    AT-9 question

    Ok, this might be a strange question but here it goes. Is it somehow possible to disable reception of the 99 and 103 satellites on the AT-9 (at least for now)? I had the new dish installed recently, but I then found out that diplexers do not work with the new dish. I have an OTA antenna on...

    who has AT9 dish in Phoenix

    I did an AT9 self install and I was hoping someone in Phoenix could tell me what kind of signal strength they are receiving for the various satellites. I am receiving the HD locals from the 103 satellite, so my dish must be aligned fairly well. I shows a 94 on satellite 103 (transponder 16)...

    Is my AT9 dish aligned?

    There was a strong wind storm here in Phoenix last night and I am afraid it caused my AT9 dish to move slightly. I noticed that the picture for the locals (ABC, NBC, etc.) is horrible, but the other channels seem ok. I have the H20 receiver and a signal strength of 75 on the 101, 59 on the 119...

    AR9 dish question

    I had an AT9 dish professionally installed recently, but I had to relocate it. When the dish was first installed, it showed a signal strength of 77 for the 101 satellite and it now shows a 74. I was told that the dish position was critical with the new satellites coming on line and I am now...

    problem with reception of channel 279

    I have a rather old Sony receiver that works fine with the exception of channel 279. The picture quality is terrible on that one channel for some reason. I reset the receiver, but the problem still persists. Is it possible that it is some sort of internal receiver problem that affects that...

    Is GOL still available?

    I went to watch some soccer on Gol earlier, but was unable to pick up a signal. Does anyone know if GOL is still available on Dish? Also - can someone recommend a good dish for my 3618 receiver? I do not want a huge dish, but something that will allow me to pick up more FTA channels (I just...

    Angel One on Echo 7?

    I have a Satwork 3618 and I am able to receive Nasa TV on Echo 7, but I am unable to receive Angel One for some reason. I did a manual scan as well, but was unable to pick it up. I am fairly new at this FTA thing, so can someone tell me if Angel One is still FTA, and if so, what I might be...

    Samsung 360 problems

    Hi, I purchased a Samsung 360 a few months ago and it has been fine with the exception of the picture/audio problems on channels 73 and 89. My question is - has anyone recenty puchased one of these receivers, and if so, does it also have this problem? I am hoping that the new 360s have...

    signal quality and intensity

    Hi, I have my new satworks 3618 all set up and I had a question. This might be a dumb question, but what is the difference between signal quality and signal intensity? I have my 18" dish pointed at Dish 119 and it shows a quality of 56% and intensity of 77%. I am receiving all the free...

    Gol on Dish 110

    I finally got my new FTA receiver (SAT 3618) hooked up to my 18" dish and was able to check out what was available on Dish 110. I have been unable to find Gol tv. Can someone tell me if Gol is still FTA from Dish 110? Thanks for the help.

    Hi, I have a triple lnb for my directv system with just three coaxial cables leading from outside the house. I just added an 18 inch dish and FTA receiver. I do not plan on using my FTA receiver very often so my question is - is there some type of waterproof switch that I can place...

    not enough coaxial cables

    Hi, I currently have a triple LNB dish for my directv with a total of three coaxial connections outside my house. I would like to install another dish outside in order to pick up some FTA programming. It is basically impossible for me to add another line from outside - so my question is...

    Hi, I currently have a directv receiver hooked up to a dish with a single LNB. I am thinking of purchasing a second receiver to pick up FTA stations. My question is - is it possible to have have one LNB and coaxial line feed two separate receivers (one directv and one FTA)? Is there some...

    signal strength and wet conditions

    Hi, I recently put up a dish and I was happy with the signal stregth of around 88. We had a strong storm last night that completely soaked the ground and when the skies cleared, I noticed that the signal strength was down to 77. I kind of figured that the dish had been knocked out of...

    what do I need for FTA?

    Hi, I guess I am on information overload after looking over all these posts regarding this free-to-air subject. I just hooked up an extra 18 inch dish and receiver that is now picking up directv. Now, if I want to go the free-to-air route with this extra dish what do I need? I obviously...

    ESPN HD problems

    I recently purchased a HD receiver and dish and I am very happy with the new service with the exception of the ESPN HD channel. On some progams and commercials, the picture and audio quality are horrible. More specifically, the lower part of the picture freezes and the audio does not seem to...
