    Found Part of the Problem, What Next?

    Hi Stoker. My 4d had the old maps with x4 being ku without subscription. I bought it at a pawn shop almost 2 years ago ( so who knows how long the unit was without getting hits ) with a good battery ( I'm pretty sure the past owner replaced it just by looking at the battery it has in it ). I did...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    Could have not said it better in spanish, very well put !! Reason why I have NEVER mentioned channels we all enjoy in this "our hobby" by name... and yes, I do get few channels over the Atlantic that are not listed anywhere ( mostly S. America channels ).... check 45w :). Happy Halloween...

    Teletica @ 43 is Not No More?

    inline amplifier Jim. Have you tried to connect an inline amplifier between the lnb and the stb?, it will greatly improve your signal / quality, be aware that you will lose either band C or KU when you do that, I have it connected very close to the stb so it only take but few seconds to...

    Teletica @ 43 is Not No More?

    Spent quite a bit of time looking for Telestar 12 @ 15º I get that bird with no problem at all ( as you should if your LOS is good ). My arc goes from 15 to 137 ( tried 12 but only once was successful to catch something ), strong tp's at 15 11806V , 11964H and 12173H. You can also try 22 is...

    How much did you spend for your 4DTV

    Lot Price. Bought a new 920 in 1997 along with moving and installing my 10ft. dish at my new house for $ 1100.00 ( just to move and install the dish on a 20+ ft. pole was worth every penny my installer got for the job IMHO ), I did changed the battery in it last year but it was too late, the...

    Soccer world cup games this friday

    Lets all enjoy the sport . just that if you have the option to listen to a broadcast from another spanish speaking country like argentina , mexico , spain just to name a few , then in my opinion those commentators are better. This young cuban guys have improved over the years but in the same...

    Zero Quality Signal--Have tried everything I can

    Hope this can help you. Where am I going wrong? How can the signal meter indicate a signal and yet I still get zero quality on all satellites? Shouldn't some satellite have some quality, given what the signal meter is telling me? Thank you " Why you have signal but not quality "...

    FTA in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

    rca cables from azbox to 5.1 Hola Carlos. If you have a 5.1 tuner it will decode the audio for you, the tuner must be in surround sound option, granted you must have a SAB that will receive AC3 audio ( aka azbox elite or alike ). Good luck. Granadaguy.

    FTA in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

    Not necessarily true. QUOTE=tonydix;2150135]To get AC3 audio on 125 you need :- New Sonic Voom surround sound headphone MP3 MP4 ZUNE on ebay. My 5.1 decodes the AC3 audio with regular rca cable connectors, I don't have any headphone connected to it.

    Amazonas 1 @ 61W Ku Band

    It's a FUN hobby to have. All in all we can't deny the fact that the amazonas satellite is hunted mostly to steal signals, right? LOL i don't know why you get so agitated with my statement John, cheer up man, lighten up. Mike I am not an expert when it comes to this hobby and will never be...

    Amazonas 1 @ 61W Ku Band

    C band shouldn't be a problem for you. John. I get 4 or 5 C band feeds on this bird and I live 1500 miles north of you ( or there abouts ), am sure you'll get very strong signal down in Mexico. Nothing on ku though. Good luck and enjoy portuguese. Granadaguy.

    UTR up on Intelsat 3R ?

    No luck here I have tried to lock in that TP many times but never had any luck with it, I dont think is running, I have a couple of tp's locked in on that bird but it's C band. If you can get it ?, I am sure Ice or other member in here with more knowledge than me can answer your question.

    RIP 922

    If you do a master reset the satellite names will load again, then go to g1 channel 3 and leave it there for 20 minutes it will map out all the available satellites for the box. Until I found the 922 I use now I had my 920 ( with dead battery... I was ignorant about it and didn't know ) moving...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    Linear compared to circular Hi Rich. Thank you for putting some "light" on this linear, circular lnb stuff, now I understand a little bit better why I'm not able to get some of the signals as I just have a standard linear c/ku lnb. Both of those birds 22w & 40w have circular polarity on all...

    New channels at 24w & 30w didn't have before

    Never thought of it Mel. Thanks for the tip ( did not know that ), I just go by what the box tells me and it's being a couple of months since I did some hunting. And YES I do agree with you not to mention any new channels on the OPEN.... give me "numbers" It'll be up to the person to hunt...
