I have a Directv Receiver that has been used for years, but the phone was never plugged in. 4 PPV purchases (they might be adult, it really doesn't say) were made via the remote, probably around 2003 or 2004, and never gotten called in to Directv, so they stayed in past purchases for years. The...

I'd like to get a 2.4m dish to replace my 1.8m dish that won't pick up DW-TV anymore. I want a 2.4m dish with a ground mount like the one on the left, to replace the one on the right: I am not able to find a reseller that sells the Fortec Star 2.4m. I know there are equivalents, just rebranded...

For those who use 1.8M dish antennas to receive DW-TV on AMC 1, please let Deutsche Welle know that your reception went to crap on December 2nd. Since Deutsche Welle has no interest in encryption and encourages viewers to watch it's programming, let them know about your reception issues at Send...

Two years or so ago I got a 90cm Prodelin offset dish antenna for Ku reception. It is built like a tank and works way better than any of those crappy Fortec Star or similar offset dishes. If you have any of those, just throw them away like I did mine. It cost me almost $300, and I think $60 or...

With great sadness in my heart, I must report that Deutsche Welle Radio English and German are now gone from 3740V at 103W. I contacted them and they said the English feed will only be on AsiaSat 3. It used to be on 103W as DW 1 Radio and DW 2 Radio, and online, but I can't find an online stream...

I'm doing some upgrading, and I want to upgrade a legacy DIRECTV receiver to a new HD DVR, which I'm betting will only work with an SWM system(The installer will be coming at the end of the month, this is an upgrade from them, with "free, professional installation"). I have a second legacy...

Has anyone been able to tune in C-SPAN Radio on AMC 11 at 131W? At 5.2MHz I just get static and searching through 5 to 8MHz I just hear C-SPAN audio on 6.8MHz. I'm using a Scientific Atlanta 9660 receiver and just changing the audio frequency. Am I missing something or did they put it on their...

Here are pics of the Prodelin dish and feedhorn. Was taken back in the summer, so you can see the Japanese Knotweed taking over everything. When I took these pictures, it was pointed at 103W. Right now, it's permanent home, is 125W for PBS. The LNB that's attached to the feed is from Zinwell...

Attached are graph images created by cacti (web php software suite that creates graphs of polled SNMP data over time) of my Sci Atl D9850 commercial IRD tuned to TP2 of AMC 1. They are of BER. It's interesting how it changes over time. The peaks are around midnight and the troughs are around...

Is it just me, or is that HITS multiplex still on AMC10 3740H? I can't lock it with my commercial receivers no matter what I do. Is it still there? I like the music on it. Thanks.

Does anyone have a list of transponder info on the NBC DVB-S2 feeds, the national feeds, like east, central, etc? I have pulled in 12000 H 30000 5/6 8PSK pilot on and got 4 channels, but the east and central labeled channels seem like they are the same video feed. I'm using a coolsat 8000...

I ordered a .92m Ku offset Rx only dish antenna directly from Prodelin. The reflector is made of fiberglass and every part of the dish is very well constructed. It's built well and works amazing. I love it. I got the wall mount version. It costs $180 plus shipping, but it works so well, installs...

Has anyone been able to tune in 3940V 29270 7/8 Split on a commercial DCII receiver on AMC1? That multiplex contained the Comcast Network in fixed key, I think. I can get DW-TV loud and clear (thanks to my Maxpeak SAM meter, I love it) but I can't get the Comcast Network. Can anyone verify it's...

I need a 90cm offset dish with a rigid reflector. My Fortec Star 90cm is a royal pain. The reflector does not seem like it's shaped properly, and I tried to shape it using the method used with the Geosat Pro 90cm reflector from shipping damage and it didn't seem to make any difference. I want a...

PBS went with a vendor for the file transmission part of their system. Right now they are doing testing (beta testing a few stations, I think, from their schedule) and was wondering if anyone found the transponder. I'd like to try to see if I can come up with something for the file reception...

Hello, On my 2.4m Fortec Star prime focus dish, have you noticed the LNB arms are not adequate for a heavy dual output Chaparral feedhorn and two heavy Norsat 8515 LNBs? When re-aligning, I noticed that the whole scalar ring and feedhorn/LNBs seem to sag, but ever so slightly. I had to bend and...

Hello, I noticed my Sadoun KUL1 Ku linear LNBF seems to be lacking on the PBS stuff on AMC 21. I can't even get a signal on the DVB-S2 multiplex of LPB. I'd like to get a Norsat LNB, but where would I get a feedhorn to use with a Fortec Star FC90P? Do they sell Invacom LNBFs that do 13/18V...

The other day I notice the Weather Channel multiplex does not come in. I check the LNB power source and make sure it's working, and it is. I go outside and see what is in photo2.jpg. That isn't snow on the ground, that's sleet that has frozen into a sheet of ice, also. I forgot to secure it...

Has anyone had a good experience with the Fortec Star 90cm Dish Antenna? I ordered mine from Sadoun and it seems really cheaply made. The reflector bends very easy and the LNB arm does not seem sturdy because of the reflector mount doesn't seem very strong either. Everything just seems...

For alignment reasons, does anyone know of a strong DVB transponder on AMC10 at 135W? I've tried the HSN digital feed on 3915MHz, Horizontal, 3980 symbole rate 3/4 FEC and couldn't find it. Is the CSPAN 3 multiplex strong? Any other powervu muxes strong? What also doesn't help is that I'm in...

For some strange reason, I can only get 1 transponder on my 6 footer on W1 C band. I mainly use it for watching DW-TV on transponder 2. Over the past months, the signal would come in great for only parts of the day and night, but then I'd get nothing. This would go in and out, until 3 or 4 weeks...

Hello, Is it possible to download channel maps from C3 for a DSR-922? I'm having issues right now getting signal from C3-101. Says it can't find anythingfor that channel, but Scripps and Discovery networks channels are there. My dish is stationary at C3. You think it's because the channel maps...

Hello, I got myself a 240cm Fortec Star dish, ground mount. I also got a Chararral Dual output C band feedhorn and 2 Norsat 8515 LNBs. It's stationary and I just want reception of AMC11. I got the Dish level as best I could, it's fairly level on it's platform. I set azimuth with a compass and...

Hello, My only interest is subscribing to Discovery Digital on the AMC11 satellite. That is all I want. Does the dish have to move to another bird to get the authorization or can it be done on AMC11? Currently, I cannot put a motor on my BUD. Thanks. Jonathan

Hello, For those with DVB receivers, can anyone scan AMC1 C band for the proper frequency, symbol rate, and FEC for GMA Life TV? My visionsat IV-200 scans a multiplex on 3895MHz with a symbol rate of 6387, I think with an FEC of 3/4. There should be two channels, first one should be "GLTV...
