    What happened to GCN?

    For the past week or so the GCN channel has had signal strength and quality readings, but no broadcast. What happened? I know there is a "Manmin TV" channel, but when I first watched it, it had different programming from GCN and was not dubbed in english.

    River Broadcasting added to Glorystar Christian Satellite 1/12/2010

    Is River Broadcasting (Galaxy 19 97W on 11966H) going to be part of GloryStar? Has anyone contacted them? Seems to be connected somehow to Rodney Browne and "The River" church in Florida. Also broadcasts what appear to be family-friendly old movies and cartoons.

    Improved High-VHF reception when raining (whenever antenna gets wet)

    I'm in central PA. I have a large 8-bay UHF antenna and a converter box for watching digital OTA TV. I noticed that ONLY when it rained could I receive a strong enough signal on channel 27 (actually broadcasting on VHF 10) to make it "viewable". I thought it might have something to do with...

    Vision Heaven TV Off The Air???

    Has Vision Heaven TV gone off the air or moved? 11929/V/22000 and even the live feed on their website shows only a continuous commercial for RRSAT.

    GBN Still Broadcasting?

    I haven't been receiving GBN for several days now. Have they stopped broadcasting on GloryStar? Moved (Heaven Vision comes in OK on 11929 - same transponder)?

    Spirit Word channel / New List

    Has the Spirit Word channel moved? All I get is color bars. Has there been a channel/tp update since June 2008? That's the last one that I see posted in the "sticky" thread. Those of us with the old Mercury II need new specs when new channels are added (receiver doesn't auto update).

    HELP!!! Losing either all G19 or all AMC4!

    Over the past week or so, I've been intermittently losing (no signal) either all the G19 stations or all the AMC4 stations. It seemed to happen most often when changing channels either in full-screen mode or list mode when originally on a G19 station, changing to an AMC4 station then back to a...

    1 Truth Network

    I see there's a new channel on Galaxy 19 called "1 Truth Network". While the newer receivers may automatically be updated to receive new channels, as one who uses the older Fortec Star Mercury II receiver I would appreciate posting of new channel lists whenever updates occur. The channel...

    G19 TP12177

    Is a more likely reason for the low signal quality on TP12177 on G19 relative to what it was on G25 - Something at the satellite end? - Something at the uplink end (like G19 being ever so slightly shifted from the old G25 position that uplinkers have to re-tweak the aiming on the uplink...

    Video PID for Radio Channels

    I've noticed that some of the radio channels have Video PIDs. Doesn't that indicate that they have actual video streams associated with them (possibly to display information on music currently being played)? Is there any way to have the Fortec Star Mercury II receiver treat radio stations as...

    Trouble with Mercury II TP Scan

    When I do a TP Scan, select G25, select a particular TP, then press the appropriate button to scan either FTA or FTA + CAS, I get a scan of AMC4 instead? Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Update: Problem solved. I turned receiver off, unplugged for 10 seconds. When plugged back in...

    God TV now encrypted???

    My receiver (Mercury Fortec) now shows the God TV channel as encrypted (lock next to name on channel list, "BISS" in bar at bottom). Does this mean that God TV will no longer be on G25 as FTA?

    Galaxy 19

    I see that Galaxy 19 is at about 127 degrees today. Is there a website that provides updates on the status of Galaxy 19 (testing, maneuvering into position, etc.)?

    Broadband Usage Caps

    What's going to happen to the overall price for SA IPTV (not only payment to SA but to ISP for service) when broadband usage caps go into effect? I can imagine that, for people who watch a significant number of hours per day, the costs could be prohibitive, especially if IPTV ever goes to...

    GCN Off Air?

    GCN seems to be off the air. Anybody able to currently receive this station? The GloryStar Channel List gives the following specifications for the channel: AMC4 11860H 28138 3113 3114 3113 108 Oddly enough, on the GCN website, only the following specifications are given: AMC4 11860H...

    Galaxy 25 Replacement

    When is the replacement of the Galaxy 25 satellite scheduled to occur? When that happens, what will those of us with the Fortec Mercury II receiver have to do to continue to receive the programming that will (hopefully) be transfered to transponders on the new satellite? Since, apparently...

    KNLB Changing Transponders?

    KNLB Radio has been broadcasting announcements that they'll be changing transponders in the Glorystar network. Any word on what the new specs will be?

    Galaxy 16

    I see that Galaxy 16 is at 99 degrees, about half way between Galaxy 25 and AMC 4. Would another dish and switch be needed to get the FTA channels on this satellite, or could something be done with the existing dual lnb Glorystar setup to receive them?

    Galaxy 25 problems today?

    Anyone having problems with Galaxy 25 channels today. Several times so far, they've all gone to "no signal" for a couple of minutes, then back to normal signal. AMC 4 channels didn't seem to be affected. It's a clear, sunny day here and just a slight breeze. Nothing that would seem to...

    Installer says GloryStar system won't work!!!

    I'm extremely confused. - I live in central Pennsylvania. - I ordered the GloryStar "one room with install (Mercury II Receiver)" system with the 90cm dish and, supposedly, everything else needed for "normal" installation. - I got a call from Buccaneer Communications who indicated they would...
