    Cozi tv scrambled ?

    Working fine a little while ago. I do have a strong signal as always , but , both my FTA receivers will not decode the channel . All other channels work fine as usual on 103 . Strange that Lyngsat does not show the channel either . Any news ?

    True south.

    It has been a long time , as my dish has not moved . Now , I am helping install one for my brother. I know there was a site that would relate the location of true south to the magnetic south . If I remember right , It could also help with the choice of nearest true south sats from my location ...

    Blind VS Preprogrammed scans

    I did a blind scan [ detailed ] today on 83w to see if there were any new channels , and noticed that pbj , tuff and rtv were not found. Did it on the preprogrammed scan and there they were [ I already had them as well ] . I thought it was a little strange. Is there a chance that more channels...

    LNB adjustment.

    Sorry I couldn't find it. Skew and aiming is easy , but , I wondered if sliding the LNB closer or farther from the dish has any effect . If so , which is more desirable , or advantageous to the signal strength ? Thanks in advance. :)
