I've been using a 1 meter Primestar [Channelmaster] dish to receive programming on G-18, and of course it works great. Today I rescanned and noticed PBS in the mix. At first I thought that maybe feeds were being relocated from next door at AMC-21. But, it must be my dish playing tricks on me...

Notice it reads *receivers designed to receive unencrypted FTA; one can legally receive TV signals without subscription*. Refreshing to see the potential of FTA being promoted the way it should be, where it begs to be, in the USA -- given the recent negative attack from DN, for the confusion...

A project I've been planning to do before winter, has finally happened. The goal: to modify a 121 SuperDish to receive G-18 FTA at 123 degrees instead of G-23 at 121, while keeping the 110 and 119 degree feeds original, for NASA, ect. The Ku FSS feed is married to the 110 DBS feed at the...

Okay, I did some checking into why the 22K switch won't talk to a DISEqC digital switch. Well, it sorta does, but it mumbles. I didn't use a 4x4 22K unit in this test, only two varieties of two-way switches for a comparison. The 22K quality switch made by Hughes, and a cheaper design made by...

Just wondering... I've been parked on Nimiq 1, but it's lost a few popular audio FTA feeds. Is there anything more to the east for circular feeds? I thought there used to be something on Echo 3 but I can't even detect it's existance, if still transmitting? Trying to fill in some blanks here...

Anyone able to process and hear AC-3 audio for Euro News on 3902H? They just lit-up from test bars to video, but I'm unable to process any one of the several audio AC-3 (language) channels. Real Madrid on this transponder has Mpeg2 audio (English), not AC-3, and is currently in the clear...
