How can I listen to the AC-3 audio on the PBS stations? I have a Sony surround sound receiver, If I hook up the sat receiver to the Sony receiver, should I be able to have success. It does have dolby surround.

Basically, I am more after the process of getting the show/program onto a DVD, lets forget about the quality at this time. I am interested in IA5 mainly, and needed to know the process of getting a show onto a DVD. I have a few computers to work with, but mainly an IBM thinkpad T42 (Centrino M...

Good morning, I am fairly new to FTA, I have a motorized setup which works great. My question is, I have a windows based and even an Apple laptop that I would like to hook up to my satellite/receiver system. What will I need? Or is this even possible. I plan on recording some shows through...

Awesome, finally I will be able to pick up one of the major networks. G10 is currently blocked by my next door neighbor's house :( . Do you know if there are any other TPs on other Sats other than G10 that has any of the major networks for Ku band?

PSB, or anyone for that matter, is KUIL-TV FTA(AMC-4)? According to LyngSat it is clear(DVB) but does not have an "F" indicating that it is free. Will I be able to pick this TP with my Fortec Classic box? Thanks,

Ahh, perfect seems I should explore my remote more :p Thanks for the info

Although new to the hobby, I am totally addicted. My wife on the other hand. . . just needs time. I also got my father-in-law and sister-in-law hooked as well ;) "Now to figure out a way to brainwash the wife :rolleyes:

So does that mean that when they launch the new sat, we won't have access to G10 for some time? If so, generally how long is it usually. . . days? weeks? months? eeek Years?

And here I was getting worked up on the fact the AMC East might actually be free :( Oh well, at least I have Scarface on DVD :D

That may be the real question that I need to know, how do you switch between each sat without having to scan in all the TPs. Thanks,

So I was on LyngSat's website and came across Anik F1R at 107.3W and see that there are a few channels on there that are apparently digital/clear for KU. For example: AMC East Access Knowledge Network Am I reading this correctly or are they not available for FTA. I have not done a...

This might be a question for anyone with a Fortec receiver. Anytime I move from satellite to satellite, do I need to download all the tps? I have two Fortec Classics and it just seems like a pain to go from AMC 3 to IA5 and scan in all the Tps everytime. Please tell me that I am not doing this...

It kinda seems like as soon as you open the gate on the back side of the yard, you will fall 20-30 feet to street below :D

Does anyone have any information on what Tps will be included with the launch of Galaxy 17 (late 2006) which is supposed to replace G10R at 123W? I assume there should be the same content, since it is supposed to "replace" the older model satellite. I also take it that this would be also the...

Has anyone else encountered this before on AMC 3? Whenever I try to scan this sat, for some reason, I can only get MTA international and WYDN-TV even on different TPs. I am doing something wrong that I can not get the PBS stations.
