I'm getting really crappy signal strength, and quality numbers for METV on 101 West. Today it's a sunny day in NY, and I have lost METV altogether. I have a 10 foot dish. My numbers for Heroes & Icons are OK. Anyone getting the same thing? What exactly is going on with 101 West, and Weigel...

Interesting line-up changes. Thanks again Iceberg. Problem is, I'm getting horrible signal strength, and quality numbers on METV over the past 4 days. Is it me, or is anyone having the same issue? Since November 1, my numbers for MeTv have been way down. Is there anything I can do to my...

If that $50.00 receiver on ebay is an Open Box clone, I won't go there. I programmed one Open Box, but it was very difficult for me. Took hours. Then when I finally got the receiver programed, it kept freezing up. I can be forgetful, and distracted, so it's just better that I keep my receivers...

THank you again. I appreciate very much all the time you have spent on my questions. I'll go on ebay and look for this, and the necessary cables. Also, some guy on Ebay is offering some cheap MPEG 4 FTA receiver for $50.00. He says it's for 97 West, and lists no other satellites. I'm...

Right again Iceberg. You really know your stuff. The Traxis 4000 downloaded a whole bunch of stuff on 97West, but failed to get a picture for RETRO. I had to use a Coolsat 8000, and a Pansat 9200 for Retro. Problem is these receivers were in my METV looping chain. Now, I want to replace the...

THanks Again for the info. I surely appreciate it. Sounds like I better record what I can, while I can. I'd like to loop a few receivers for Retro. Is the audio from Retro on G19 in AC3? I have a Traxis 4000 lying around, great for Blind Scan, but I never could use it for METV, as it can't...

Thanks for the info on RETRO and G19. If I understand this METV business, if and when METV is no longer FTA, does that mean it goes the Terrestial route as a CBS subchannel?? Also, are they are planning to go HD? Sometimes less is more, and I don't want any changes with METV.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the C-Band/KU Universe!!! I'm glad to see Retro is getting better. I have not viewed it since it went off KUBand on 83West. Now that it is back on KU, I wonder if my old PanSat 2700 be able to receive the KU feed, or will I need a more sophisticated...

Primestar, Are you watching Cozi over the air, or on C-Band???

I'm getting COZI here in NY. Wondering why they have the picture framed on all 4 sides, as this makes for a smaller picture, and their logo really looks big. Why would they are their shows using a smaller screen? I think it's annoying. They've got a great array of shows, I just they'd...
