I've been away from FTA for a few years. I recall that Galaxy 10R (123W) used to be the place to aim a stationary dish if you wanted some local channels. I had planned on installing a 36" dish before winter hit and checked where to aim. It appears most feeds like those found on G10R are not...

Some time back I read that the now defunct VOOM satellite receivers can be used to receive OTA HD broadcasts; as long as the tuner was activated before they went under. I've been reading claims but find it hard to believe that a Dish or DirecTV satellite box can be used as a terrestrial HD...

I have a couple questions about 4DTV. I'm trying to find a replacement BUD receiver and figure I will go with a 4DTV unit. (My BUD receiver is mainly used to drive the dish mover and polarizer for my DVB receiver. Once in a while to view analog ITC feeds.) There are two main models I see; a...

Lyngsat list The Tube as being at AMC 3 87W C-Band 4036 MHz. I have the dish pointed correctly and know I'm on the right satellite. With the Traxis 3500 I can program a new version of AMC 3 for C-Band and scan for transponders. Or I can manually enter a transponder and then scan it. In...

I currently get the first season of Dr. Who via SciFi. A friend told me that the current season is being played in Canada and is available off satellite. Does anyone know if this is a FTA signal and if so, where it is located?

I'm trying to add Ku to a 7.5' mesh dish with only a C-Band feedhorn. I tried using a DirecTV LNBf but was told that these are cicular polarized and not linear polarized. So I purchased a 0.3Ku "electronic" LNBf. Even with a LINEAR 0.3Ku I'm not getting anything from G10R. I get a signal...

....or ERROR in LO frequency? Please let me know if I have an idea that won't work or if I've got something else wrong. I'm trying to setup a FTA receiver at my parents. The setup there is a mesh 7.5ft dish with C-Band only feedhorn and LNB. There is a second coax there for Ku. So here is...

I am trying to get the channels at 11,988V on Galaxy 10R. Per Lyngsat.com the parameters are: FREQ: 11,988MHz SR: 6510 I've adjusted the frequency somewhat to either side of the specified value to no avail. An older printout of this transponder lists the frequency as 11,986MHz. The...

Where do I go to download firmware off satellite for Samsung receivers? Specifically I have a Samsung DSR2700. This receiver is not covered on the Samsung website. I found a link to the manual but it was a dead link. When I inquired about the problem with the link rather than repost the...

Dish = 10' C/Ku Analog Receiver (master) = Echostar SRD 6000 FTA MPEG Receiver = Samsung DSR2700 Ku LNB = 0.6 dB C LNB = 40 degree (?) Thursday night I was trying to get a feed of the WB off of G10R from the west coast. All WB feeds I saw appeared to be east coast feeds. So I moved...

Please understand. I DO NOT want to get Dish Network on my FTA! I want to do the opposite. Is it possible to get an old DISH receiver to work with FTA signals? I'm new to MPEG receivers (just since July) but have been using BUDs for over ten years. Moderators, if this post is not...

Possible Help Please w/G10R As far as the MPEG-2 FTA I can be considered a newbie (just getting my first DVB receiver in July 2005). But I've had a 10' C/Ku band dish for over a decade. I am very good at getting things working and can usually do so without a manual. But something is biting...
