I will go to the big dish but first wanted to know that the receiver actually worked before I move the big dish. Its a lot more work.... Thanks for the reply!!

I set the receiver to the Hopechannel as that is usually a strong signal. Settings: Frequency 11842 Mhz, Polarity Horizontal, Symbol Rate 22000 MSps This came in very quick indeed but did not draw in 12060 on the power scan only the Hopechannel came in?. And when I did it manually there was no...

Wow Thats a big set up, nice. Mine is 100cm and one of 75 cm. Is your reciever DVB-S2 capable? I see your out in Montana. Beautiful State been there for a couple of weeks in 2016 loved it. We have kids in PA so hard to move but I will definitely come back for vacation again.

Ahh dus je bent zelf ok een BVN kijker. Ga jij ook over naar Galaxy?

:shh

I agree, never liked the 2 dishes on the house but its been there for over 10 years so I will just leave it on there.

Magic Static Thanks and I agree and cheaper (no purchase of new receiver) I have two dishes a small and a large. I bet I can get great signal with the small dish on Galaxy and remove the large dish from the house.

BVN is now on Eutelsat and Galaxy 19. BVN had many issues especially when your more north ie Canada. Therefor they added Galaxy 19. Galaxy 19 has my preference but I have the option to stay on Eutelsat as I have a large dish. Eutelsat is now transmitting in DVB-S2 and with the Mecury II from...

Hi FTA4PA I am in West Chester, PA and before the rain last week I would get 78%SS at 55%QA on a 70cm dish. This weeks rain made the signal disappear. So sick and tired of the rain fade I got a bigger dish and trying to point it now. Which gives me the most terrible time doing it. It takes...

According to the BVN.NL website the values are Transponder 19k Position 113° west Frequency 12.089 Mhz Polarization Horizontal Symbol Rate 11.719 System DVB-S Which is slightly different from the post above not sure if that makes a difference.

Super Thanks for the feedback. Will get to work.

HI Guys, Just spend some time browsing the forum and I think I have the answer just need a confirmation as I am not very technical with this. I have two dishes one of 76 c and one of 100 cm. I have the Fortec star Mercury II receiver. I want to combine these two dishes and bring both signals...

Main US satellite So is this the main US satellite (over 200 channels) or are there more sat's that are interesting for the US. I am interested as I am considering to add a dish. Looking at Satmex6 at this point.

That confirms my thoughts thanks very much. I am looking on-line and see 120 cm dishes but with shipping cost of 150 dollar. While Winegard would send a 100 cm dish for 28 dollar shipping costs. Does anyone know a cheaper option for a 120 cm dish or even a dealer close to West Chester, PA?

Finding the SATMEX-6 Hi Guy's, The dish is currently pointed at SES-1 and the signal meter of my Satfinder biebs like a champ. Now I have to move to SATMEX-6 (for BVN). So I moved the dish slowly 10 degrees right (and further) but no luck at all. The elevation has just a 6.9 degree...

Hi Jim, so although I have a weak signal you don't think it is because of the tree's? I have these huge pines right in from of me and the signal. At least the tops of the tree's are in front of the signal. And I always thought that was the reason for the weak signal. I spend a lot of time...

Thanks Magic Static, from the start I wasn't getting anymore than 49% on the SES1, I will try and find the Satmex once the weather improves but I am afraid I will have to get a bigger dish. Any suggestions to dealers that you have good experience with are welcome. Many Thanks Fuif

Did anyone looking at BVN already change to Satmex-1 and if so how is the signal coming in. (I am asking as my signal from Ses1 is poor and hoping for a better result via Satmex)

Thanks guys and dolls Must be the tree's that are bugging me. Can't get it any higher than between 51 and 58.

Ever since BVN changed to the SES-1 satellite I have bad reception. 48% to 57% quality and I am interested if other folks have the same experience. I would like this tread to be purely about what others have as a quality percentage and purely in the US North East or Mid Atlantic. Just to...

Hi Guys Good news and bad news, bad news first .. I have to spend buckeronies on a new receiver as the good news is that a friend tested the receiver and concluded that it died. So off to the bank...:-)

Hi Otheo, Thanks for your response, I tried to find another satellite but did not find any. I am suspecting that my receiver is toast. See the previous posts. More to come..

Hi Turbosat, could not get that one, but the guy (wsidigital) suggested the Omegasat DSB5700. As I am not sure about both the LNB nor the receiver that I use at this point, so I started with a new LNB (also more economical if it turns out to be a faulty LNB ;)) and will take it from there. Thanks

HI Turbosat, You know.. with my actual set up I feel like I am fishing without knowing if there is a hook at the end of the wire. I am in the dark towards the fact if the equipment is correct, if the config gets regoqnized, etc. So with equipment that actually helps me to know that all is well I...

Tried programming the TP's manually buy the moment you take the power away it looses everything and I have to start over. I will try some more today, as it will keep the settings as long as it has power, but I am close to scrapping this thing. Thanks for all your help.
