    After 18 months finally got pointed and hooked galaxy 19

    The two sats I find interesting for wild feed hunting are at 91W and 99W. Do a blind scan when there is ANY news event going on and you will find some interesting feeds to check out. I

    Probably the dumbest question you've heard!!

    Thanks for the info Thank you my friends for your input. It sounds like for me, a wildfeed hunter, I will just stay with KU band then. Might not be worth the trouble and I only have a 1 meter dish, so probably would not get much anyways. Thanks very much for everyones quick response and...

    Probably the dumbest question you've heard!!

    I have always loved the KU side of this hobby doing blind scanning and finding off the wall hidden feeds (usually some anchor picking his nose or something) HA! Here is the dumb question. I'm considering trying to find some of the same things on C Band. Does C Band have feeds that are...

    Funny things folks have said about your FTA system

    T4Runner, you hit it on the head when you say 'enjoy the hunt'. That's me to a tee! When I get a wierd wildfeed that I know no one else is watching, that gives me the 'fun factor' I'm always looking for. And I have found many MANY odd-ball wildfeeds. The best is when someone leaves the...

    Funny things folks have said about your FTA system

    Best comeback of all came from my wife, when our neighbor asked "what do you watch with that?", she answered, "Oh, he likes to watch the be-headings on Al Jazerra live!" The neighbor doesn't visit too much any more! LOL!

    Best HD FTA PVR?

    My Pansat 9200HD PVR receiver just died. I've been out of the loop for awhile. Just wondering what everyone thinks would be the best receiver to get to replace it with? I NEED a fast blind-scan as I do a lot of wild-feed searching. KU only. HD is a must and I'd like to receive the most FTA...

    Went to the Uplink Center Today.

    I printed out the picture of that Torus dish and showed it to my neighbor and told them that I was thinking about getting one installed on our roof! HA! I think they actually believed me for awhile! Hey Scott, did you get a shot of that wall of TV's showing all the channels at once. It must...

    Went to the Uplink Center Today.

    I too am curious as to why they would have SOOOOOooooo many dishes if they get all the programming on the one. Might be backups? Always good to have a backup right? I would LOVE to see that wall of TV's showing ALL their programming at once! Must have been quite a site. Too bad you didn't...

    access america/mute issue THANKS for this tip! I have been trying to listen to the Access America station since I got this reciever (about 6 months ago)! I did the mute trick and IT WORKED! Many, MANY thanks! I just figured that maybe there was a bad TP on the sat or something on their...

    Weirdest Feed Name You Remember?

    Funny! The other day I was blindscanning in 91W for some nighttime sports feeds and found 'WowWow PRI' ! WowWow or WooHoo, who names these feeds? Is it the guys in the truck when they start the uplink? -cowpres-

    Awesome Volcanos

    EBRU TV If you like this kind of programming, I suggest Gal19 @97W and check out EBRU TV channel (KU 12084 V). AWSOME channel for this kind of programming. I really like this kind of educational stuff. This is an english channel and is similar to our PBS here in the U.S. Enjoy, -cowpres

    Are you approachable as a SatelliteGuy?

    I just upgraded my DTV sub to Hi-def and when the tech was out to install the new dish, he noticed my FTA motorized dish. He asked me about it and I started to explain the wildfeeds and such to him when he asked me if I get the Al Jazeera beheadings on it. I chuckled to myself and then I...

    Pansat 9200HD + DVB-S2 Blind Search Module

    9200HD I also have just purchased the 9200HD and have to say I really like it. One of the things I like about it is that it has a terresterial tuner in it as well, and it integrates the channels it finds OTA into the mix. I can also tune in to locals while it is doing a blind scan of FTA...

    Conical Scalar ring arrives!

    Congrats! Thanks for posting your results. I am about to try a similar experiment. Your results have given me a sense of excitement. From what I have read, it seems as if it can be done without too much trouble. Did you (or will you) put a motor on the dish or just tune 99 only? Thanks...

    Stopped by an FTA Satellite Dealer last Friday...

    Direct and FTA I'm quite happy with my Direct sub living nicely along side my FTA system. The guy in this store is missing out on the fun his customers could be having with an FTA system. He could be a legit Direct or Dish provider/installer, but even so, he should also carry FTA systems and...

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    Summers in Clearlake, California I have VERY fond memories of going to Clearlake when I was growing up. We used to stay at a GREAT resort called 'Lock Lomond'. They had a great swimming pool there with a corner store where I used to play a game similar to pinball (called BINGO pinball) where...
