    Dish Network - 4K question

    I have a 4K TV and want to enable Dish's 4K channels. Do I only need to purchase a Joey and have it activated? I don't want nor need the DVR function of the Hopper. Thanks!

    Failures on 103(s) but 103(ca) and 103(cb) are fine

    We don't watch TV a lot here so I don't know when this failure cropped up. Anyway, I was going to watch SyFy this morning but it was not coming in. So, I ran the alignment test and came up with this. --- 99(s) 1-8 63 0 0 0 58 0 79 0 9-16 x x x x x x 0 76 17-24 0 0 69 75 24 0 0 0 99(ca)...

    PBS HD East (no sound)

    As of yesterday, I am receiving no sound on this channel. Anyone else having this issue? All other channels on this bird are fine. Using a Viewsat 9000HD. I have re-scanned the channels, but haven't gone beyond that.

    Always funny

    One of the first things I do when I load up this site in the morning is take a look at the new posts, then the second thing I do is take a look to see what threads have that little lock on it meaning it has been closed. Then I read that one first just so I can get a laugh at some poor slob...

    Transponder scan misses some radio stations

    Donno why, but my Pansat 2500 and Pansat 2700 will not pick up some of the radio stations on some transponders. For example: I can scan G10R's TP5 (11800V) and none of those FM stations will be included. I have to go and do an "Advanced Scan" and add them one at a time. But, the FM station on...

    The Tube

    I picked up a cheapie FTA box on eBay and now have THE TUBE blasting away here at work in the "waiting arena". It's a hit! Hopefully the FTA bug will be spread by the stuff being set up here. I'm writing up a "What You Are Watching" sheet to post near the TV with descriptions on how to get...

    AMC9 Info Card

    The setup is a 90cm dish, a Pansat 2500A, and a Chaparral Monterey 100C. I have the 100C being fed with the IF out on the Pansat and switch polarity on the LNB with Pansat. I have verified that I can receive both horizontal and vertical analog feeds on SBS6, so I will assume that I can also...

    Chaparral Monterey 100C

    I have obtained one of these (no manual). It comes on, the remote works, but it has been reset to factory defaults. Does anyone have any notes or links to some good info on putting the C and Ku-band sats back into this critter?

    NSS&

    Nss7 I noticed on Lyngsat that this bird has some good freebies on TP12, but it is spot-beamed toward Africa. Any of you US guys verified that transponder 12 is really a no-go? I can easily see that elevation and azimuth from my location, but will await the word from the proz before I try.

    GPTV-PBS on AMC-3

    Is is shown as a free channel, but I cannot get a signal from the transponder at 11985V (SR=19510). So is it FTA or not? I do have a DSR4200 in scrap somewhere. Their website mentions one of these...

    Adding Transponders

    I have recently loaded the latest firmware into my Pansat 2500A. The channel list was of course blank, so what I am wondering is, is it worth it to add extra transponders that are not already there? For example, should I add all the Ku transponders for AMC1 that are listed on Lyngsat? Will it...

    Pansat 2500A & University Network

    When I tune my Pansat 2500A to the University Network, all is well for x amount of time, then suddently I am displayed with "Scrambled or Bad Channel". I hit signal and my quality is at 80% or more. The only fix is to change the channel and then come back. I loaded the latest firmware into it...

    Fortec Star - FC-90

    Bought this to replace a 80cm dish and it is a good one. For example, on T5 I could only get a max of 45% quality on Abu Dhabi, now it is at 80%. I'm using the same LNB. All the transponders on T5 are way up on quality. I also like the mount. I got the FC90-U which mounts with U-Bolts. It...
