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...

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...

Currently can receive Simon Bolivar 78W on 6 ft dish. Can get 11379H 23000 sig 66 on Coolsat 4000 (Scans in 6 channels). Live soccer on one channel. The 11504 V 3000 sig 70 is a bit higher ( 1 channel scans in) Tried yesterday on 3 footer dish but signal was only 63, and could not lock...

All Ku & C-band Setanta Sports feeds (scrambled/unscrambled on all sats) will be shutting off March 1st 2010, covering the US and Caribbean Area. Currently on AMC4 (101W) message is scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Looks like they will continue to broadcast in Europe, etc sats. Dish...

I have attached a standardized chart regarding the size of pipe used for mounting. It is usually not clear what size pipe should be used for mounting. Example. If you are looking to polar mount the standard Fortec Star 6 ft C/Ku dish, many experts/installers call for a schedule 40 3.0 diameter...

I got a previously subscribed 4DTV receiver Motorola 920 from my in-laws (was subbed 5 years back). I plugged the unit in and I can get the id number (battery not dead) and view analog channels (RAI Italy on 103W). I would like to view some of the clear channels like Blackbelt TV on AMC1 at...

I have a DMX741U lnb on my 6 ft dish. It receives C and Ku. To get circular signals on NSS7/NSS806 I need to put in the dielectric plate. This causes major signal degradation on linear sats. I would like to get an lnb that can receive both linear/circular signals the same time without...

Currently viewing River Broadcasting on Galaxy 19 97W on 11966H. It is supposed to be a religious channel, but they are showing old b&w movies(english) similiar to White Springs TV.

I stumbled upon this PDF showing downlink freqs of ABC News and wildfeeds, especially handy as the weather gets worst up north/some of you get bored over the holidays and want to search for news wildfeeds.

Just saw on Lyngsat that Intelsat 14 was parked at 47 West. It is going to replace Intelsat 1R at 45 West. It will carry linear C and Ku band signals. Expect some outages(transponders) on this sat as the transistion occurs. "Intelsat 14, to be located at 45 degrees West longitude, will be the...

I saw a thread back in Sep 2009 saying that this channel Blackbelt TV on AMC1 103W on 3800H went scrambled. I need to move my 6 footer (ghetto mounted) over and was wondering if it is still showing clear as Lyngsat has it listed. I remembered Iceberg mentioning that this channel was difficult to...

Sorry don't know where this should be posted. Is there any Retro TV network feeds online for viewing. I was surprised here in Ft lauderdale/Miami that all network in the area does not show it, especially with the big Retro audience (over several million viewers), not to mention the other couple...

Pics of my Fortec FC06-P Kit from Sadoun. I used a DMX741U with insert for reception of NSS806 55.5W Temporary installed on a temporary stand made by using 4 pieces of 2x4 ($16 @ Home Depot). I used a regular tripod and mast. Screws had to be centered on the mast because of smaller pipe...

I need to setup a 24in actuator jack to a 6 ft polar mounted dish. How many degees on the satellite arc can it pick up? I recalled using an 18 in actuator that gave about 90 degrees coverage. I am hoping to cover 22W to 129W. Thanks.

I don't know if this belongs in this forum. Lyngsat has updated to show Venesat 1 at 78 degrees with new FTA channels in the KU band 11302H and 11624 H. It shows "beam" as coverage area. Anyone in the southern states or Caribbean picking this up?
