    The Best Blind Scanning Receiver You've Ever Used?

    Both Coolsat 5000 and fortec Lifetime Ultra do a good job. When sorting channels, "preview" feature on coolsat is a little annoying, because it moves the dish back and force between multiple satellites. But with Coolsat you can change channel list layout: abc, transponder, or "all". Fortec...

    Need help with Primestar 84e multi-feed

    In less than half a year, I finally got some result: a signal from 89W though, not from 87W. I got 41-49% "signal quality" from 11955 V transponder (with ABC_Now), and it's viewable! But I feel, something is wrong, because the second LNB gets the signal not from the center of the dish as I...

    GlobeCast Receiver ShutDown!!

    It's normal, it's "updating", when you see these /////// running! Try to delete all channels, and turn it off. After you turn it back on, you will see all GC channels are back. For Pittsburg and other channels, you have to re-scan manually though

    Primestar Question
