    Step By Step Instructions - Adventist Channels Move From AMC4 To Galaxy19

    They key is, if you have the dual LNB Glorystar dish you don't have to do anything to the dish itself as the channels are in effect just moving from 1 LNB to the other. I personally will do a bit of tweaking to get G19 in a bit stronger but other then that nothing needs to be done. If you have...

    Breaking News: SatelliteGuys Hear it First Hope Channel To Stay at 101W

    This is true but there are a lot of little old ladies that got the "Hope" system to get all the Adventist channels and it will be difficult for them to do such an upgrade, being little old ladies and such. I'm just saying, Hope really needs to look at getting on 97 as well.

    Breaking News: SatelliteGuys Hear it First Hope Channel To Stay at 101W

    Ouch, I know a lot of people that will be disappointed in them staying at 101. Now people that want Adventist channels only will have to choose either Hope or the 3ABN group. Bad move honestly. Doesn't effect Glorystar users but I know quite a few that only have a single LNB dish just for the...

    Safe TV Announces Decision to Cease Satellite Free To Air Service

    Email sent. My wife and in-laws watch this station all the time. SafeTV needs to realize that people only contact companies when there is a problem, not when things are all good.

    Wide screen TV settings

    I have a Samsung Plasma and I've found the best settings for us is set the receiver to 4x3 and use the TV's "wide fit" setting which does a pretty good job of stretching it to 16x9 with the least amount of distortion. But you need to play with various combination until you find what looks...

    Volume Three, Show Ten

    Ummm, you *do* realize they never labeled it as their own, that they were simply making it easy to get on their site, like many other sites (like AVS) already do? Per their news article on it: So please explain how they are claiming this podcast as their own? Sensitive much?

    PBS on Glorystar Reciever

    Well, I'll clarify that it depends on the market. But in many, at least in the midwest, the digital signals are much weaker (don't go as far) as the analog, mainly because they aren't on full power. That is supposed to change (for the most part) once analog is shut down but alas we have to...

    PBS on Glorystar Reciever

    The FTA/Glorystar recievers don't have digital OTA tuners in them, only analog (unless I'm mistaken). To pick up digital OTA signals all she needs is a free-$10 digital converter box with the government coupon (which she should have gotten months ago since the transition was supposed to be in...

    Galaxy 19 - Low Signal Quality

    G19 was giving me fits all winter as detailed in another thread. Ended up being a bad LNB. Replaced that and my signals are solid on most G19 channels (even got 50+ for Al Jaz). Not saying you have a bad LNB, but just posting my experience.

    What do you guys think about Direct HD Expansion

    LOL. Yea, losing 100+K subs while John gains 300+K makes Charlie look good alright. :D

    Anyone have problems with some G19 channels?

    Problem Solved! Problem is solved! And the problem was: Bad LNB Got my parts today and went right to work. First I replaced the switch because the old one was faded and starting to corrode on the back. Nope, same problem. So I replaced the LNB for G19 and viola, everything works great...

    Streaming Netflix?

    Are you allowing the mediamall server and playon to run thru your firewall and antivirus?

    why is it that...

    All I can say is that there are many posts about this and the technical nitty gritty on AVS and DBSTalk. As for DRM, 1080p thru component doesn't work on the DirecTV receivers (or Dish)...because of DRM. You'll get a message on the STB saying it's not allowed. So you must use HDMI. But the...

    why is it that...

    It's only a problem that I've seen when there is a bug in the firmware on the HDTV's HDMI handshaking routine. Handshaking is going on all the time, every channel or source change, no matter what. Why? DRM. It's always looking for DRM on every source or channel change. 1080p from both Dish...

    Advantage compass??

    Certainly don't need a compass for installing a dish. Just point it in the general direction and sweep it left to right slowly until you have a signal then start tweaking it in.

    why is it that...

    HDMI handshaking does indeed play a speed role in channel changes, or at least seeing them on the screen. Many a person has had 8 second channel changes using HDMI and goes down to 3 seconds with component without changing any settings. It only comes into play on TVs with bad HDMI handshaking...

    why is it that...

    LOL. Pretty much every DVR has some sort of 30 sec skip feature. Yes, just like on any receiver from any company. Usually 2-3 seconds but may be quicker or slower depending on various settings you have and if you use HDMI or not and how well your TV's HDMI syncs. Lot of variables involved.

    Anyone have problems with some G19 channels?

    Hey, my thread got bumped. :) Just FYI that we had some great weather last weekend and I completely tore everything down, re-plumbed the mast (it was off just a tad) and repointed everything. AMC4 was rock solid and I got all the vertical on G19 back solid but the horizontal were still out...

    why is it that...

    Was just going to post that. I think there was a similar thread on DBSTalk recently that was exactly the opposite, why where the Dish forums there so quiet and the DirecTV forums very busy. It's just that at this time Satguys is the main place for Dish Network talk and DBSTalk is the main...

    3ABN going HD?

    Well, that doesn't explain anything about going to HD, only to digital. There is no requirement to go HD, never has been. Only digital. The only light on the subject is that the top engineers at 3ABN don't understand the difference between digital TV and HD or they are trying to get more...

    I want D*, but I'm not sure about the price...

    If you time it right, call to sign up with DirecTV in July or August and get in on that yearly Sunday Ticket deal where you get 4 months of the top package for basically free if you buy Sunday Ticket. No guarantee they'll do it again this year but they have every year for a while.
