    SES3 103W

    That's the one I'm using. It seems to need MSVCP100 and MSVCR100 which I believe it part of MS Visual C++. Both my 10 and 11 laptops have multiple redistributables installed. I may need to go to an older 2010 version.

    SES3 103W

    Not having much luck. I did a manual TP scan on 11704 and all the K-love channels showed up. 👍 The 3 previous channels were Microspace61, MS81 and Wral FM on 12000. AFR on 11710 has fluctuating quality between 50 and 60, none scan in so I may be out of the footprint. Mood Music... I tried your...

    SES3 103W

    Thanks for the reply. I had my doubts on 103, and what you said about 12080 makes sense. I'll do some more tweaking tomorrow. I'm definitely on 101 as I have all the normal TV feeds like newsnation, NHK and the Microspace promo. My STB is a GTMedia V7S2X (SG2100 motor) that I've had for...

    SES3 103W

    Been out of the loop for a while and I recently realigned my dish and did a factory reset on my STB. Been trying to lock into what I believe is SES 3 this afternoon, but all I get are pay stations when blind scanning. I set the transponder for NTA (12080 H) and see a good quality signal, but...

    Inexpensive HD receiver from Amazon

    I've had a similar GT Media for several years. No issues, gets along fine with my SG2100 and receives everything. I feel that I got plenty for what I paid. What am I not supposed to like about it...other than it's not a boy scout/Dudley Do-Right approved model?

    OTHER FTA newb trying to set up a GT Media V7 pro need help

    I have the V7 2SX which is probably the same. I think Galaxy 19 for North America was the only preprogrammed bird and the rest were Eastern. With the way things change, anything preprogrammed is a waste anyways. You need to go into the setup menu and select Add (I think it's the red button)...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    Ok, so this is what I'm currently finding on 125: 11841 H 12048 H 12005 V 12180 V I opened a new slot and did a fresh blind scan to rule out previous saved locations. I thought maybe it was a problem with receiving 8PSK, but NBC feeds like Cozi work fine and Lyngsat shows that as 8PSK. I'm...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    I'll have to check tomorrow to see what they were. I had the stb at the dish in the backyard earlier and haven't hooked it back up in the house yet. I'm in NW Indiana (near Chicago) and Montana has always been a bit sketchy, but the other channels were always solid. 123W is coming in without...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    A few months back I lost all the PBS feeds on 125W. It's been ages since I realigned my dish and finally got around to it today. I have everything adjusted nicely on USALS from 87 to 123, but I still can't get anything on 125, even with manual tweaking. Since Galaxy 18 is working fine, I...

    What is the cheapest FTA DBS-2 reciever you can get?

    I bought my X2 Premium Mini off Amazon for $35 about 6 months ago. Not sure what happened, but soon after they doubled in price and then completely disappeared off Amazon. I'd really like to buy a backup. It's been an incredible receiver up until last Saturday. I noticed new firmware was...

    I caught the bug and need a new receiver

    X2 Mini Premium HD. Bought mine off Amazon this spring and I love it. It does everything near perfect and it's 100X more than I expected for the price. Firmware upgrades can be done easily over wifi and they average one every other month. It also has built in internet TV channels and movies...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    I'm also in Indiana and a 39" will work great for you. I bought mine new off ebay from a vendor in Canada for $140 including shipping. That also included a universal LNB and the SG2100 motor. Been working great for at least 6 years now. LNB failed about 2 weeks ago but that was from a...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    What did you end up paying for a 24" dish? I had a 24" DirecTV dish that I took out of service when I went FTA and a some big oval Dishnetwork triple LNB dish that was included with a used receiver I bought. I could NOT GIVE THEM AWAY. Didn't want them taking up space in my garage so I put...

    Lightning strike

    Ok...read through more codes and worked on my grounding today. I did not have a ground block at my house for the dish planted in the backyard. That's been corrected. I have a #8 ground running from that going to an 8' ground rod that my rooftop antenna also attaches to. That ground rod is...

    Lightning strike

    Holland SA-1F Thanks, I'll give these a try. They seem reasonably priced too. I've heard of the loops mentioned from HAM guys, but many think it's a myth. Either way, it's free and can't hurt.
