    Edision Edison Mio Has No Signal

    Hi all, I noticed yesterday morning that I no longer have any signal showing up on my Edison Mio STB. I slowly lost all H and V signals on 105w C Band. I first lost horizontal feeds, but still had verticaI. I then moved to 97w kU since with my sidecar set up, these 2 satellites are close...

    ZNS Bahamas

    Hi All, Was wondering when ZNS left 87w. Moved to 87w to do an updated scan and noticed it was gone. Is it elsewhere or did it leave satellite altogether ? John

    5g Issue Solved

    Hi All, Just a quick note to let those interested know that Titanium’s C138 lnbf did as promised and my 5g interference is now gone on the 4156 mux on 99w. I actually have a stronger signal. That may be due to a better alignment of the lnbf. ; ) As always, the delivery from Titanium was...

    Titanium Satellite ASC1 Suddenly Stopped Working

    Hi All, This evening I attempted to move from one satellite to another only to find my dish wouldn’t move in either direction. Earlier in the day all was fine. The screen lights up and using the remote, I can go thru all the menu options. When I try to move the dish east or west there is...

    ABC Color PY

    Hi all, In my new search for 58W, I scanned this “channel” in where I thought I’d find 58W. Its located at 4173V 2500 and its coming in at 7.2 dB. One other channel labelled LGCCC TV Is coming in on 4139 H 4543. Where am I ? Thanks in advance. John *Update* I may be on 61W, but not sure..

    CTV Leaving Satellite ?

    Hi all, Several other satellite sites are reporting that CTV, MAY be leaving C Band for good in favor of streaming. Only CTV Atlantic and Vancouver remain on 119W. Its well known that CTV’s parent company (Bell Media) is facing financial difficulties. I’ve missed it since it moved from AnikF1...

    Edision Ku Lnbf Settings

    Hi all, Yesterday I lost all ku signals for no apparent reason. I left the house with 103ku on the classical music channel…. keeps my dog calm when I’m out of the house. All was working well with a 12.5 dB reading. I came home in the afternoon to find no signal on that satellite or any other ku...

    Hi All, Not that I’m complaining, but what purpose does it serve for NBC to keep their weather sensitive Ku feeds ? John

    Edision Edision Mio Configuration Issue

    Hi All, I’m having an issue with my Edision Mio not letting me configure 113W C Band. All other satellites I have no issues with. I checked the settings several times and they match my other C Band settings. I tried rebooting the stb, but still have this issue. Any ideas ?? Thanks in advance...

    Drop In Strength on NBC 103ku

    Hi all, Has anyone else noticed a drop in signal strength on the NBC 103 ku feed (11760H 29998) ? Until yesterday I received this mux with a 11.1 - 11.3 db reading. Now its 9.8 - 10.1 db. All other frequencies, both H and V are coming in normally on this satellite Thanks in advance. John.

    99w Caribbean Mux

    Hi all, Anyone else noticing a drop in strength with the Caribbean mux? Usually for me, the dB strength is 11.2-11.4. The past few days its been 7.3-7.4 dB. All other transponders on this satellite are coming in with their normal strength. John

    Enjoy 107w While It Lasts

    Hi all, Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the CTV mux was transitioned over to 119w today. This probably means that 107w’s time is coming to an end for most of us. I read there is other work in store for this satellite, but most of us will be unable to view its new “occupation.” I’m...

    Can’t Find 58w or 55w

    Hi all, Doing some satellite dx-ing today and for the life of me, I can’t find 58w and 55w. I get 87w with the Bahama’s mux at 11.5. I tried finding these two satellites by hooking up my SH 300HD to the coax that goes into my stb (Edision Mio). I got a strong reading for 58w with the sat...

    Thunderstorm Preparation

    Hi all, I was just wondering what safeguards, if any you take in advance of an approaching Thunderstorm. Personally, I unplug the powerstrip that powers my stb (edision mio) and my dish mover (ASC 1). BTW...my dish is grounded also. John

    107w Transition To 119w ?

    Hi all, It looks like the transition away from 107w might have begun. This satellite is scheduled to be shut down in August. Both Canadian weather networks have moved to 119w. If CTV follows suit, this will be the end of Canadian programming for me as I cant see below 113w. John

    NBC On 105w

    Hi all, The current NBC mux on 105w 3780 was supposed to go off air at the end of last month. The new 5g location for the NBC mux on this satellite, (4140) is Biss encrypted and has been so since it went up. Anyone here know as to whether this encryption remains, after 3780 goes silent ? We’re...

    OTHER ASC Remote Not Working

    Hi All, Tonight while moving from 105w to 101w, my ASC1 remote stopped working. I tried changing out several sets of batteries, all of which worked in my other devices. It still didnt move my dish, except for an occasional jump east or west, if I hit the buttons several times. The remote also...

    Decrease in dB Strength On 107w

    Hi all, Has anyone noticed a decrease in signal (dB) strength on 107w ? In the past I received the CTV mux with a 14.1 dB signal. Now its between 12.3 to 12.6. All the other sats are coming in normally, with 105w being a bit stronger. I thought it might be weather related at their source, but...

    Asc1 Not Moving West

    Hi All, Well here we go just in time for the winter months and my dish mover is acting up. Last night after watching NBC on 105w I went to move the dish to 107w and i got the dreaded motor error message. After checking the connections at the asc1 itself, I went out and checked the connections...

    Edision Strange Issue With Edision Mio STB

    Hi all, Yesterday I was rescanning some satellites and after rescanning 87w, my screen went dark and a message appeared on my TV saying there was no input coming from my stb. The stb hadn’t frozen up and numbers appearing on the edision screen paged up and down freely. I tried a cold reboot...

    Satellite dB Strength

    Hi All, It’s a good day here on Cape Cod to do some dish tweaking. I was wondering what some of my fellow Dish owners in the Northeast (for location accuracy) are getting for dB readings on some satellites. This will help me determine if my dish is working to its full potential. I’m just...
