    WSHM-LD (Springfield, MA) Did they change broadcast locations?

    I started receiving 3-7 CBS & 3-8 Cozi-TV (RF 20) last week. The broadcast tower is / was in Wilbraham, MA and I am about 8 miles away and couldn't receive a signal. I looked at a RabbitEars query and it shows it broadcasts from Mount Tom (Holyoke, MA). It makes sense that I'd receive it...

    WFSB (Hartford) RF 36 NOW and RADAR

    I'm watching 3.1 WFSB (CBS) and I notice on one TV in my house that 3.5 is showing NOW and 3.6 is showing RADAR. There is no picture and this Sony TV shows a message, "Signal cannot be decoded". All of the other TV's in my house are all Samsung, the same model line just different sizes. All...

    JTV on 35-1 in the Hartford, CT / Springfield, MA area

    After a scan I now pick up 32-1,32-2, 32-3 which is a low power Hartford, CT station (RF 32). Get TV is on 32-2. I also picked up JTV (Jewelry TV) which displays as 35-1. I'm just curious what the RF channel it is broadcasting on. I'm thinking is RF 32. I checked JTV's website and they show...

    WEDH (24) / WEDY (65) - Hartford / New Haven PBS stations

    I discovered that I now get both 24.1, 24.3, 65.1 and 65.3 from physical channel 45. I was never able to receive 65.1 / 65.3 from my location on the CT/MA border pre- repack. I believe WEDY was broadcasting on ch. 41. Why the duplicates for what appears to be the same market (since it's off...

    WTXX-TV (Springfield, MA) 34

    While going through my channels I noticed a 34-4 popped up. Currently there is 34-1 (AMGTV) and 34-2 (DIYA TV). The 34-4 is the same as 34-1. Is there any where to find out what network may be headed for 34-4? I searched online and couldn't find any information. There is no 34-3, is that...

    Cold weather reception question

    There is a low power AMGTV affiliate in my area. It broadcasts on RF 48 and it's 48.1 . It broadcasts from Hartford, CT and it shows the range of the signal to be about 15 miles. I'm about 15 miles away. I seem to only get this channel when its below 32 degrees. It doesn't matter if it is...

    DSR-410 - loss of signal / picture on some channels

    I have noticed in the past few days that ch 207 (HGTV) shows no signal. If I go to change satellite settings I have a signal of 20. If I do a check system status and scroll down the items it shows signal of 80. I went through the channels and the only ones that have had this issue is 207...

    Ride the dish

    This winter at Mount Snow (VT) in one of the terrain parks at Carinthia, there was a 1/2 buried satellite dish used as a feature or a "hit" for snowboarders / skiers. Today while skiing I noticed it pulled from the terrain park and in the woods so I took a picture of it. I am not quite...

    DSR410 - signal question

    I have noticed a difference in signal strength on certain channels. An example is 241- IFC - shows a signal of 93 and 242 - Lifetime - shows 72. I actually got a message saying "poor signal". I am using an LNBF with a 7.5' dish. Are some transponders weaker than other others?

    What is the easiest way to hook up two DSR-410 receivers to one LNBF? I may go with a dual output c-band LNBF, but right now want to use the existing equipment.

    DSR-410 receiver or remote issues

    I thought I posted this yesterday, but I did not see it. My DSR-410 or the remote is giving me a problem. The remote stops working. If I turn the receiver off at the receiver, the remote would turn it on but that is it. I did change the batteries. The remote will still turn on / off the TV...

    Terminating the service w/ free box promo

    I have not watched the SkyAngel IPTV in about a month. I upgraded my C-band satellite dish and get the two channels that I watched the most on it. I am going to cancel the IPTV service and pay the termination fee. I signed the 18 month contract and I am in my fourth month. What can I do with...

    AMC 18 or DSR-410

    1. Can someone confirm that on AMC-18 Tp 23 is still the test pattern on the analog side? Because I can not get it any more and my DSR-410 is not working. 2. My DSR-410 shows signal strength of 5 and I have the red light for no satellite. 3. I hooked up the analog Uniden and went to...

    lightning and the dish

    What happens when your satellite system gets a hit or near hit? I have one of the Panamax surge protectors and a module for the wires. Currently the Ku band cable is disconnected at the dish and is attached to the Panamax. The Polorazation wires are also disconnected at the dish and...

    Motorola DSR-410 UHF remote extender

    I miss the Uniden c-band receiver because it had the UHF remote. I see that Motorola has a UHF extender for the DSR-410. Where do you find one?

    DSR-410 Programming Questions

    Last night here in CT we had a lightning storm. No power surges. I was watching HGTV during the storm and after. I wake up this morning and the guide was empty and all channels said "Not Subscribed". I did get BlackBelt so the system was working. I left the receiver on ch 204 and called...

    LNBF vs LNB and DSR-410 questions

    I am a little confused on how an LNBF works versus an LNB on a feedhorn. 1. On a C-band LNB the servo motor moves the wave guide from a signal from the receiver when going from odd to even channel numbers. The LNB gets the Ver or Horz signal and sends it to the receiver. 2. With an LNBF...

    DSR410 help needed.

    I hooked up the DSR 410 tonight, I have it on channel 204 (about 85 signal strength) and I have let it sit for 1.5 hours. It still says Provider ID "0". I read some posts and I changed it to 4160 and it says "Correct Signal Found". If I get out of that screen, and go back I am back on...

    To cover or not to cover

    Is the feed horn cover necessary? Since the new LNBF is sealed and I have coax seal on the connection, can I go without the cover? The reason is the mounting plate was meant for a larger scaler ring and there are only two bolts holding the mounting plate to the scaler and there is a lot of...

    Chaparell C-Band only Feedhorn

    I went to look at my existing feedhorn to see if I could slide out the assembly and insert the BSC-421LNBF in its place. I do not think this feed was adjustable unless I am missing something. Pix: 1. The feed. Excuse the mess. This was from the wasp nest(s) that I removed last summer...

    Saginaw Actuator Tube - 48"

    This was bought around 1991 and used until 1998 on a huge 11 foot ADM aluminum panel dish with a monster of a polar mount. This may be of use to someone with an older large dish. Motor is not included, it is still in use on a 24" actuator. I noticed the bellowes boot is cut (or is that...
