I have Shaw Direct, so can't help, but would suggest that you ask your question here: https://www.digitalhome.ca/forums/

Southwestern Ontario here (80cm dish), NBC mux SQ is about what I expect, and close to the PBS mux in strength. Unfortunately, I don't really trust my Amiko to give accurate SQ reading, and don't have 99w connected to my AZBox (which does give more accurate reading).

Sort of expected more (after season one). Episode one I found slow, at times boring, and the characters seemed distance (and at times annoying) and disjointed since the first season. Just didn't have the same vibe. Episode two, I did enjoy the action, but:

Looking on lyngsat.com, Korean Central TV is available in North America on Intelsat 21 at 58W on C Band. So, while unusual in that it is available, would assume it would be easy to receive (can't verify it myself, as I don't have a C Band dish). Satellite footprint...

"NGSO operators want the caps adjusted for more flexibility to innovate" LOL! In other words, "we want to blast our signal, who cares if it interferes with other in the same or adjacent bands, and we call it innovation! Let us do the same thing that 5G interference has done to C Band!"

I don't have a motor myself, so can't help out there, but use the CNN Newsource transponder 11960 H 30000 instead of the Florida channel transponder. It is one of the strongest transponders on SES2.

Depends on the receiver. My Amiko gives a zero on Level and six on Quality, on any transponder not active on any of my satellites, or when pointing where there isn't a satellite. Since k4otl has the same receiver, he would be able to confirm.

Have used a variety of types, from straight pieces of aluminum I had, curved pieces, and round pieces. The last two came with LNB holders, the most important aspect, some that I modified to fit on other pieces. Also used aluminum spacers to adjust height on flat pieces. 97, 103, & 110 (c)...

Yep, took a bit to even like your post.

Except that, I would think that would have to be in the receiver's software to begin with, and I can't see that being the case. Especially as our receivers (your Edision, and my Amiko and AZBox) are European receivers!

Very interesting. Finally, we have the answer as to why WeDo Big Stories is even on satellite, which I have been wondering about since it first appeared. Since then we have seen WeDo Amor, and just recently, World Poker Tour FAST channels added. Personally, I would definitely like to see more...

Could it ever! I have a note that the signal could drop to the high teens on my Pansat 3500SD without pixelating, and the normal signal I got on the offset LNB was high 60's - low 70's. Wish more channels had such great staying power!

Yes, you remember correctly. It had some good ones, too.

White Springs TV! I remember it well. I added a LNB for it to my first dish (pointed at 123, naturally) two weeks after getting the dish in May 2006. Three weeks later, added a LNB for 119 for NASA TV. The obsession had begun... Definitely good times!

Yes, the orientation should be on the other side so the LNB is leaning like this: / However, as long as you are getting satisfactory signals on the transponders, and don't mind they are opposite polarity from what they are, there is no real need to change it (especially if the dish is hard to...
