Dont waste your time now. There is no channels on this sat anymore. There are two sats in this position.
Telestar 12 - Only occasional feeds now listed. All permanent channels gone/moved.
Telestar 12 Vintage - Footprint out of coverage for US. A Pan American footprint was listed but still no...
As mentioned above, the channels changed to the new DVB S2, 8PSK, MPEG4, HD , so older receivers would not get them.
Even SES2 at 87.0W that also shows PBS (Louisiana Public Broadcasting) has also changed to the new DVB S2, 8PSK, MPEG4
I get all transponders on 58W using an Amiko A3 and a 36 in dish with a USUAL motor. As per Lyngsat the first few transponders on the Mexican sat is DVB S2 Mpeg4 , so this might explain why you might not be receiving all transponders on this sat. I am in West Palm Beach and get this sat at 80%...
I had previously used USAL to move my motor and encounter this problem. Although this is quick and easy, I discovered going back to Diseqc 1.2 would fix the problem of fine tunining.
I have a 6 foot dish in Florida and can get from 12W to 133W.
I used a dual C/ku lnb with Teflon insert for circular polarized sats. All ku sats including the Caribbean footprints come in almost 100%. The newer receivers have better gain/stability. Currently using Amiko A3 for Mpeg2/4...
I received the survey earlier this year with 3 x$1 bills attached.
I called up and went through a survey about members in my home, TV s, etc
They will then mail you every month a blank notepad to fill in shows, time, how you rate the shoes, etc
In exchange you accumulate points to get junk...
I have been experimenting for the last 20 years with dishes from 4 to 10 feet, LNBs, and receivers.
Some things to note when trying to receive DVB S2/8PSK:
1. The satellite footprint for your area and the signal strength. Intelsats have a weaker signal strength for US. Locations.
2. The...
I had a previous 6 footer back in 2011 when I bought a Fortec from Sadoun for $360. Attached is pics from my previous 6 foot dish. My cable run was 150 ft. Attached is old pics of my previous setup until I moved due to a divorce, to show the polar mount. I prefer a 6 footer here in Florida. If...
There have been several request on this site where can someone purchase an economical C band dish.
I found this 6ft dish on EBay
http://m.ebay.com/itm/1-8-Meter-180cm-Satellite-Dish-Antenna-C-Ku-Band-Dishnetwork-/171882555893?nav=SEARCH
and decided to purchase.
I bought it for $150, but the...
The A3 has a very sensitive tuner and responds quickly. I finally set up my 36 in Geosat Pro dish , Stab motor with the A3 last night I can get 30W to 129W even wider arc if I can figure out the electrical limits settings on the motor.
I switched out my A3 with my Coolsat 5000 to compare. I...
Most of FTA radio content can be accessed on mobile phones from their FTA websites, unless it is a paid service. You can then stream the content to your car radio.
some apps like Tune In allow you to listen to HD Radio content by US States, without actually haven't to buy an HD radio
I'm going to make it sort of portable. But basically a slab with struts for support in a concrete through 5x5 ft base (HOA)I'm in West Palm Beach and I need only 12 to 116 for my arc.
I believe this would be my 18th installation moving different homes in NY, Tampa, Ft Lauderdale, and now WPB
Well I had a pleasant experience today with them.
Firstly there's no one out there that have new C band dishes above 4ft in stock or for sale. There one or two vendors charging +$1000 and high shipping rates.
I opted to make an offer on Ebay for the 8 footer that was running $275.
I made an...
I have used my Iphone 4 with Dishpointer app, for several years. There is a free version for Iphone and a $20 version. I think from trying the rest of apps, this app is the best. I can choose whichever sats I want in the database, and just hold up my phone in camera mode and it shows me the...
You loose signal with the linear, however you will notice that most of the transponders that you received was the really high signal ones but at reduced level. The same applies using a circular to receive linear. You will get the stronger linear transponders. As mentioned above depending on the...
Thanks for the heads up. I spoke to the guy in Miami. The dish sufferred some damages during the last hurricanes that came through. There are at least one missing panel/bent frame. He also have this mounted on a pole 15 ft high, which would be interesting to remove (weighs 120 lbs minimum)...
Thanks I will look into that. However the BBC World News was running all day on Intelsat 9 58W as a new addition on 58W , but from another site, it went off the following day.
Lyngsat is now showing BBC News World on Intelsat 9 58W on 4165H 3617 3/4 showing in the clear as a new channel/transponder. I could not get it on my AZBOX even though all other transponders are very strong.
This was just added to Lyngsat. Don't know if it was a typo. Would be great news if...
