    Is LegitFTA Down?

    Down again. "Your server meets all of XenForo requirements and you're now ready to begin installation."

    Is LegitFTA Down?

    It doesn't work for me on Windows. I don't remember enabling any cookie protection on Firefox itself other than whatever the default settings may be. I do have ublock origin and Malwarebytes Browser Guard enabled, but neither are reporting blocking anything. It does work with Edge, which I'm...

    Is LegitFTA Down?

    That's the one I've always used. Still doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome, works in Edge only as long as I don't log in.

    Is LegitFTA Down?

    Not working for me. I get "too many redirects" in both Firefox and Chrome. I even tried an un-modified Edge and it still doesn't work. Also, the few parts that do work are slow.

    Gone again.

    Is LegitFTA Down?

    Seeing as how there's only like ONE active thread at any given time, maybe they should just dump the site and start fresh? Maybe even with different software?

    ...and it's gone again.

    it's Eurovision Song Contest time again

    The on-stage hosts always narrate it in English, like they do for the Olympics. I wish the local broadcasters would give us the option of an audio channel without themselves talking over it in their language, since this would be easily done with digital broadcasting.

    it's Eurovision Song Contest time again

    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...

    Is LegitFTA Down?

    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...

    Found a amost year old story on FAST channels for FTA Ku band satellite.

    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?)

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    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...

    are all the channels on 12132 H 27500 at 30W breaking up for anyone else?

    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.

    Up-to-Date Accurate Ku Listing of FTA Satellites

    The only thing I see out of date on the Ku chart is the NBC national channels are no longer FTA.

    LegitFTA down?

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

    LegitFTA down?

    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.

    Cuban MUX on Hispasat 30W not working OK

    There was also a huge earthquake today.
  20. Jim S.

    Wondering what channels I can get with some old equipment.

    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...

    One week til the Eurovision Song Contest

    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...

    One week til the Eurovision Song Contest

    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...

    One week til the Eurovision Song Contest

    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...

    Multiple LNBs

    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.

    Patient Channel 87w

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