You may need a new LNB to mount at the focal point of your dish. Can you post photos of the dishes you have? So you're not disappointed, these are some of the channels that may be available to you: FTA Ku channels

If this doesn't sell fast, then life isn't fair!

It doesn't sound like a bug. That's just a database change required due to the MIcrospace mux moving from 103W SES3 to 101W SES1. You should be able to update your database. Does that receiver need editing software on a computer to modify the database? Or can you edit right on the receiver?

I can't edit PIDs with my receivers either. But can you create new channels using its editor? If yes, then you can add the Mood Music audio channels on 101W.

For example, this one just came available in Mississauga and for free: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-free-stuff/mississauga-peel-region/free-satellite-dish/1697742666

Probably not available from other sources. When I was in Halifax a few years ago, I tried very hard to receive 58W using a 4-foot dish. Over a period of years, I never succeeded in receiving any transponders from that satellite. Though the footprint is supposed to be 4 dB lower there than in...

I was going to ask what exactly you are trying to receive from C-band? There may be easier ways to receive it such as streaming or maybe even from Ku-band satellite.

C-band reception on a 90 cm dish is VERY tough for a number of reasons. I will go so far as to say you won't receive the 58W satellite on a 90 cm dish. You would be lucky to receive anything on C-band. You can read my signature to see the C-band LNBF I would recommend. It's the only one I've...

I typed the Mood Music channels into my V7S5X receiver using its editor. Also, the attached database has all the North American satellites configured and European satellites removed. This could be useful to anybody who has a new GT Media satellite receiver. Just unzip first and upgrade your GT...

Some good dielectric plate discussion for the Titanium C1PLL LNBF is at this post and following. This was from my first time using a plate to receive circular transponders: Dielectric plate

The V7S5X can receive the HEVC transponder on 117W Ku which confirms it can handle H.265 / HEVC. This is a newer standard than H.264 / AVC. Also, V7S5X has interfaces for wifi, 3G and Mobile Tethering. I have only tested the wifi interface and it works fine for connecting via your home wifi to...

I have the GT Media V7S5X. Its blind scan works very well. It's easy to use. There is an editor available so you can do editing on your PC and then upload the database via USB memory stick similar to how the GSP microHD worked. I leave the USB memory stick installed on the receiver so I can...

I can vouch for this. I received it in past too on a 4-footer.

Three years ago, when using a 4-foot dish from eastern Canada, I received this transponder too by using a dielectric plate in my LNBF though at that time I was receiving CNN Brazil that was ITC on it. Similarly, I received the Sersat mux too. 40.5W SES6 was also a good circular tp satellite at...

You need at least 9.5 dB for stable reception of DVB-S2 5/6 8PSK.

Raising my hand if they're looking for volunteers for early testing...

For little more than the cost to ship an old unit, you could order a brand new state-of-the art satellite receiver from China and have it delivered to your home for free. They are advertised on ebay for about $30 delivered. I learned this when I tried to resurrect my old GSP microHD. I'm...

You found a good link. The ads are even more interesting than the articles. Imagine an amateur radio store (Barry's) in downtown Manhattan!

Time for a larger dish? My 4-foot dish scans in Daystar this morning so it's a strong tp with low C/N lock value. But, as expected, nothing else on 101W scans in.

No idea. Maybe cost. But I'd like to think, and I admire, some get personal satisfaction from making their own technical stuff especially when it comes to antennas. Why? Just to see if they can do it.

Using a 12-foot dish should be easy for this task. Note attached that talks about an amateur radio operator who made his own 5-foot dish for the same purpose. Courtesy of July/2024 issue of QST magazine from ARRL.

I'm sure somebody in California will have some advice for you. But I'm curious what you are keen on receiving from Galaxy 31 with a 12-footer?

Here is a brief summary of some of the FTA satellite English language channels that you may be able to receive on Ku band with a 3- to 4-foot dish (depending on visibility in your particular yard to the sky). Trees or neighbor's buildings may get in your way. Reuters news feeds; religious...
