    The future of the FTA hobby

    I noticed a comment at Ricks that the 99W channels have gone missing. My system is primitive, not motorized. There's a lot of walking back and forth to move to a different satellite. 117W would probably be ideal if I can get it.

    The future of the FTA hobby

    They appear to be gone from 99W. I'm not sure I can get 117W due to the neighbor's ever growing tree. I did find three Azteca channels at 93.1°W. Thanks for your help. Will try again tomorrow.

    Thanks. Still pursuing FTA, thought I might try a small addition before winter set in. Snow here last night.

    Intelsat 34 (55.5W) launched

    Good to know. My 10 footer cannot see that part of the sky, and I have a spare 6 footer. Which will now stay in my basement. Thank you !

    Is there a channel ATV HD from Peru on this bird? Do you think a 6 foot dish here in Wisconsin can reliably pick this up?

    10' Kaul-tronic (KTI) Mesh Dish

    I once believed there were no KTI buttonhooks, but then member Bongu wrote: "I have a 10 footer that will disagree with you. It is in my "attic" storage. It has a label on it "Nova by KTI", and it is definitely a buttonhook. Picked it up in N. Illinois earlier this year."
