The American feed of RTPi on 97W Ku is scheduled to show the first semifinal live Tuesday at 3PM EDT, the second one delayed Thursday at 4:30PM EDT (I don't know why they do this) and the finale live Saturday at 3PM EDT. The American feed of BVN on 117W Ku doesn't provide an online schedule...

The server is responding today, but you still can't read any messages. The messages also appear to only to up to about a month ago, except for two dated today about repairing the website, but you can't read them either...

I seem to remember, when I had my Amiko Alien2 and Alien3, there was some mention of support for some sort of interactive channels that was used in Europe. I can't remember what it was called though. Something like HBB-TV? (Hybrid broadband?)

I never had an Android compass that was accurate enough or stable enough to use for technical work. Yeah, I've tried the whole waving it around in a figure-8 thing, too many times. I haven't tried it with my latest phone (my first non-entry-level model) though, because I haven't needed a...

Not that I really wanted to watch them, but I want to make sure I don't have anything going on with my equipment. Everything else is fine, but I've got a good signal on this transponder yet all the channels are breaking up so bad they're completely unwatchable.

The only thing I see out of date on the Ku chart is the NBC national channels are no longer FTA.

Its main value currently is as the source of a customized software package for Edision receivers and a few others.

I can only read threads in Chrome, not Firefox. Chrome is stock except for MalwareBytes Browser Guard, Firefox (which is my main browser) is heavily adblocked, popupblocked, etc.

There was also a huge earthquake today.

BVN has a low symbol rate and a high error correction rate, so it doesn't take a huge signal to receive it properly. However, I have no idea what the actual output power on their transponder is, or how to do the math anyway. So unless someone comes up with that, the only way to tell would be...

Confirming that the American beam of BVN is indeed airing it at 8PM EDT (20:00 UTC-4), as in the past. I don't know why their website no longer provides a proper schedule for this version of their channel. I thought it used to have its own page. BVN has the better picture quality by far...

The UK (and Ireland also?) participates. I think a lot of English-speaking people use VPNs to stream the BBC. It was carried by Logo, MTV's gay-themed channel, for a few years, but I'm not sure they still do. It was also on Peacock, the NBC/Comcast streaming platform, for a few years, but...

The semifinals are May 7th and 9th, and the final is May 11. It appears that RTPi will be carrying it live at 3PM EDT on the 7th, delayed to 5:30 PM EDT on the 9th, and live at 3PM EDT on the 11th. BVN is carrying it, but I can't find a way to get their website to tell me what timezone the...

You're not going to be happy when 103 shuts down. I don't know when that's supposed to be, but I imagine it's not too far off since most of what's on it is duplicated on 101.

Or maybe too many of their clients haven't switched to the new system.

There's no way to see the encoder counts. The receiver sends a command to the motor to store the current position in a numbered memory slot in the motor, and you tell the receiver which slot to use for each satellite.

I tweaked my dish the other day and got half a dB higher SNR on the other transponders on 99W, but still can't pick up PBS there at all. I really hope they increase the power.

The main PBS transponder IS the strongest transponder that has channels on it. I don't know if there are any data signals or such that are stronger.

Is your LNB really a 9750/10550? 9750/10600 is more common. If you have the wrong local oscillator frequency entered, the transponders will show up as the wrong frequency. Based on the channel name scheme and the Nagra light being lit, you're on a Dish or Bell satellite.

I don't even think 11836 vertical is in use, so I'm clueless too! (I had considered that maybe that old LNB decided to quit when it was moved, but that wouldn't explain why it was showing a signal on a transponder that has none...)

It's now 2023. I see no mention of retiring 113W on Eutelsat's website, but I also see no mention of broadcasting on 113w on BVN's website (even though the channel is still there.) Has anyone heard anything lately?

If you really mean 8W, that's going to be really low in the sky (and I don't even know if they have anything beamed to North America). Still, the receiver should've tried to turn the motor east til it hit the limit, not stay on 97W. I don't know where to tell you to look for the USALS settings...

Currently watching my recording from RTP on my computer while recording BVN as a backup. So nice to have a receiver that does what I want. Now if only the broadcasters would take full advantage of the DVB format and put the original English/French audio on one stream and the local language on...

Are you getting more than two transponders? If not, you're not quite there. There are about 11 of them active with FTA channels.
