    RTPi added to 97w Ku

    RTPi officially announces 97W/Galaxy 19 reception Tonight, RTPi started running spots announcing their existence on 97W. They didn't say they're moving to 97W from 101W. Instead, they're selling this as an improvement in reception of RTPi and RDP, especially for their viewers in Hawaii and...

    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    My dad and I were always interested in getting a satellite dish, mostly to watch Portugal's RTP channel. The local Portuguese radio station would always advertise these C-band systems starting at like $1000, and I did a lot of research and subscribed to some magazines and got all juiced up, but...

    The first FTA system I saw was my own! First FTA channel I saw was CCTV4. I was looking for AMC4, so I missed it by that much.

    Question about international satellite use and DVR

    Of DVR's. Hmm. I'm kinda surprised Walmart is still selling that hard disk based Magnavox DVD recorder. I thought that had been discontinued long ago. Hard disk based DVD recorders are a funny thing. In other parts of the world, they're available with HD tuners, terabytes of storage, network...

    Pansat 150M opinion please?

    My hands-off opinion of these receivers. All I know is from what I read (and I read quite a bit last year when I was interested in a receiver), and my own personal conclusion is that the Pansat 250sm was an ill conceived product while the Pansat 150m was a stop-gap measure to fill some gaping...

    What happened to RTPI on AMC 4?

    Coincidentally, RTPi has been flaky today. But the signal from the satellite's been strong, so the problems seem to be going up, not down.

    Enter to win: Sadoun Heavy Duty DG380 HH Motor ($120 value)

    I have a SG-2100 on a 1.2 M dish and I know I've overspec'd it so I'm always really careful moving the thing. But that DG380 sounds like just the motor for my needs.

    Contest - Win a GEOSATpro 1.2M Dish, SL2 KU and CK1 LNBF with Bracket

    I'll just say anytime I see somebody attach a dish to a drain vent pipe, I feel to urge to slap somebody around a little bit. I mean, nearly every day I drive by this one apartment where someone has bolted what I hope is just a 75 cm dish onto a drain pipe vent, and every day I just shake my...

    NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

    Sky comes off a satellite located at 58W, and if you're on the west coach of North America, that's a low elevation target, and using an off-set dish, it's going to look like it's pointing to the ground. Being in Northern California, I once tried helping someone fix a Sky dish after the...

    Is RTPi on AMC4 switching polarities?

    Looks like the vertical signal at 12033 went down right about the time I posted that last message. 12033 H 3.003 is back up to about 90. Maybe that'll be all for these polarity shenanigans.

    Is RTPi on AMC4 switching polarities?

    Well, it's a nice change to wake up on a Saturday morning to discover you're not going completely crazy. :D

    Is RTPi on AMC4 switching polarities?

    As discussed in the KUIL thread, I've been having trouble receiving RTPi from AMC4 today. I suspected it could be a transmission issue, but since I can't do anything about that, I decided to fool around with my receiver, see if there was any LNB drift or whatnot. Anyway, the signal improved...

    KUIL?

    I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but as I mentioned, AMC4's RTPi (12033, 3.003H) has been unusually bad today. Usually I get it at 99, but today it's been bouncing from 50-99 when it hasn't been at 0. Maybe I'll give it a day or so before I try any further adjustments I can't do from...

    KUIL?

    Yeah, I just saw KUIL. What's killing me is RTPi seems to be disappearing today.

    Visionsat 200 with DiSEqC 1.2 issue

    I thought I was on the latest firmware, based on the Visionsat review thread. I'm now trying the "card supported" firmware (1.45) even though I'm not using cards. I guess I'll test it tomorrow. After the soccer game. :D Thanks for the help!
