Hi... I have a dish with dual LNB pointed at Galaxy25 (97W). Each line feed from a LNB is used by an FTA receiver ( a Viewsat and a Coolsat ). Is it possible to add a third receiver into this setup such that all receivers get signal from Galaxy 25? Thanks.

Can a home made power inserter ( 18V DC adaptor with 1-2 A max ) to used with a 1000.2 LNB to provide extra power by connecting to output 1 of the LNB, while the output 2 and 3 can be used to connect to the receiver? I was told that I need a power inserter for my 1000.2 setup - and I want to...

Hi... My satellite dish that's pointed at 97W was buried under the snow. It stayed buried for about 4 days. I just digged it out today. Now I have 0 signal quality. The other indicator ( I believe is S ) is normal ( 70-72% ). The LNB + 2 pass trough connectors on each halves were under the snow...

Hi... I currently have 2 receivers. Each one is connected to one half of a double linear LNB. The dish points to 97W ( Galaxy25 I believe is the current name ). My question is how can I add a third receiver to this setup? Is there a smart switch out there that can allow this? Thanks.

I have a strange problem with my setup upstairs: I have a Viewsat Ultra connected to Galaxy 25 ( 97W ). I could get all channels for a couple of days ( all transponders 50% to 60% quality ), but today I noticed a strange problem: 1) all transponders with horizontal polarization have gone 0%...

Can someone please explain what a transponder is? Do I need to fine adjust the antenna ( azymuth,elevation ) for targetting a specific transponder? I'm getting the following behaviour while trying to target Galaxy 25 ( 97W): - I'm getting 82%S and 50-60% Q on just a few transponders, but I'm...

I have problems with my Fortec 90 cm ( 36 inch ) antenna ( U bolt style ). The problem is that I'm getting a good signal on one of the transponders ( 12090 ) but nothing on the others. I did some experimenting by removing the LNB from the enclosure and keeping it with my hand ( taking care I...

Hi... I want to connect a diseqC switch and a 22 khz switch. I have LNB1 going to 22KHz input A and LNB2 going to 22 KHz input B The 22 Khz output is then connected to a diseqc switch. In the Coolsat 6000 menu for the 22Khz settings I have the choice On/Off. I set On. The problem is that I...

Hi... I have a DiseqC switch that I recently purchased. It says: DMS International DiseqC 4x1 Switch 950 - 2150 MHz DiseqC2.0 Is this going to work well will Ku FTA ( standard LNB ) ? I'm worried that the frequency range is not large enough. I have seen that the original Viewsat DiseqC switch...

Ok, I'm able to watch some of the IA5 channels on the Viewsat Ultra. The LNB is a dual standard LNB linear. The second output of the LNB goes to a coolsat 6000. I'm trying to get the Coolsat 6000 going, but the settings are different. In the Coolsat Dish Settings, for the LNB type I have these...

Hi... I'm interested in getting some IA5 channels that I currently don't get ( I get others like ParsTV etc ): Can someone please verify that they are getting these channels: ProTV International RSC1 RSC2 They are on the tp=12053 V Thanks.

Hi... I have finally found the IA5 ( 97W ) at the current location of the dish and I'm getting 62 tv channels. Many channels are missing though and many are very weak ( they come and go ). I definetelly have a location problem ( my dish for IA5 is pointing at my neighbor's house which is 50...

Hi I'm new to FTA. I'd like to receive IA5 ( 97W ) in Ottawa. For this a have a Fortec star 36inch, a Fortec Universal LNBF and a Viewsat ultra. While trying to aim for IA5, I go to Menu->Antenna Setup and select Intelsat5. I also select a strong TP freq ( 12177V). What I'm getting sometimes is...
