    Question about Caribbean stations

    I just went to look at FOX and I noticed (to my horror) there was nothing coming from the Caribbean, no networks. Can any one verify this? Oh, yeah, I did do a re-scan, other stations are there, just no networks, ABC, CW, FOX nor NBC. I was hoping it is something small like a change in SR or...

    I haven't seen this mentioned, but I lost MUX on 99W Gal16, PR stations

    I haven't done anything like add new FW or change anything like moving my LNBF, but a few days ago I lost the Caribbean stations on 99W Gal 16. Fox, NBC, ABC, CW and THIS all seem to have gone away. Since I haven't seen anything on line about this, I tried rescanning, even changing dishes (the...

    Review and setup of Openbox HD S9 PVR

    With all the new people buying the Openbox HD S9 PVR Receiver, I thought I would share what I know about setting it up. I had to wait almost a month after deciding to order this receiver, but when I did order it, Hypermegasat was very quick to respond. I ordered the receiver on Tuesday; it was...

    I *may* have found an 8 1/2' perf Birdview

    While driving on a road we use daily, Phottoette suddenly popped up with "I think I just saw a terrestrial dish." I stopped and asked where and she directed my back almost a half mile. Half hidden behind a couple of trees she pointed out a perforated dish facing almost due West. No wonder she...

    Twins vs Indians on STO

    I fell asleep today during the Yankee / Boston Game, but did wake in time to watch the Indian / Twins game, and was a tad confused when I saw the uniforms being worn. They look rather "old fashion" to me, and I'm hoping some one that watched the game can answer this. At first I thought I was...

    Well, Phottoette and I have been gone for a few days, and planned on staying home for at least a day, but we decided last night that we wanted to go to Searchlight Nevada, she to take pictures of people, and me Dish Hunting circa 2010. I'm not going to go into the political ideas behind or...

    AC3 Audio and my TV

    I really had a problem watching TV on sat stations that use AC3 Audio, mostly because the TV is on a rather high shelf in the bedroom, on the dresser actually, and I really felt uncomfortable changing the audio cable, then after an hour or so, unplug that cable and plug back in the conventional...

    Did we lose things on Galaxy 16, 99C West?

    I will not panic, I will not panic, I will not .... aw hell, did we lose another bunch of channels? I was about to watch something on a network on Galaxy 16, 99C West, but although everything else seems to be there, no networks. Did we lose more watchable channels? Photto

    Did we Lose WSEE?

    I went to look at CBS on 125, but nothing there. I thought I had somehow moved the dish, but when I looked at PBS, it was the same sig I normally see. Have we lost WSEE or was/is there something going on that I didn't look at, maybe a TP change? I am in the process of a blind scan...

    Closed Caption on Coolsat5000

    I'm very curious to see if I did something to disable the CC on my CS5K. I see there are programs that I feel pretty sure should have CC but the Caption box at the bottom of the screen in Audio (when I press the green button) gives me all sorts of info and choices, but the closed caption is...

    Storm Damage and C Band Dishes (among other things)

    I placed a small add on CraigsList looking for satellite dishes 30” to 36” or larger, and within a couple of days received an email from “Chris” in a town about twenty miles away telling me he had a “6’ to 8’ “ dish on his roof, and if I would like to take it down I was welcome to it. When we...

    Stationary Dish vs Motor Controled

    OK, I got the Coolsat 5000 up and running, and I am LOVING this box. That said, I have a question. I have four stationary dishes, two Ku and two C-Band, plus one that is motorized with the new 280B motor from Sadoun (and loving THAT too, it works so well and quiet). I am trying to set...

    What is cheapest way to add AC3?

    I have just begun to play with C Band. I was so excited to blind scan after the trouble I've had with the Conaxsat DUO (painful) and aquired a Coolsat 5000. What a difference. HOWEVER, that being said, there are a few channels that I would really like to watch, Ohio Sports, America One, a...

    Slave CS5000 to Conaxsat DUO?

    OK, I got the coolsat 5000 today, and I spent the evening trying to find all the sats that Phottette likes to watch. She's home during the day and I have run out of ideas on how to teach her how to use the CS5000. So ... here's my question. I hear and read a lot about slaving one receiver...

    Problem with STAB HH90

    First I would like to thank el bandido for the hours and hours he spent with me on line learning to use Channel Master to set up my CNX DUO. The longer I use the DUO, the stronger the Love/Hate relationship gets (snicker). As I was told after owning the DUO for several years, the Blind Scan...
