    Is Hitting the Correct Transponder Rocket Science?

    I did a factory reboot and reloaded the GT Loader on the Pansat because I wasn't having success. Having done that got a B-70 error on the box and thought the flash rom memory chip was fried. At this point I was pretty pissed and hooked the receiver up anyway, crawled back up on the roof and...

    Is Hitting the Correct Transponder Rocket Science?

    Well it gets weirder. I disconnected the switcher and hooked up the dish direct to my receiver and did a blind scan as some of the TP's were showing a quality signal. What shows up is ITV1 and ITV5 weather programming from Canada and no IA5? Well according to the installer he locked this...

    Is Hitting the Correct Transponder Rocket Science?

    The bad news is he was not able to hit the bird without the "birddog meter." The good news is there was no charge! Now I know he was able to hit Telstar 5 even without the "birddog" as the signal meter went up to 82%, we just couldn't get the quality meter to budge on any of the sats he...

    Is Hitting the Correct Transponder Rocket Science?

    Just asking as I have had a satellite installer up on my roof now for an hour and a half and counting trying to lock in Telstar 5. Have a signal reading but no quality on my Pansat. He's telling me hitting the transponder within the IA5 satellite "is like trying to find a needle" inside a...

    Canadian programming on FTA?

    I see many people are getting Starchoice, Bell South etc. Direc Tv programming from Canada. Didn't think subscribing was legal for US customers? The only thing I can receive is some Canadian radio stations off of 101W with my FTA receiver and 18' dish? I would subscribe to direc tv off of...

    High Definition Radio Stations

    Hard to believe the audio quality from the new "HD Radio Receivers" is going to be any better than some of the broadcasts I'm already receiving direct from satellite.

    High Definition Radio Stations

    According to the manufacturers of HD Radio Receivers, there is indeed a difference. How much better the audio quality is in reality remains to be seen. Or is that heard? http://www.ibiquity.com/hdradio/hdradio_hdstations.htm

    High Definition Radio Stations

    Interesting. I have been listening to some Canadian rock stations direct off satellite (101 W) and the audio quality of some of these stations is excellent (OZ-FM especially.) My XM radio doesn't hold a candle to some of these canadian stations. If it's not a higher bandwidth signal...

    Whatever happened to SACD and DVD-Audio?

    I really enjoy SACD and DVD-Audio but it seems new releases are few and far between these days. Why hasn't the industry been more supportive of these formats and put more money into marketing them? It seems these formats are fading... :(
