Montana PBS is now on simulcasting on Galaxy 16 (99W) at 11718 H 2390, showing a reading of 11 dB using a 1.2m dish. Signal power for PBS on G16 has also increased, now at 13.6 dB.

I'm sure most here know this, but if not, HD04 (12145 H) and HD05 (12155 H) will shut off on June 1, the same day the main 12180 V transponder moves to 99W. A scrolling ticker has been on both feeds since May 3 concerning this.

Effective during your next billing cycle in April, YouTube TV will be raising its price from $64.99 to $72.99 a month. In addition, the 4K Plus add-on will be lowering in price, going from $19.99 to $9.99 a month. Part of email I received is below: We have an important update for our members...

That worked just fine. A few copy and paste actions in Google Translate did the trick. Thanks!

Today, I saw that the "West" LED was blinking twice after both "East" and "West" LEDs flashed normally three times. I've look around, but cannot find the included manual. It's around here somewhere, but I'm not yet sure where. For the moment, is there an accessible PDF copy?

I spoke too soon. 12180 V on 125W is gone here, now jumping between 7.7 db and 8.4 db. 12145 H is 10.7 db and 12155 H is 11.1 db. A quick check of the radar shows rain at the uplink site in Alexandria, VA.

Coming in at around 16.3 dB here using a 1.2m dish. The transponder is also being simulcast on G16 (99W), but it is slightly weaker.

I was able to figure out the problem. The cause was a defective LNB. Replacing the LNB fixed the issue. I noticed that if I disconnected the cable that led from the LNB to the motor, the motor would work just fine. Connecting the cable caused the problems mentioned above to occur. I still took...

I believe I've got an extra power supply that just might work; it has 2 amps. I will also try replacing the ends of the cables to see if that helps as well. I use high quality cable with compression connectors, so hopefully replacing the ends allows me to get more use out of this cable.

I've been using the power supply that came with the Amiko Mini. It's only 1.5 amps. I didn't consider that the power supply may have been too weak. I'll check the voltage with the meter later today while I perform some more tests. I'm starting to feel some confidence that this isn't a motor...

Update: I went outside and used two new cables, one went from the LNB to the motor and the other went from the motor to the receiver. At first, the motor would turn the dish fine, but then, as the dish would move, it would start to gradually move slower until it came to a stop. There would be no...

I recently purchased an Amiko Mini H265, which arrived yesterday. I’ve been using an Amiko DM3800 motor since October 2020 and it has worked great. However, yesterday, something happened. When I connected the coaxial cable to the Amiko, everything was working fine. About 15 minutes afterward, I...

I've mainly kept my dish on 125W for PBS for years. Before July 2021, lots of PBS content was fed on their 3 feed channels: HD03 (in the 12180 V mux), HD04 (12145 H), and HD05 (12155 H). You could catch shows a few days or a few weeks before they aired on HD01 or elsewhere. I made sure to record...

I think the dispute has been settled. The ESPN channels are back and my DVR recordings of ESPN have returned. EDIT: Confirmed by YouTube TV on Twitter. View: https://twitter.com/YouTubeTV/status/1472657141789904899?s=20

I just really don't want to spend $30+ on an old analog receiver and find out C-SPAN won't come in. I've looked around on various forums and nobody has answered this particular question, to my knowledge. I should note, I’m in the 42dBW region of the footprint for 131W.

How well is reception with a 1.2m dish? I’m interested in seeing if I can receive C-SPAN with it. I do have a perfectly good 10' mesh dish, but I record TV programs with it constantly, plus I really don’t want to move it to 131W because it isn’t motorized; the 1.2m dish, however, is much easier...

My guess is because MeTV+ has only launched on Weigel stations for now. They must have some internal link. Perhaps when non-Weigel stations start to sign on, that'll be when MeTV+ shows up. All of Weigel's networks are on satellite, so surely this one will be as well. There can't be any special...

MeTV+ will be adding new affiliates on September 27th. These are all Weigel stations. These stations include: WJFB DT6 (Nashville, TN) KAZA DT3 (Los Angeles, CA) KTLN DT4 (San Francisco, CA) WCWW LD4 (South Bend, IN) KAZD DT4 (Lake Dallas - Dallas - Fort Worth, TX) KYAZ DT2 (Katy - Houston, TX)

I should also mention that 12145 H (HD04) and 12155 (HD05) are also still up. 12163 H (SD05) and 12169 H (SD06) were discontinued in July.

It seems as if PBS has effectively stopped feeding new programs via satellite. I've been monitoring HD03-HD05 for the last few years and I don't believe they've went this long without feeding a new program. Pledge programs didn't even feed this month. All of the feeds are still up, but if you're...

Not all of them, just SD05 and SD06. The rest are still up.

SD05 and SD06 are now gone. The shutdown occurred at 2:56pm ET.

SD05 and SD06 will be shut off on July 21, 2021. There is an on-screen message on both channels. "SD05/SD06 WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED ON JULY 21, 2021. As of July 21, 2021, public television services on satellites SD05/SD06 will be turned off."

Looks like the second feed of the film package happened at 2:30pm ET due to an airing on "NOVA" at 12pm.

As expected, there was a feed of APT’s film package today at 12pm on HD03. There should be one more tomorrow at the same time on the same feed. Today’s film was "Michael Collins". Tomorrow’s will be "North Country".
