What is the best way to get international sports? I am really interested in watching Rugby!

I am watching the Ryder Cup on NBC HD but every 10 minutes or so the signal gets all goofy. Really ruins it for me. I am trying to determine if this is something that is going on with NBC's signal. My local station (WPXI in Pittsburgh) or on my cable system. Can someone watching this OTA...

Just want to make sure I am reading the charts right. Could someone verify that ESNE TV on SatMex 5 on tp17 12024 H is fta? I notice that some channels don't have the red F but everything else looks to like it should be FTA. Am I right or am I reading the chart wrong.

I was messing around and found some web sites about these guys who pull in TV signals from FAR FAR away. Anyone here ever mess around with doing that? What kind of equipment did you use? Just wondering. sounds like an interesting hobby.

I have read in several places the need for ac-3 audio. Is this something that is handled by most receivers or is this something extra? Could someone please explain to me how it works? Thanks!!!

Is there any Catholic and/or Eastern Orthodox on SA? FTA in general? I know about EWTN but it doesn't seem to be on SA. I posted this at the end of another post but I thought it might get buried there so I started the new thread. If a moderator wants to remove it I would not be mad...

My brother lives in Erie PA. Now we heard a rumor that with a good antenna we could get stations from Toronto. Is this true? We checked antennaweb and nothing showed up. But then I thought maybe they did not show non US stations. It would be sweet to get some extra free networks at his...

I have a 50" Samsung DLP TV for about 2 years. It started, about a month ago, making this crazy high pitched sound. What the Heck is that?!?!?! It comes and goes a little but is mostly there. Anyone ever here of this? Can it be fixed?

Can anyone recommend a good indoor HD antenna for my local digital stations? Thanks!!!!!!!!

I was messing around on one of the web sites where you can buy books and I found this "The World of Satellite Television" by Mark Long. It looked ok but is kind of old. There were some others too but nothing neewer than this one from 1998. Can any one comment on this or any other books that I...

Has anyone ever gotten Atlantic Bird 1 at 12.5? How about Express A3 at 11? Just want to know what is possible to reach and what isn't.

I have read the reviews for both the FORTEC STAR LIFETIME CLASSIC NA and the FORTEC STAR Mercury II. It seems that the Classic is the one to buy. Would anyone who has experience or knows about both of these agree? Also, this may be a really dumb question but I am assuming that if you know...

I see a lot about 4:2:2. I believe that this is the HD standard and 4:2:0 is the normal digital standard. It seems HD is getting more and more popular. Are there any receivers that do both 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. Or do I have this completely messed up?

Anyone know what will be on Galaxy 16? I read it will have 24 Ku and 24 C transponders.

I see a lot about skew on here? Can someone explain that for me? Thanks

What is the future for FTA? Is this technology going to go away in the future? How long do you think it will be around? Or do you see it getting bigger than it is now? I am curious...I think this is one of the greatest things I have ever found. I thought having a satellite dish when I was...

I am totally fascinated with some of the channels I see on lyngsat. I don't have my own FTA system yet :( I was hoping that someone may have watched these and is willing to tell me about them. Channel 2 on Telestar12 MedSat Sport on PAS3 CCTV9 - is this a FTA Ku channel. If I had a...

Can I get the FTA radio stations with the same equipment that I would need for FTA TV? Or do I need something special or dfferent

One of the appeals to this hobby, for me, is the possibility of getting some good sports feeds. I would love to see non-USA sports. (I also would love to get USA stuff too) Has anyone ever seen Euro League Basketball? What is the best sport feed anyone has ever seen? Are there any...

What makes a good line of sight? How far do things have to be away? I have no idea. Could someone please let me know? Thanks!

I am 30 years old and when I was in high school we got a 15 - 20 minute daily news program called channel 1. It had Anderson Cooper (before CNN), Lisa Ling (pre-view) and another girl who went to MTV (Serena something). Anyone remember that? Can you pick it up anywhere? I see that there is...

What is the difference between a feed and a backhaul? Is there one? Are they all in the clear or are some scrambled? I would imagine there are interesting things coming in from Israel right now. I would love to watch sports we don't get in USA. Like soccer, cricket, anything...

lyngsat shows a Sam's Club channel on Amazonas at 61.0°W. This channel is listed as "in the clear". This is totally interesting to me. Anyone have any idea what this is? Are there others like it? Thanks!

I have been doing a ton of research on FTA stuff but there are some questions I can not find answers to. What is the difference between LNBs? I see there are universal LNBs, Linear LNBs, Circular LNBs, all kinds of options. I want to be able to get as many FTA channels as possible. I...
