    Kudos to Iceberg

    Iceberg also helped me many times with my setup, without him and other people here, it would take much LONGER for me to have my system setup and going. Before that, I always thought LO means LOW, it was Iceberg that gave me the correct info, and that leads to images showing up on my TV...

    news feeds and reciever without bland search

    Thanks! I thought scanning was a one time deal. :) I guess it is best for me to fine tune my dish to get channels on G10R tp1, which is really hard.

    news feeds and reciever without bland search

    Thanks Ice, Seems not a good idea to aim to IA6. How do you guys do it? blind search for channels before watching TV every time?

    news feeds and reciever without bland search

    news feeds and reciever without blind search Hi Guys, I could not get any tp1 channels on G10R no matter what I try, so I thought maybe I should try some new things and get the news feeds on IA6. But, my receiver, Kusat 2600pro, does not have blind search, and the channel listings for the...

    Canadians, what's the minimum I need?

    I am in Calgary, I have a 30" Winegard, everything else is fine, but tp1 on G10R is too weak for my setup.

    The Tube and WPXS

    Is the tube on WPXS? I could not watch any of the channels on G10R tp1, but no problems with channels on tp5. I thought The Tube is on tp1? but I can get it on WPXS, strange?

    I wish I could help. :) I connect it to my TV using the Audio/Video cable, and it works fine. I will try to connect it through the coax cable tonight and report back.

    Pcr V-pid A-pid

    Hi Guys, What is a PCR? I am trying to manually set some channels on my Kusat 2600Pro receiver. It asks for three PIDs, PCR, Video and Audio. I could not find where to find this PCR pid, on the http://www.lyngsat.com site, it does not show the PCR number. Any ideas? Thanks! Suibu

    Singal levels on G10R

    And why there are many channels showing the same program? Tonight, about ~10 channels show a program called Confessions?

    Singal levels on G10R

    Another observation is: even different channels on the same tp1 seem have different signal level? Say for on CBS channel on tp1, sometimes I get it, sometimes I lose it, when I lose it, I can get some other channels on tp1...

    Singal levels on G10R

    Thanks guys! Your help are much appreciated. This morning, I "fine tuned" my dish -- I took a small TV on my deck and while I was on the roof adjusting the dish, I "watched" the signal meter on TV, very frustrated in deed. All channels on Tp5 show full-bar (97-99 on Kusat), so I used the...

    Singal levels on G10R

    Hi, I am using a 30" dish, Kusat 2600 receiver, and I am aiming at G10R, I got some channels but not all of them. I got channels from tp1, but quality is only 50-60%, but at the same time (without changing anything, including dish elvation/azimuth, LNBF skew) channels from tp5 are all at...

    18" DSS dish and LNBF work for FTA?

    I now seem to understand it a little bit better, the reason I can receive NASA or Gol is because these Sat transmits signal "circular" way, and my LNBF on the DSS dish is a circular LNBF. This DSS/LNBF would not work for other Linear sats, such as IA 5 or G10R, and my 30" dish with a linear...

    18" DSS dish and LNBF work for FTA?

    Thanks Ken2400, I will read your posts... an update: I was tired of watching NASA :p, so I re-aimed the 18" dish and now I got 2 Gol channels. Will they live broadcast Worldcup in 2006 on Gol TV? :)

    18" DSS dish and LNBF work for FTA?

    Iceberg, you are the King. :) I now get NASA, although right now, it only shows some star pictures with no sound, and sometimes, a guy bicycling around the country kicks in, I don't know if this is a normal NASA program or not. The only other TV channel I got is Dish-network PPV preview...

    18" DSS dish and LNBF work for FTA?

    Thanks Iceberg, The monment I saw your reply, I went out and bought the dish and LNBF for $3 Canadian (i shamelessly bargained it down to 3 :p) I connected it to my receiver, and got nothing now. The settings I have for this dish is: Echo 119, Normal LNBF (10750, 10750) And for tp6...

    18" DSS dish and LNBF work for FTA?

    I went to a garage sale today (I know, I am cheap :)), and this gentleman is selling a DSS 18" round dish with mounting support and a LNBF for $5 Canadian, I did not know if it works with FTA or not, so I did not buy it. But after I went home, I did a search on the forum, and found out that...

    24" StarChoice dish and G10R?

    I think I should change my 60% figure... I noticed that the signal from G3 was not stable so I took a look at the dish and the elvation was set to 27 (should be 28.9 for my place), and I ajusted it to 29, now I got 100% quality -- full yellow bar. so it is really strong. :)

    24" StarChoice dish and G10R?

    I think 60 maybe? the yellow bar is a little more than half way. The 30" dish gave me almost full yellow bar. But I think the image quality is very good, I dont see jetted lines, no jumpy images, I don't see any differences between the images from 24" dish and 30"... but of course I am...

    24" StarChoice dish and G10R?

    ultatryon, I successfully connect to G3R using the 24" StarChoice dish and the dual LNBF that was attached to the dish. As you said, the signals on G3R are quite strong. I then re-direct my 30" dish to G10, and got quite a lot channels, although some of then are duplicated. I am happy, and I...

    What is a feed?

    Thanks lilyarbie, for writing such detailed reply, now I got it. I still have one question though :) How do I receive a feed? If I do a sat scan, can the receiver pick it up and assign it a channel number? I mean, do they usually have a fixed freq? (well, that is 3 questions... :)) Thanks!

    24" StarChoice dish and G10R?

    Thanks ultatryon! If the 24" dish can pick up CCTV channels from G3, then I can use the 30" to receive G10R, as long as the parents have CCTV, I can watch others. :) I will try it as soon as the rain stops! Suibu
