Thanks Radar. I don't have a problem getting a Sonic Voom, but if the Specifications in the owners manual under audio state: "AC-3 Dolby Digital (RCA & Optical)" Shouldn't that already be build in to my receiver (Coolsat 6100) :confused: I'm getting about 7 or 8 channels, but only Montana...

Audio... When I first found the satellite I got audio on Montana PBS, but now nothing. Is it possible that shows that are broadcast locally have a different audio that the ones re-broadcast from the network feed?:confused: The manual for my Coolsat 6100 says the audio is "AC-3 Dolby Digital...

It is peaceful and remote, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. We were previously in Missoula, which became to large. We're only about 75 miles from there now, so we can get back there when we need to. Winters here are usually more mild than in the Dakotas and Minnesota (where I am...

Midway between Seeley Lake and Condon in the beautiful :heart Swan Valley.

Thats great news! Thanks Iceberg and Phlatwound! :) Now I know which direction to go, so that should help a lot. I'll give it a try again tomorrow when I can tell what I'm doing. (since its dark and windy now, not to mention that my wife saw a bear walk past the house yesterday). I'll let you...

OK, so I've been tinkering a little today when I had some time, and I seem to get a very good signal and quality at this frequency: 12079 M 21636 V There seems to be no channels associated with this though. Is there any way of finding what satellite that belongs to thats somewhat close to...

I've input a new satellite and defined it as AMC 21

I'll try and not sound stupid here, but I aimed the dish roughly by compass and then with fined tuned it with a meter-type finder. I then further tuned it by the on-screen signal level from the Coolsat receiver. I'm searching blind and automatic, and trying to change some of the other...

Still Nothing... Well, I had it aimed right to start with. My compass had the 15 degree declination already adjusted. I tried backing off 15 degrees anyway and got nothing. My LNB Frequency is set at 9750/ 10600. Are there some other changes I should be making to the search?

I'll give it a try... I'll bump it back 15 degrees and see what happens. Thanks!

I think 195 degrees is correct... According to dishpointer.com, I should be pointing at 195 degrees, although AMC 21 is in orbit at 125 degrees. Right???

After a summer of work, I'm back home again trying to get setup with FTA and am having trouble finding AMC 21.. What am I doing wrong? I'm at 47.3645 N Latitude and -113.5920 Longitude. I've got the dish pointed to 195 degrees at an elevation of 34 degrees. I've adjusted ever so slightly to...

Thanks Iceberg, I have a GEOSATpro Universal Single LNBF with the following info: L.O. Freq Low Band 9.75 Ghz / High Band 10.6 Ghz RF Input Low Band 10.7 - 11.7 Ghz / High Band 11.7 - 12.75 Ghz IF Output Low Band 959-1959 Mhz...

This is all new, but I got my new dish delivered, and have it set up and pointing in generally the right direction with the right elevation, I plugged in my new Coolsat 6100 and I;m trying to get AMC 21 with Montana PBS. This isn't a pre-programmed setting in the list of satellites so I guess...

Be careful of the size and height... I installed a Winegard HD 7082P that has been up for two winters now, and it's not doing too well. We get a fair amount of snow, and it has pretty much destroyed it. I guess that it's just too large of an antenna to handle the weight of the snow on it...
