Make sure the H20 is set for the 5-LNB dish, and not the 3-LNB dish. That option should be in the setup menus somewhere.

Optical, I live in Marietta as well, and I don't loose my HD locals unless the rain is pretty hard. It sounds like your dish is not pointed as well as it should be. Do you have any trees that could be in the way?

Try the ignore list, it works for me... unless folks quote him.... like you :)

Well I can confirm that Fox Sports South/Turner South HD did go live for the Atlanta DMA, on channel 96. I am watching the Braves game as I type this. You do need an H20 and the 5 LNB dish. My HR10-250 will not tune channel 96.

The HR10-250 does NOT re-compress the video signal before it is stored on the disk. The PQ on my HR10-250, which is now 18 months old, is very good. My new H20 may be slightly better, but not much. Are you using the HDMI connection, or component? Do you have a 720P, 1080i or 1080Pset? Make...

Do you have a multi-switch in your setup? Only the new Zinwell WB68 is designed to work with the KA sats. If you have a multi-switch, make sure it is this model. What max signal strength does your H20 show for 101, 110 and 119? You should see 70+ on at least some of the transponders on each...

indylocal, Do you see any signal on 99 or 103 on the H20 signal strength page? Do you have the b-band converter installed on the H20? It is a small white box that is in-line on the sat feed into the H20.

If all west coast DNS users had MPEG4 receivers, D* could convert the LA DNS channels to MPEG4, and free up enough KU bandwidth for 2 conus HD MPEG2 channels. MPEG4 is not limited to the KA sats, just MPEG4 receivers. Also, latest word on the MPEG4 DVR is September.

What you are describing sounds like a dynamic multipath problem. This can be caused by things such as wind blowing nearby trees around. If you check your OTA signal strength when you start seeing dropouts/freezes, you will see a signal suddenly drop from 80+ all the way to zero, then back to...

Atlanta has changed for sure. HD Locals launched on TP16 sat 103, and I now have a 0 signal for that TP. Is there any way on the H20 to know what TP # a channel is tuned on? The attempt to generate a spot beam map on the spaceway birds may be difficult/impossible, since the spots can be...

No problem. The main reason I posted my numbers was that they are very different from what was originally posted for Atlanta. When ATL HD locals first launched (Nov 2005) TP16 sat. 103 was the only spot I got. Back then I had a peak signal strength of 94. Over time that has dropped into the...

Did you happen to bother to read the ATSC standard for direct to home satellite transmition? If you did you would see both 1440x1080i and 1280x1080i listed as valid transmition formats. Last time I checked DirecTV was broadcasting via. satellite, so I would think that using the allowed...

Challange accepted: Here is the official ATSC Digital Television Standard. ATSC Digital Television Standard, Revision E (the latest version of THE STANDARD) http://www.atsc.org/standards/a_53e.pdf The document you posted is under the Recommended Practices section of the ATSC website...

The document you are linking to is not the standard, rather the 'Guide to the use of the ATSC Digital Television Standard'. If you look up actual standard, it has a far more vague definition of HDTV, and references the document I posted above as being the part of the standard that applies for...

Perhaps you should verify your 'facts' before you go contacting Senators. Below is the link for the ATSC specification for the 'Direct to Home Satellite Broadcast Standard'. If you check page 17, Table 7.3 lists the allowed compression formats. 1080x1280i, 1080x1280p, 1080x1440i and...

The only thing coming of the 99 sat right now are spotbeam HD locals. If there are not any cities near chicago being served off 99, then you will not get a high signal, so I would not worry about the low signal at this point. You will only need 99 once D* 10 and 11 are up, then national HD will...

1. No, got my AT-9 in early Dec., no rainfade since. 2. Mine is on a pole mount, and the wind twisted the pole. I added another 50lbs. of concrete myself, and re-pointed the dish. 103 signal strength between 88 and 94 (depends on the weather) KA signal strength is MUCH higher (95+ on all 3...

I can second that on the oppo. I have had one since June, and it is great. Also oppo has been very good at fixing issues with firmware updates. Note that it is a DVI output, so you will need a dvi->hdmi cable. Here is a site that rates DVD players, and the OPPO is #1, better than $3500 Denon...

There is nothing wrong with the AT9 Dish, or the H20. I have had both in Atlanta since early December. My reception has been perfect, much better rain fade resistance than the 3LNB. Most if not all of your problems are due to poor pointing of the dish. My H20 reports a signal strength of 93...

The B-Band converter is not a filter, it is a frequency shifter. The new KA sat signals are stacked on the coax in 2 frequency bands, 1 below the KU signals, and 1 above the KU signals. The new KA band tuner in the H20 only tunes from the 'High' band KA signals. So when you want to watch a...

Its very odd that you have a good signal on 101, and ok on 119, but zero on 110. If the AT9 is lined up on 101 and 119, the others 'have' to be as well. There are only 3 active transponders on 110, and I think they are all used for HD. It sounds like you have a bad LNB on the new dish, or one...

Due to line of sight issues, some folks cant use one dish to pull in 99,101,103,110 and 119. With coax connectors on the main 99,101,103 LNB you can now install dedicated dishes for 110 and 119 and just run the coax from them into the main AT9 LNB. You could not do that with the previous...

TBI, if you are using an H20 for your signal strengths, low 80's is all you will get for the KU sats (101,110,119). The H20 will read a lower level than KU only boxes on the KU sats. But on 103, you should be in the 90's. The highest I have seen/heard of on the 103 sat is 94. As far as the...

TBI, sounds like you installed the AT9 yourself? You may want to try and peak the signal from 103. I am in the Atlanta area and I get between 88 and 94 depending on the weather. Yesterday afternoon sat 103 tp 16 was 93-94. When it is cloudy it will be 88-91. About a week after my AT-9 was...
