I never thanked youze guize for the reply, so THANKS!

I want to get back into FTA. I'd like to get the PBS feeds, 4K feeds, DVB-S2, and IPTV. Which receiver do yunz recommend? Thanks!

I have a 4K TV and want to enable Dish's 4K channels. Do I only need to purchase a Joey and have it activated? I don't want nor need the DVR function of the Hopper. Thanks!

Ok. I'm in zip code 30533. I'll have a look at the alignment this week and let yunz know. It has been out there for a year plus and I'm sure I've bumped it a few times with the mower. I've not gone through the full channel list. I only tried SyFy, but I didn't notice anything close to that...

We don't watch TV a lot here so I don't know when this failure cropped up. Anyway, I was going to watch SyFy this morning but it was not coming in. So, I ran the alignment test and came up with this. --- 99(s) 1-8 63 0 0 0 58 0 79 0 9-16 x x x x x x 0 76 17-24 0 0 69 75 24 0 0 0 99(ca)...

Well this satellite is the only one I can see from my home (trees & such). Will one of the cheap-@$$ Openbox or Skybox units work ok for getting PBS in DVB-S2?

Thanks for the notes BJ. I was referring to the PBS HD East channel on 12140. I did what you mentioned just now (deleted everything on 12140 and re-scanned). Now the sound is there on all three channels. That was an odd one to say the least.

As of yesterday, I am receiving no sound on this channel. Anyone else having this issue? All other channels on this bird are fine. Using a Viewsat 9000HD. I have re-scanned the channels, but haven't gone beyond that.

In the southern US, we use duct tape, pronounced duck tape, for such things. :)

I think I read it on multichannel.com or some other news site. Use Google.

You need to be careful. Some of the FTA vendors have judgments against that that require them to turn over the firmware and name of the owner in the case they get a unit in for repair that has "unauthorized" firmware. It wouldn't hold up in court, since you can prove you were not the original...

I first got into FTA when I saw a setup at an amateur radio "hamfest" about five years ago. This site helped me to figure out a lot of the tuning I needed to do to get my motor working correctly when I added one, and Sadoun is where I purchase most of my stuff. I always like to show off what...

Welp, Two of my favorite music feeds went $ somtime yesterday or day before. I liked Soundscapes and Singers & Standards on IA-5, but they are gone. The were making funny noises, so I deleted my channels and re-scanned and they came back $.... (deep sigh)

Any Bullfighting? And here I thought this thread was about political debates... :)
