How can I listen to the AC-3 audio on the PBS stations? I have a Sony surround sound receiver, If I hook up the sat receiver to the Sony receiver, should I be able to have success. It does have dolby surround.

Basically, I am more after the process of getting the show/program onto a DVD, lets forget about the quality at this time. I am interested in IA5 mainly, and needed to know the process of getting a show onto a DVD. I have a few computers to work with, but mainly an IBM thinkpad T42 (Centrino M...

Good morning, I am fairly new to FTA, I have a motorized setup which works great. My question is, I have a windows based and even an Apple laptop that I would like to hook up to my satellite/receiver system. What will I need? Or is this even possible. I plan on recording some shows through...

Awesome, finally I will be able to pick up one of the major networks. G10 is currently blocked by my next door neighbor's house :( . Do you know if there are any other TPs on other Sats other than G10 that has any of the major networks for Ku band?

PSB, or anyone for that matter, is KUIL-TV FTA(AMC-4)? According to LyngSat it is clear(DVB) but does not have an "F" indicating that it is free. Will I be able to pick this TP with my Fortec Classic box? Thanks,

Ahh, perfect seems I should explore my remote more :p Thanks for the info

Although new to the hobby, I am totally addicted. My wife on the other hand. . . just needs time. I also got my father-in-law and sister-in-law hooked as well ;) "Now to figure out a way to brainwash the wife :rolleyes:

So does that mean that when they launch the new sat, we won't have access to G10 for some time? If so, generally how long is it usually. . . days? weeks? months? eeek Years?

And here I was getting worked up on the fact the AMC East might actually be free :( Oh well, at least I have Scarface on DVD :D

That may be the real question that I need to know, how do you switch between each sat without having to scan in all the TPs. Thanks,

So I was on LyngSat's website and came across Anik F1R at 107.3W and see that there are a few channels on there that are apparently digital/clear for KU. For example: AMC East Access Knowledge Network Am I reading this correctly or are they not available for FTA. I have not done a...

This might be a question for anyone with a Fortec receiver. Anytime I move from satellite to satellite, do I need to download all the tps? I have two Fortec Classics and it just seems like a pain to go from AMC 3 to IA5 and scan in all the Tps everytime. Please tell me that I am not doing this...

It kinda seems like as soon as you open the gate on the back side of the yard, you will fall 20-30 feet to street below :D

Does anyone have any information on what Tps will be included with the launch of Galaxy 17 (late 2006) which is supposed to replace G10R at 123W? I assume there should be the same content, since it is supposed to "replace" the older model satellite. I also take it that this would be also the...

Has anyone else encountered this before on AMC 3? Whenever I try to scan this sat, for some reason, I can only get MTA international and WYDN-TV even on different TPs. I am doing something wrong that I can not get the PBS stations.

Woohoo. After what seemed like a lifetime of a struggle (especially since the Wife breathes down my neck) to finally get the motor to work, I got my motor/dish perfectly aligned to get all the sats. I want to thank all the nice folks here who helped me to get this working and give me the nerve...

From East to West How about the other way around? I am in Virginia (far east coast). What is farthest west satellite anyone's been able to get a strong signal from. I am having a problem getting higher than 30% for G10R.

I have not tried that yet, but will give it a shot when I get home tonight. Thanks,

I have a Fortec DUAL Output Universal KU LNBF (FSKU-2v) and had the antenna setup on "Uni" but still nothing.

I hooked up the second receiver (Classic NA) yesterday and get "no channels" on the display menu. The line is directly connected from the LNB (Dual fortec) to the receiver. My other receiver is connected to the motor and is currently on IA5 with no problems. I was under the assumption that I can...

If you have a motorized setup (with blindscan receiver), do you still have to know the different TPs? Is there any particular moment where you will have to manually put in the information.

Gary, According to Satfinder that is the elevation for AMC5 (my TS sat) from my location. PSB, where did you find 51° to be my motor elevation. I would like to know the source so that I can use that as well for future references.

Since my satellite (79) is a couple of degrees off of my longitude (77), should I be pointing my motor to 77 and move the dish over to 79?

without the motor I seem to be ok with aiming to some of satellites, just not having any luck when I install the Digipower SG2100. I have been all over the place with elevations, azimuths etc. I have been going over alot of material and some places have different settings from each other. If...

I have a fortec Dual universal LNBF (FSKU-2v) going into my digipower SG-2100 motor and then into my receiver. At the moment I have only one Classic NA receiver and another on the way. Since there is only one connection on the motor for one LNB, is it safe to say that the second receiver has to...
