    [Viewsat] Viewsat VS2000 Ultra Terrestrial Scan

    I don’t think the ultra can do a terrestrial scan, most likely, this feature was to use as a loop for viewing terrestrial tv on older coaxial television sets. The viewsat ultra was manufactured before atsc has been deployed.

    Low power c band signals

    Thanks for checking in on these signals guys! I just saw on another forum that intelsat is filing for bankruptcy, I hope this hobby doesn’t disappear! I’ve been using fta satellite tv since 2004!

    Low power c band signals

    Justice network on 97w seems to be dropping in and out. i get 60% quality then after 2 minutes the signal drops for about 5 seconds and comes back on. i’ve taken out the sathero outside and noticed that the signal stays at about 38% and then goes down below threshold at 28% for 5 seconds...

    OTHER Signal Strength Weaker at Night

    In my experience, i find that lnbs with multiple ouputs tend to bring in less signal. Have you tried the geosatpro lnb’s?

    OTHER Newbie just starting out

    What i recommend for starters is to go one step at a time. 1 fixed dish to begin with, then move on from there. If you like your initial setup and want to expand, then it’ll be worth it. Personally , i like 103w because it has a lot of feeds, nbc, nhk, cgtn and the music channels. 90cm is a good...

    OTHER Question about using a Directv Satellite Dish with a FTA reciever.

    If you’re looking to get diginets on fta you will need a c band dish 6-8 ft minimum. You might be able to use a slimline dish to get some ku band programming , you will have to change the lnb and make a bracket for it. You could be able to get some of the strongest signals on 103w and 97w.

    6 ft dish

    i finally made the move of buying a 6 ft dish ! Much better than my 4ft that i bought last year! So far i’m receiving all the channels i was struggling to lock on the 4ft dish.

    Best Channels in FTA [C/Ku]

    Nbc on 103w is not 24/7, it’s mostly for primetime. Doing a blind scan everyday will bring in news feeds as well as occasional local feeds.

    best satellites for audio feed

    It all depends on what kind of audio you are looking for! C or ku band? music or talk radio? I personally prefer the muzak channels on 103w ku.

    Minibud lnb problem

    I’ll try the margarine lid! I’ve tried swapping caps between lnbs and it didn’t work out. Maybe i could put the titanium lnb on the geosatpro and the holed cap on the prime focus dish.
