    God's Learning Channel?

    All, I was wondering if I could get a favor from someone, since my FTA dish has been out of commission for a while now. Can someone verify that Lyngsat is correct and God's Learning Channel is actually running on 97W Ku? - Trip

    RabbitEars Search Map Enters Public Beta

    I'm pleased to announce the release of the RabbitEars Search Map as a public beta. RabbitEars.Info This tool is designed to replace TVFool which, although I love it, has gone very out of date to the point that it's not really useful anymore to people trying to help with antenna issues. Please...

    Note for those who want a classic Silver Sensor antenna

    All, Ever since Phillips stopped making the Silver Sensor, the only substitute available has been the Terk HDTVi, which is now also discontinued. However, all hope is not lost. Right now, Ali Express has a sale on knock-offs. Last year, I bought and tried this one: Vidbox HD Digital TV...

    PBS Kids Launch 1/16

    A number of years ago, PBS provided a national Kids channel. That went away when Sprout launched. Some stations dropped the kids channel all together, while others started a locally-produced kids channel. Now that Sprout is no longer a joint PBS partnership, it seems PBS is launching a Kids...

    Contemplating Site Changes

    As the site approaches its 7th birthday (seriously!), those who have been with the site from the beginning back in 2008 and pay close attention have probably noticed that site updates have become not less frequent, but less substantive. While I do my best to keep up with launches of new...

    SES-3 Update

    http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2014/db0404/DA-14-462A1.pdf Sounds like SES is going to start preparing to move people from AMC-1 to SES-3, but still no set time frame for when that change-over might happen. - Trip

    Fooling My Motor

    Good evening, Over the weekend, having knocked my dish out of alignment earlier in the week, I decided to fidget with it until I got it to track better than it was. (I'd previously eye-balled it and then gotten 125W peaked, so that it fell off around 91W.) Anyway, after much negotiating on...

    New FTA Setup at Parents' House

    Good morning, all: You may remember my previous satellite setup at my parents' house, before I took my job in Tennessee. I eventually took it down, because it wasn't a very good setup. Too close to the ground, didn't quite track the arc right, and the dish was 30", much too small. Plus I...

    Anyone Having Issues with OETA?

    I went to watch Bill Moyers this evening and found no signal on OETA, even though my signal is normal on Montana PBS and the 12180 mux. Is anyone else having problems or is it just me? (I feel like my dish is finally aligned right to follow the arc and don't want to go tinkering if it's not at...

    Hand-Compiled PBS Feed Schedule

    Hello, all: As someone who is a very large fan of certain PBS programming that doesn't appear on the 24-hour feeds (Red Green Show, McLaughlin Group), I decided to try to make as full a schedule as I could solely from observations of the feeds on AMC21. Here is the link: RabbitEars.Info...
