Channels?

[LoTech]

Lyngsat is showing the following two channels on 119W itc.

NASA Public Channel @ 12341R/20000-7/8
Angel One @ 12516R/20000-7/8

Is anyone getting these?

That is NASA on Dish Network, went scrambled this time a year ago. Poor ol Lyngsat, but they are useful at times, just terribly out of date.

 

[Mr Tony]

both have been scrambled for over a year.

Only freebie on 119 is Dish 101

 

[freezy]

don't forget the "you're a pirate" channel

 

[Mr Tony]

Thats scrambled too

 

[Tron]

Pirate TV should have always been scrambled, since it preached that if you were viewing the channel, you were using an illegally modified receiver. It was always worth a laugh or two ...

 

[Mr Tony]

the 1st time they upgraded it was scrambled but when they went from the yellow to purple card they forgot to scramble that channel so sadly newbies came here asking about it because they thought they were stealing when they werent

I noticed on Lyngsat the other day, they list NASA and Angel One, on 72.7W (Nimiq5)@ 12516R and 12486R, respectively. They also list CCTV (China) on 12224R as well, supposedly ALL in the clear!! El_Viejo.

 

[Mr Tony]

But they are in a format that 99% of the equipment out there cant get (Turbo 8PSK)

 

[freezy]

would an HD Dish box that had no sub pick that up?

 

[Diamond Jim]

If you have C Band there are NASA channels at:

AMC 3
4000
28111
Horizontial
4:2:0

4 SD Channels, 1 scrambled and 1 HD channel

I have missed Nasa TV since they encrypted it.

Does anyone happen to know if the pc card tuners are capable of turbo 8PSK - I have a prof 7301, I don't see turbo 8PSK in the spec's but I am a bit fuzzy on what is done on the board and what is done by the computer.

 

[Mr Tony]

would an HD Dish box that had no sub pick that up?

it has to be one of the newer boxes that can handle MPEG4

 

[freezy]

can you stream NASA?
that would be a yes

Our dang taxes pay for that signal, it should always be free

 

[Mr Tony]

Our dang taxes pay for that signal, it should always be free

it is. You just need a C-Band dish

The NASA HD channel (which is now full time, but was at one time just an occasional feed) is the reason why I put up a 6 footer for C-Band over a year ago. At that time, NASA was still unencrypted on Dish, but when I saw the quality difference of the source video, I was astounded. The direct feed from NASA puts the DN re-uplink to shame.

Since NASA moved from AMC-6 to AMC-3, there are so many useful channels on AMC-3 that it is a prime satellite for a fixed dish.

I agree

MeTV
ThisTV
NASA
@Sports
RTV (if have the correct receiver that can handle it)

come on up and help me get my c-band going. I need a control box and about 800ft of twin-coax/control so I can watch my ISS coverage.

good lord...what ya in a forest?
