I will go to the big dish but first wanted to know that the receiver actually worked before I move the big dish. Its a lot more work.... Thanks for the reply!!

I set the receiver to the Hopechannel as that is usually a strong signal. Settings: Frequency 11842 Mhz, Polarity Horizontal, Symbol Rate 22000 MSps This came in very quick indeed but did not draw in 12060 on the power scan only the Hopechannel came in?. And when I did it manually there was no...

Wow Thats a big set up, nice. Mine is 100cm and one of 75 cm. Is your reciever DVB-S2 capable? I see your out in Montana. Beautiful State been there for a couple of weeks in 2016 loved it. We have kids in PA so hard to move but I will definitely come back for vacation again.

Ahh dus je bent zelf ok een BVN kijker. Ga jij ook over naar Galaxy?

:shh

I agree, never liked the 2 dishes on the house but its been there for over 10 years so I will just leave it on there.

Magic Static Thanks and I agree and cheaper (no purchase of new receiver) I have two dishes a small and a large. I bet I can get great signal with the small dish on Galaxy and remove the large dish from the house.

BVN is now on Eutelsat and Galaxy 19. BVN had many issues especially when your more north ie Canada. Therefor they added Galaxy 19. Galaxy 19 has my preference but I have the option to stay on Eutelsat as I have a large dish. Eutelsat is now transmitting in DVB-S2 and with the Mecury II from...

Hi FTA4PA I am in West Chester, PA and before the rain last week I would get 78%SS at 55%QA on a 70cm dish. This weeks rain made the signal disappear. So sick and tired of the rain fade I got a bigger dish and trying to point it now. Which gives me the most terrible time doing it. It takes...

According to the BVN.NL website the values are Transponder 19k Position 113° west Frequency 12.089 Mhz Polarization Horizontal Symbol Rate 11.719 System DVB-S Which is slightly different from the post above not sure if that makes a difference.

Super Thanks for the feedback. Will get to work.

HI Guys, Just spend some time browsing the forum and I think I have the answer just need a confirmation as I am not very technical with this. I have two dishes one of 76 c and one of 100 cm. I have the Fortec star Mercury II receiver. I want to combine these two dishes and bring both signals...

Main US satellite So is this the main US satellite (over 200 channels) or are there more sat's that are interesting for the US. I am interested as I am considering to add a dish. Looking at Satmex6 at this point.

That confirms my thoughts thanks very much. I am looking on-line and see 120 cm dishes but with shipping cost of 150 dollar. While Winegard would send a 100 cm dish for 28 dollar shipping costs. Does anyone know a cheaper option for a 120 cm dish or even a dealer close to West Chester, PA?

Finding the SATMEX-6 Hi Guy's, The dish is currently pointed at SES-1 and the signal meter of my Satfinder biebs like a champ. Now I have to move to SATMEX-6 (for BVN). So I moved the dish slowly 10 degrees right (and further) but no luck at all. The elevation has just a 6.9 degree...
