    How Big of a Dish Need to pick up all FTA on Ku-Band

    FaT Air: Saw the picture... Wow, how creative! Regarding my equipment, I've got one of those 6ft solid Fortec Star dishes and an LNBF with the following specs: I guess that I need a better LNBF, too. Thanks for all the feedback!

    Greetings! I have a 6ft satellite dish with a dual band LNB and I can't figure out why I still can't get all FTA on Ku-Band. I receive most frequencies (some very strong) but some come in very weak. Having a 6ft dish you would think thats big enough for all of Ku reception. Am I wrong? What...

    Dish Alignment

    Hello Friends! I'm in the process of re-aligning my dish and need assistance with determining a strong transponder on a particular satellite. My highest elevated satellite on the arc is Brasilsat B3, which is at 75°W. According to Lyngsat, not all transponders have a beam to my location (I'm...

    What Happened To My Family TV?

    Hello Friends! Sorry in advanced if this topic was covered already, but I was unable to search down anything on this. The signal on this channel used to be very strong on G3C but now I can't find it. Did it go away?

    Intelsat 14

    Anyone out there having any luck locking in Canal Info News on Intelsat 14, 45 deg west (11675-V-1240). I've got an AZBox Elite and getting over 50% but can't get this one to come in. I manually added in the PIDs but can't get a picture. Its in DVB MPEG4 format, not sure if thats the problem.

    Blind Scanning

    Hello Forum Friends! Just wondering how people are blind scanning out there. I have an AZBox Elite but use a Fortec Star Platinum for blind scanning. Normally when I blind scan I use either 4 or 6 increments but its taking tooooo long to get through the process. A typical scan takes up to...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Signals

    Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to try harder. Once this format becomes mainstream I guess it'll be more difficult to catch C-band reception.
