    Is Radio Shack hopeless for this hobby, or is it just mine?

    My local Radio Shack is about two blocks away from my house. If I need something right away, I check the Radio Shack website and see if what I'm looking for is in-stock at my local Radio Shack. I write down the RS part number and walk on over. I've never had a problem. Hopefully, it won't be...

    F1 live feeds

    http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/11/full-schedule-for-formula-1-on-nbc-sports/ Four F1 races are scheduled for NBC, two for CNBC and the rest for NBC Sports Network. There was a feed for Globo on Intelsat 805 for the Australian GP. I didn't find anything for the Malaysian GP.

    Rural TV

    When I checked it a few days ago, it was in FP mode. But you would need a commercial DCII receiver such as Digitrans DTE 7150 to view it.

    Rural TV

    Rural TV merged with FamilyNet at the beginning of the year. FamilyNet/Rural TV is distributed in the Olympusat DCII combo mode mux on Galaxy 23.

    Is PRESS TV GONE ON 97w??? Can someone please check because I dont get it anymore..

    This reminds me of Al-Manar and the guy that uplinked it on Amazonas (remember Tom and Jerry?). He was arrested by the FBI. http://www.tvtechnology.com/news/0110/fbi-raids-backyard-international-teleport-in-staten-island/191696 I wonder how long it will be before the FBI visits the current...

    Satellite Launch in just a few minutes...

    I watched the Arainespace webcast broadcast and didn't notice anything unusual. Thankfully, everything went according to plan and the launch was successful, unlike the Intelsat 27 fiasco.

    More HD is here!

    Sundance HD is not available yet from AMC Networks. Their HD distribution mux on Galaxy 14 only shows AMC HD, Fuse HD, WE HD and IFC HD at this time. Their SD distribution mux on Galaxy 15 includes Sundance East and West in SD. Dish can't add it in HD until AMC Networks provide it to them.

    Echostar 16 at 61.5W

    Shouldn't these be 61.8, 61.6 and 61.5?

    SES 3

    SES 3

    It appears that SES 3 will finally replace AMC 1. SES has applied to the FCC to replace AMC 1 with SES 3. The application has not been approved yet, but SES has asked for expedited authority so I think they want to begin transition soon. Also, the filing indicates that ku on SES 3 will not be...

    soap opera.

    I found a prefeed of Days of Our Lives in one of the NBC muxes on AMC 1. AMC 1 11840 H 30000 CH17 NBC Occasional It aired at 12:00 AM PDT. It had national commercials, but no local commercials.

    bein Sport HD channel request

    I'd like to request that BeinSports actually shoot some of the games in true HD instead of badly upconverting PAL SD feeds to HD. Attached is a screenshot from their Galaxy 23 HD mux. It's got to be the worst HD I've ever seen. Only the logo is sharp.

    bein Sport HD channel request

    I agree that Echostar rents out their space on Echostar 9 to others, but BEinSports is leasing transponder space on Galaxy 23 which is C band. I do believe that Intelsat controls the C band portion of the satellite (Galaxy 23) and Echostar controls the Ku band portion of the satellite (Echostar 9).

    I think they would be leasing space from Intelsat, not Echostar, as they are on Galaxy 23 not Echostar 9.

    Modifying the LNBs on a DIRECTV AU9 (Slimline) dish for 18-degree spacing

    If that is the five lnbf, I've played with it. I discarded the 110 and 119 part and just used the 99/101/103 lnbf. I wanted to see what was up there on KA band. My experiments weren't too successful though. Directv uses a strange setup for lnbf switching. I got a B band converter, but still...

    Here is the link; Galaxy 23 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It's somewhat outdated. I don't think they use Echostar 9 for International channels on a Super Dish anymore.

    bein Sport HD channel request

    A beINSport mux has recently started broadcasting on Galaxy 23. There are two channels in the mux, both showing the same programming at this time. It's H.264 4:2:0 HD 1920x1080i. But the current program is obviously upconverted and stretched 4x3 SD material.

    Archaic credit card update process

    Most companies I've dealt with charge $1.00 on the credit card to verify it. The charge shows up as pending and is removed before it is actually posted as a transaction. I don't know why Dish doesn't do this. I had to change my credit card a couple of times with Dish. The first time I had to...

    Non-subbed 622 and OTA channels

    Yes. In my neighborhood, I can choose Directv or Xfinity. Uverse was supposed to be in the neighborhood, but apparently it's too far away from the headend and service was unreliable so they no longer offer it. Dish did offer to pay for AMC original programming episodes using my Roku. But I...

    Non-subbed 622 and OTA channels

    Both the website account and the Dish customer service rep I spoke to confirm that the 622 was owned/purchased. When Dish switched from Mpeg 2 to Mpeg 4, they first offered me a leased receiver and I refused it.
