Dont waste your time now. There is no channels on this sat anymore. There are two sats in this position. Telestar 12 - Only occasional feeds now listed. All permanent channels gone/moved. Telestar 12 Vintage - Footprint out of coverage for US. A Pan American footprint was listed but still no...

As mentioned above, the channels changed to the new DVB S2, 8PSK, MPEG4, HD , so older receivers would not get them. Even SES2 at 87.0W that also shows PBS (Louisiana Public Broadcasting) has also changed to the new DVB S2, 8PSK, MPEG4

Has nothing to do with your set up. These transponders will come on for a few days and switch on and off depending on network capacity.

I get all transponders on 58W using an Amiko A3 and a 36 in dish with a USUAL motor. As per Lyngsat the first few transponders on the Mexican sat is DVB S2 Mpeg4 , so this might explain why you might not be receiving all transponders on this sat. I am in West Palm Beach and get this sat at 80%...

I had previously used USAL to move my motor and encounter this problem. Although this is quick and easy, I discovered going back to Diseqc 1.2 would fix the problem of fine tunining.

I have a 6 foot dish in Florida and can get from 12W to 133W. I used a dual C/ku lnb with Teflon insert for circular polarized sats. All ku sats including the Caribbean footprints come in almost 100%. The newer receivers have better gain/stability. Currently using Amiko A3 for Mpeg2/4...

I received the survey earlier this year with 3 x$1 bills attached. I called up and went through a survey about members in my home, TV s, etc They will then mail you every month a blank notepad to fill in shows, time, how you rate the shoes, etc In exchange you accumulate points to get junk...

I have been experimenting for the last 20 years with dishes from 4 to 10 feet, LNBs, and receivers. Some things to note when trying to receive DVB S2/8PSK: 1. The satellite footprint for your area and the signal strength. Intelsats have a weaker signal strength for US. Locations. 2. The...

I bought an 8 ft length 3.5in from a local plumbing supply store. Lowes/Home Depot do not stock

I had a previous 6 footer back in 2011 when I bought a Fortec from Sadoun for $360. Attached is pics from my previous 6 foot dish. My cable run was 150 ft. Attached is old pics of my previous setup until I moved due to a divorce, to show the polar mount. I prefer a 6 footer here in Florida. If...

There have been several request on this site where can someone purchase an economical C band dish. I found this 6ft dish on EBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/1-8-Meter-180cm-Satellite-Dish-Antenna-C-Ku-Band-Dishnetwork-/171882555893?nav=SEARCH and decided to purchase. I bought it for $150, but the...

The A3 has a very sensitive tuner and responds quickly. I finally set up my 36 in Geosat Pro dish , Stab motor with the A3 last night I can get 30W to 129W even wider arc if I can figure out the electrical limits settings on the motor. I switched out my A3 with my Coolsat 5000 to compare. I...

Most of FTA radio content can be accessed on mobile phones from their FTA websites, unless it is a paid service. You can then stream the content to your car radio. some apps like Tune In allow you to listen to HD Radio content by US States, without actually haven't to buy an HD radio

Thanks for the heads up "Primestar31". Will try to get pics of the project.
