    Where did all the PBS channels go?

    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

    Is The NBC MUX still around??

    Has nothing to do with your set up. These transponders will come on for a few days and switch on and off depending on network capacity.

    Sky Mexico

    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%...

    Sur Peru

    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...

    C-band dish size for DVB-S2/8PSK

    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...

    40.5 W on a Linear LNB?

    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...
