If you could request more types of FTA programming, what kind of programming would you want to see and why? Do you think it would create more interest in the USA?

Zoning issues?

Do you think that is all there really is to it?

I'm going to start out by saying I'm a n00b to FTA! I remember back in the 70's, 80's and 90's people would have big C-Band dishes in their back yards. Over the years, there's been fewer and I find that not many people know about C-Band or Ka/Ku-Band, FTA. From what I am seeing, it's viewed...

Okay this is curious, with the information that was mailed to me from the dealer with the coordinates and instructions to get to Galaxy 19, they said go to 156.50 degrees on the compass, dish elevation angle is 47.80 degrees and the LNBF -13.40 degrees. I get to Galaxy 19 no problem! When I go...

He was not near the swamp cooler, he was on another part of the roof, then also proofed himself down on the ground. He used a traditional compass, iphone compass and also the satellite tracker compass in iphone. They all matched. I don't get confused easily and when I do, I say, "what am i...

I can see that, thanks for explaining. I was curious because I am getting signal and quality from the EutelSat along with the list of course. So, this is why I asked, how am I getting quality here if I'm not even pointing in the right direction? Now you understand what drove my curiosity. But...

I'm already there on Lyngsat. I checked all three EutelSat's on that page, none of them list 12147/20001/H. This is why I'm so confused, like how can I be getting this signal? It's showing that this EutelSat satellite is east of me, yet i'm pointing south west. The dish is pointing about 50...

Is Seeing Believing?

They're all scrambled paid channels. it says: No. Program Name 0291 PR4567 0292 PR4612 0293 PR4628 etc... many others.... at the bottom it says: 12147/20001/H

We are messing around trying to get some signals from other satellites and gave up last night. I scanned for all signals and I ended up somehow getting a Signal and Quality from 12.5W Ku-EutelSat. Lyngsat says its below the horizon, so how is it possible for us to have signal...

Got it, thanks, I replied :)

I'm doing the Glorystar setup for simplicity. It says: Highlight each of the 3 channels and aim the dish for best averaged Signal Quality reading above 60% 0901 RT News Strength 76% Quality 00% 0113 Cornerstone Strength 73% Quality 00% 0106 3ABN English Strength 77% Quality 00% 11842/22000/H...

i see that on the page (strength & quality) that i was on, didn't see frequency polarity or sr.

The greatest strength we have achieved is 77% with 0 quality
