    BVN (Dutch Channel) in NYC

    Hi FTA4PA I am in West Chester, PA and before the rain last week I would get 78%SS at 55%QA on a 70cm dish. This weeks rain made the signal disappear. So sick and tired of the rain fade I got a bigger dish and trying to point it now. Which gives me the most terrible time doing it. It takes...

    HI Guys, Just spend some time browsing the forum and I think I have the answer just need a confirmation as I am not very technical with this. I have two dishes one of 76 c and one of 100 cm. I have the Fortec star Mercury II receiver. I want to combine these two dishes and bring both signals...

    Galaxy 19 (97W) Ku-band channel guide -- Nov. 15 update

    Main US satellite So is this the main US satellite (over 200 channels) or are there more sat's that are interesting for the US. I am interested as I am considering to add a dish. Looking at Satmex6 at this point.

    BVN leaving 101W

    Hi Jim, so although I have a weak signal you don't think it is because of the tree's? I have these huge pines right in from of me and the signal. At least the tops of the tree's are in front of the signal. And I always thought that was the reason for the weak signal. I spend a lot of time...

    BVN leaving 101W

    Thanks Magic Static, from the start I wasn't getting anymore than 49% on the SES1, I will try and find the Satmex once the weather improves but I am afraid I will have to get a bigger dish. Any suggestions to dealers that you have good experience with are welcome. Many Thanks Fuif

    BVN leaving 101W

    Did anyone looking at BVN already change to Satmex-1 and if so how is the signal coming in. (I am asking as my signal from Ses1 is poor and hoping for a better result via Satmex)

    BVN Reception

    Ever since BVN changed to the SES-1 satellite I have bad reception. 48% to 57% quality and I am interested if other folks have the same experience. I would like this tread to be purely about what others have as a quality percentage and purely in the US North East or Mid Atlantic. Just to...

    Hi Otheo, Thanks for your response, I tried to find another satellite but did not find any. I am suspecting that my receiver is toast. See the previous posts. More to come..

    BVN issues

    Hi Turbosat, could not get that one, but the guy (wsidigital) suggested the Omegasat DSB5700. As I am not sure about both the LNB nor the receiver that I use at this point, so I started with a new LNB (also more economical if it turns out to be a faulty LNB ;)) and will take it from there. Thanks

    BVN issues

    HI Turbosat, You know.. with my actual set up I feel like I am fishing without knowing if there is a hook at the end of the wire. I am in the dark towards the fact if the equipment is correct, if the config gets regoqnized, etc. So with equipment that actually helps me to know that all is well I...

    BVN issues

    Tried programming the TP's manually buy the moment you take the power away it looses everything and I have to start over. I will try some more today, as it will keep the settings as long as it has power, but I am close to scrapping this thing. Thanks for all your help.

    BVN issues

    The Dish itself does not have a brand name or something its 84 x 77 cm. I believe its off-set as it does not look 30 degrees when you put it in 30 degrees. Almost looks like its 5 to 10 degrees up. The LNB has a label this is what it says. DMS DVB321-SB LO: 10.750 GHz NF: 0.6 dB S/N: 3B20 00581...

    BVN issues

    Ok nothing works! not even with placing the Dish in several locations. So I am done ..well done so to say. I think I should start with buying a new LNB, if that doesn't work a new receiver but hopefully that's won't be necessary. I got the equipment from Eyeinthesky.net but they do not pick...

    BVN issues

    Hi Turbosat, Thanks for your reply. I beginning to wonder if the trees are the issue. Would the signal go through the trees. They are White Pines. When looking at the same angle as the dish the signal comes in at about the 3/4 of the total tree height. Dish Pointer says the tree is about...

    BVN issues

    Tried to point it again: Plumbed the dish holder, put it on 36.9, pointed it and it is spot-on. The sat-finder is beeping. I move it away it stopped beeping. I point it back it begins beeping again. So I got to be looking at something. Transponder edit issue: The thing I...

    BVN issues

    Hi Iceberg, Thanks for your reply!! I am not sure if I am looking at AMC4 and I also am not sure how I would find out which satellite I am getting the signal from. I googled the direction and set the antenna. After that I changed the angle and, my god the thing started bieping immediately. So...

    BVN issues

    Hi I had to re-point my dish but delayed it for 2 years (I know ..don't ask time just fly's). The BVN from Holland is on the AMC4 and I hoped it was easy. So mounted the dish to the house, google the direction and together with my sat-finder and my Traxis DBS2500. I had the signal in 2...
