For the last couple months or so I have been enjoying France 24 in Eng and French on NSS806 at TP 3803 V 26860. Now it does not seem to be there any more, disappeared in the last couple of days. Just me? Other usual channels coming in nicely, so I don't think it is a dish tweak issue.

Just can't figure this one out. I'm having a problem getting 3740 MHz on 103W, no signal at all. Neighbour signal 3920 MHz comes in clear as a bell, in fact it is the only signal I can get under Free from 103 at all. Until a week ago I was getting 3740 no problemo. Tried two receivers, same...

Until a few days ago I was getting a good signal from Canal Vasco. Now I see a signal registering but no picture or sound. The Galician channel next door is good and strong with pic and sound, so the dish/lnb/diseqc/cable receiver chain appears to be good. Maybe I'm missing some news that it has...

I'm not picking up any of the usual feeds on AMC6 KU, since about last weekend. Tried 2 different dishes but nothing on either one KU. Maintenance or change of policy by NBC?

Since most newer boxes these days come with PCIe slots and frequently no PCI slots at all, how are satellite card manufacturers responding, and how do existing PCI owners deal with a box which has no PCI slots?

Coolsat 6000 has been running well, daily, for several years. Recent issues have me puzzled. I use the favourites to mix and match channels. Mostly it works good flipping from one ch/sat to another. Now jumping to a Hispasat channel from another bird results in a good signal according to the...

Hi guys: I'm proposing to to an article for an online magazine about the meaning of true FTA in the world post-Nagra3. The main point will be to reveal what FTA really means, enjoying unencrypted signals offered freely by broadcasters. I'm looking for a couple of good souls who would be...

I listen to radio by internet using mplayer mostly. When I look for internet radio from Latin America I can find a number of stations which broadcast through their websites via flash and this works ok but what I am really looking for is a direct url that I can use on the command line in Linux...

I'm looking for an audio device, audio input and output for my pc running linux. It is easy to find a wired device, but harder to find a wireless device. I have found a bluetooth combination that works after a fashion but the quality is poor and the bluetooth device, while it is recognized in...

I was puzz;led by changes on AMC-1 recently. For some time WCPE was available on the TV side (not radio side) under MS91 with video of Huntington Beach and audio WCPE. Then suddenly the audio disappeared. OK I thought they have a problem but it went on for weeks. Kept on blind scanning FTA on...

My current setup for watching TV is my DVB-S receiver which outputs to an old computer which displays on a 24" LCD screen. This is quite adequate for my purposes and has the advantage that the setup is modular and components can be used in other roles if necessary. I can also record to hard...

I was on a country lane the other day when I saw what looked like an FTA enthusiast trying to tweak his dish. There was something very odd about this dish, so I leaned over the fence and asked him what kind of dish it was. He invited me into the yard and showed me what looked like a windmill...

About two weeks ago I was tuned to a C-Band station and it disappeared. I was accustomed to this early in the morning when the sun rose and faded the signal. Wait 10 mins and the signal normally came back. This time it did not. I have now replaced the lnb and the new one seems to be ok. Hooking...

I have a brand new out of the box Traxis.3500. Quite pleased so far, downers are that the main on off switch is dinky compared to the Coolsat and Merc II and the remote is somewhat better organized than the Merc but not as good as the Coolsat. Most everything I have checked with regard to...

I'm trying to tune TP 5 analog to get Classic Arts Showcase on G15 on my 6 footer but I don't immediately see anything. G15 is starting to get a bit low for me and trees start to become an issue. If I can get CAS on the 6 footer it would be much more convenient that swinging my 10 footers which...

Seems to have gone powervu.

Has anyone had any luck using the dvb-tools scan on either of these cards? I can get channels in Kaffeine no problem on both cards from some satellites, but the scan utility is giving me some issues. While Kaffeine has a channel active, 'scan -c' works a charm and lists the channels on the...

I'm a bit puzzled by scanning results in Kaffeine (SuSe 10.1, Kaffeine 0.7.1). SS2 card works fine, and all satellites I am scanning work well with Coolsat. I have a number of fixed dishes that I can feed into this box, but the only sat. that works as expected is AMC-5. On nearly all the...

Just thought I would share an interesting experience while tuning a 36" Fortec dish to AMC-3. The dish is borderline for good signal reception on weaker channels, so I have to make sure I have rubbed in a good amount of tweak juice. Apologies if this is old hat but here goes... I am using my...

The coolsat manual tells me to plug my RF antenna into the RF in spot on the back of the box and I can activate it by pressing the TV/SAT button on the remote. When I do this I get 'E0' or something like that in the box LED and the satellite picture remains in place on the RCA output. I guess...

There was a news item the other day (sorry I forget what channel) where someone was setting up a Ka band system on C-Band size dishes to deal with the increased flow of data from satellites related to weather etc. Round here the Ka band for internet is famous for being spotty, disappearing when...

Any tips? My concerns: I have 4 mesh buds all built on the technology of mesh screwed onto square tubes. One of the BUDs came with clear freeze damage to one of the square tubes where the square cross-section had been completely rounded out into a circle evidently by ice formation inside the...

In setting up mythtv with this card I have verified that the system sees my card as a flexcop item, modules seem to be loaded, lspci shows Technisat Skyustar 2 ok. Yast sees the card and tells me a bit about it but is not very helpful. In mythtv-setup I am trying to identify the card to mythtv...

The following works perfect: receiver - manual switch - coax 1 - DMSI diseqc to 4 standard lnbs - coax 2 - BSC621-2 (only using C-Band side) Now I replace the manual switch with a DMSI SW-21K. Coax 2 (22K tone ON) now works fine but coax 1 (tone OFF) does not respond...

I find I am constantly changing screen resolutions in using this 103G. If I am using ProgDVB to tune in HD channels I have to use 1280x1024, otherwise the right hand side of the screen, about 1/3 of the area, has a bad hatched appearance. I presume this is connected to my NVidia video card...
