch are you using? What 6' dish do you have?

    6' Panel Dish with Feedhorn?

    I've been thinking about adding an ortho feedhorn with some good lnbs for my 6' dish as well. I've been pretty happy with my Geosat C2 LNB with this dish, but I'm thinking that the ortho setup would give me an edge with some high FEC and/or S2 signals that I currently can't get or am having a...

    Strong transponder on AMC 18 at 105W?

    johnnynobody -- what transponder is the s2 stuff on? Is it the NBC mux at 3780? This is the transponder that I have been trying to get without any luck. Are you using a 12' dish??

    Strong transponder on AMC 18 at 105W?

    Thanks for the responses so far. I know I can't view a DCII transponder, but can't I lock onto one with my DVB receiver??

    Strong transponder on AMC 18 at 105W?

    I am having a hard time locating 105W with my 6 foot c-band dish. I have most of the arc dialed in, but am having issues finding this one for some reason. Can someone recommend a strong transponder that I can use to find it? I am not set up for DCII yet, so I am using my Azboz Ultra for a...

    Commercial DCII Receivers

    I am ready to take the DCII plunge and see what is up there. I have experimented with commercial Wegener receivers for DVB and think that I want to go with a commercial reciever for DCII. Recently I had an opportunity to buy a new Mot 4500X for a reasonable price. However, I passed up on it...

    WVXF galaxy 16@ 99 w

    If you have "LEVEL" that means that your receiver is seeing the LNB. Quality shows your signal strength being received from a transponder. Since the Quality is 0% and it is "UNLOCKED", that would imply that you are not receiving anything. As TMair mentions, you may have the wrong polarity or...

    Strongest Transponsder on G-19 (97W)?

    Thanks for all your input. Unfortunately, I can't even get a hint of a signal off of this bird. I'm just going to have to "bite the bullet" and get a bigger dish!
