I have a taker! Thanks everyone for your comments. This ends my ventures into FTA and starts with DISH which has been pretty poor so far. It seems that the 118.7 satellite is not well known in my neighborhood. The dealer has learned lots on my time - started Tuesday and maybe by tomorow I...

Thanks for the compliment and interest, but I am not really into FTA - My wife is German and I have been looking at DW-tv for about ten years. Started with ananlog in North Carolina, then came to Florida and switch to digital. Live in restricted community and my house will not let me look to...

I have a 1.2 meter Channelmaster dish with Traxis DBS 3500 with Norsat 8115 LNB that is working great in Ocala Florida - Great if you want CCTV, Japan and anything not on 3840 Mhz on Intelsat 9. Bought gear to receive DW-tv which worked OK until a year ago. I give up now that I can get what I...

I have a 1.2 m Channel Master in Ocala on Pas9 and get reliable reception on CCTV and NHK. I am primarily interested in DW-tv on 3840 and there is interference which I am fighting. I have a Norsat 8115 Lnb and Traxis 3500 which I bought from Mike - good combo but it is on the very edge. Am...

I use a Norsat 8115 with a 1.2 m dish and it works great. Your can find many places to purchase by putting Norsat 8115 into Google. With an 8 foot dish you should have no problem with interference that I have on PAS 9. I live in central Florida.

I have a 1.2 m dish in central Florida on PAS-9 and get outstnding receptioon on CCTV and NHK but no DW-tv or Cubavision as unfortunately with the small dish 3840 has intereference which I have not been able to overcome yet - tried an Norsat 8115 and it kind of helped in that I have a stronger...

As noted before, I have had and still have problems with DW-tv on Pas 9, 3840 Mhz. I have a 1.2 meter channel master fixed using Pansat 2300A and Calcomp LNB. Replaced the reciver first usigna new BuzzS2010f. Installed same without any probs other than the response to the remote was flaky -...

Unfortunately, it lasts all day and whatever part of the night I want to look at it. The receiver and LNB have been changed - see new thread Hank

I believe that the intereference problem and possibly lower power on the transponder account for the lower readings. The bouncing also could stem from the interference since it seems to vary in magnitude. Until I get the new LNB and the receiver installed, I doubt there is much more to be...

Hi Mark, Thanks for looking - in case you do not know, the English on DW is on the even hour with daylight time - changes back to the odd hour with standard time. My quality is still 90% with Signal at 70%. It will vary +/- 2 or 3 in both cases but it does not seem to bother the picture...

Mark, That is devotion to FTA! It will be interesting to see what you find. It seems that there is activity of some kind as every so often the screen is completely tiled for a short time. One time when looking at CCTV and even it was bad for a similar time - most unusual from my...

Miracle ended about 1000 local time. Have ordere new receiver and will try Norsat 8115 ASAP. Hank

The age of miracles has not ended! This morning DW-tv is clear, solid, outstanding as it was before. Will leave on all day and monitor. Still think I will opt for a new receiver as this one lacks some features I want and besides it may have a improved processor. Thanks for the help and...

Hi Photoman, When I turn off the receiver the picture at turn on is momentarily better but not long. I am not sure what you mean by "retuning the channel". I share your belief about the transponder having problems. It has not been really reliable for some time - that is there are always...

Mark, Thnaks for your efforts. Within reason, money is not an issue - like trying a better lnb is cheap as compared to rotating my house about 20 degrees! It is possible I can "play" with the pointing and the skew as it seems to be "just out", but I have the feeling that the temperature...

I am only interested in DW-tv on 3840. Is there any source of a filter to pass only 3840 or reject the 3848 from I 805 that may be the source of intereference? This is my primary TV source since my wife is German and we have been looking at the DW programs for about ten years now. FYI I...

Sorry, big dish is out. But the interference is what I am afraid of. I cannot see AMC 1 as my house is in the way. Would a hotter lnb help giving more gain over the 17K CalComp such as a Norsat 8115? Thanks guys, Hank

I live in a restricted community therefore I have a fixed mount 1.2m offset Channelmaster for C band coupled with a CalAmp 17K Lnb into a Pansat 2300A which gives me about 70% signal and 90% quality. This was fine for DW-tv 3840 until about a month ago. Now I have same S&Q but the picture varies...
