    Patient Channel 87w

    Looks like we are losing the Patient Channel from satellite. The channel has been at 87w (if not longer) since I first got into FTA back in 2006. The following screen shot I captured moments ago has been up for a couple of days, at least. Anyhow, it appears to me that the message is definitely...

    Reach TV (103w Ku) changes?

    Turned on Reach TV (12145 V 19996) on 103w and was surprised to see something very different from their usual showings. Currently, what is on the channel is CW Sports showing LIV golf live. Don't have any idea whether this is a change in channels, or programming, or what.

    15 Years Ago Today

    Fifteen years ago today I took the plunge (obviously into the deep end) of FTA! I bought and installed my first dish and receiver (Pansat 3500SD) and pointed it (naturally, at the time) at G10R at 123w for the Equity muxes. Naturally, it took a while to install, it helped when I finally...

    ABC NewsOne mux 91W

    Just saw a slate announcing (and confirming information in previous threads) that ABC NewsOne mux will end on February 28th. No extension this time. Very sad to see it go, enjoyed their feeds.

    RTVE and REVN Gone From 97W

    Title says it all. The slot for REVN has been replaced by another channel, and RTVE's slot no longer scans in.

    Montana PBS Cure

    Many of us have experienced problems while trying to receive a stable Montana PBS that doesn't do a SQ 75 (or whatever) to 0 dance causing pixelation, freeze-ups, etc. Most recently posted here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/270748-montana-pbs-impossible-catch.html (see my...

    Has SCETV Left 63W Early?

    While I know they are leaving July 31st, I have not been getting anything on 11960 V 4856 since at least yesterday afternoon. However, I am still getting the SCETV colour bars at 11951 V 2068 (which never has been as strong as the mux on 11960, and sometimes don't get it, whereas 11960 has...

    SCETV on 63 West

    Either they have replaced the batteries, or got a new hamster (the usual jokes), but their signal has been boosted! In the year and a half that I have been pointed at the satellite I have never seen such high levels. Normally, it usually hovers around 30 on the Pansat (which occasional brief...

    LNB Blinder (Interference Reduction)

    I am in very good area for AMC4 (101) (EIRP of at least 50) so am able to get very good signal quality on all FTA channels. This is with an LNB which is six degrees off centre on a 60e dish. The lowest is 45 (threshold on a Pansat is usually around 30 for most channels) and a lot are quite a bit...

    Three Years Ago Today...

    ... I took the plunge into FTA and setup my first dish (on then G10R - 123). I still can remember the great joy (and probably even greater relief) when I finally found my first signal (even if it was the wrong satellite)! Of course, at the time I didn't realise the very, very, addictive...

    Uenss (kuen) Amc-5

    There is a notice on the mux that they are ceasing satellite broadcast at the end of the month. Don't know whether this means KUEN will also disappear from the satellite as well, or just the distance learning channels. Went to their website and the only information listed was they have converted...

    EMP Centauri 8 x 1 (GOTO nn switch)

    For background information, when I first got into this so-called hobby back in May of 2006, I bought universal LNBs at first, not knowing (or even imagining) that in about six months time I'd have three dishes and eight LNBs. As I needed more space on my DiSEqC switch, I'd replace a universal...

    Laughing At Myself

    Decided to move one of my dishes today back along the wall about seven or eight inches to get it farther away from my Star Choice dish, just in case it was blocking some signals. (see attached photo for setup prior to move, the middle dish was moved). So as I begin to tear down the dish...
