Thanks! I thought that was the case, but it's been so long since I've worked with this stuff I couldn't remember if there was something different about the probe for an LNA or not.

I have an old dual C-band feedhorn that was used on an LBA system, but I would like to used it with an LNB - is there any difference in feedhorns between LNA and LNB?

There appears to be an issue with the Coolsat-5000 and the RTN feeds receiving interference from an adjacent signal. I have a 12' dish with the Coolsat connected to it as a slave and for the first time a few weeks ago noticed RTN had disappeared... I had to manually add them back in (a blind...

Got them back! Well I really can't explain it... but, I deleted all the channels and predefined transponders on that satellite and did a blind scan and both east & west RTN channels popped up... someone else mentioned an NBC feed on a nearby frequency.. . when I lost RTN and their signal level...

Yeah, I did a rescan... no joy. Did a power cycle... no joy. Strange that during the rescan it came up with a couple of SNG uplinks, but it didn't find RTN. This is on a Coolsat-5000.

It shows a signal level that fluctuates between 75-95 - has been stable prior to today - but the video has been blank all day... it was there yesterday and other NBC transponders on same satellite come in just fine.

Someone in the control room must have flipped the wrong switch, because it's now working.

Well it looks like PBS on AMC-4/16 (analog) is still there. It's a mirror of the programming on PBS-HD, actually it' been that way for weeks. I thought I remember reading awhile ago where there was some government mandate that PBS had to keep this in-the-clear.

In looking at this weeks PBS Sked-X programming listing they list Thursday (2/12/09) as "off-air" - are they eliminating their analog C-band feed?

Thanks for the reply - it looks like my servo motor has gone out and I'm stuck on vertical polarity. I always keep a spare one on hand so it looks like my things-to-do list has one additional item! :) Tony Haukap Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite...

Anyone know what's happened to them? They have been dark for over 24-hours now. Tony Haukap Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television -- .

Thanks! I blind scanned G26 a couple of times (using a Coolsat 5000) and it failed to find it, I had to manually add the transponder and symbol rate and it finally found it! Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television --

It was their one FTA channel that I was looking for, just did a blind scan of G26 and didn't find it... it was occasional video, but usually carried NET1 or NET3 programming on it. Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television --

Thanks for the quick reply... I haven't scanned G26 in quite a while, I guess now I have a reason! ;)

Anybody else having trouble picking up the PBS affiliate from Nebraska called NET-1? I'm getting all the vertical channels on Galaxy 25 (C-band) just fine, but there's nothing on the horizontal channels where NET-1 is/was located. Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website -...
