There appears to be an issue with the Coolsat-5000 and the RTN feeds receiving interference from an adjacent signal. I have a 12' dish with the Coolsat connected to it as a slave and for the first time a few weeks ago noticed RTN had disappeared... I had to manually add them back in (a blind...

Got them back! Well I really can't explain it... but, I deleted all the channels and predefined transponders on that satellite and did a blind scan and both east & west RTN channels popped up... someone else mentioned an NBC feed on a nearby frequency.. . when I lost RTN and their signal level...

Yeah, I did a rescan... no joy. Did a power cycle... no joy. Strange that during the rescan it came up with a couple of SNG uplinks, but it didn't find RTN. This is on a Coolsat-5000.

It shows a signal level that fluctuates between 75-95 - has been stable prior to today - but the video has been blank all day... it was there yesterday and other NBC transponders on same satellite come in just fine.

Thanks for the reply - it looks like my servo motor has gone out and I'm stuck on vertical polarity. I always keep a spare one on hand so it looks like my things-to-do list has one additional item! :) Tony Haukap Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite...

Anyone know what's happened to them? They have been dark for over 24-hours now. Tony Haukap Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television -- .

Thanks! I blind scanned G26 a couple of times (using a Coolsat 5000) and it failed to find it, I had to manually add the transponder and symbol rate and it finally found it! Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television --

It was their one FTA channel that I was looking for, just did a blind scan of G26 and didn't find it... it was occasional video, but usually carried NET1 or NET3 programming on it. Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website - Home Theater, Satellite Television --

Thanks for the quick reply... I haven't scanned G26 in quite a while, I guess now I have a reason! ;)

Anybody else having trouble picking up the PBS affiliate from Nebraska called NET-1? I'm getting all the vertical channels on Galaxy 25 (C-band) just fine, but there's nothing on the horizontal channels where NET-1 is/was located. Tony Home Page - ANTHONY W. HAUKAP: Official Website -...

Also on Galaxy-3C, C-band, vertical. Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

I have a Coolsat FTA receiver and I've only seen a few channels that make use of the guide feature and was wondering if all FTA receivers support a guide or is that a unique feature? Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

That sounds logical... IN from the LNB, OUT to the receiver. Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

I have experimented with in-line amplifiers, my dish is about on the so-called limit, it has about a 90-foot run of cable going to it, and I’ve found that whether you put them on the LNB at the dish, or where the cable enters the house, or even on the back of the receiver they tend to add more...

Here's a rundown of the PBS programming available: PBS Sked-X (Eastern Time Zone Feed)...

Okay, I found out a bit more information... the PBS channel that broadcasts programming a day later is called PBS-Encore and is part of the digital HDTV signal that *some* local PBS stations offer. Most PBS affiliates are broadcast PBS-HD (High-Definition), PBS-DT, PBS-Kids and PBS-Create, a few...

AMC5 also seems to be a popular bird for SNG. You probably already know about it, but if you don't the CBS NewsPath website has a complete listing of news feeds available on IA6 for their affiliates to use... http://newspath.cbs.com/ ABC (http://www.abcanet.com/) and NBC...

I don't know anything about a PBS Sked being a day later... maybe the Montana PBS affiliate delays some airings? Here's a link to their weekly schedule...

No. You don't have to enter any transponder frequencies, just do a blind scan and it will add them as necessary. Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

I had the model-50 when they we first introduced and a few years later upgraded to the 95... and they were indeed top-of-the-line in their day. To fix the problem with the menu sync, press MENU -> SATELLITE and set "INSERT SYNC" to either "AUTO" or "ON" - whichever works best in your...

I have a Coolsat connected with an optical cable and haven’t notice any audio drop outs. Is there a particular PBS channel that you observe it on? The one thing that I have noticed is that when I switch to an AC3 channel the audio amp takes a second or two or three before it starts to decode...

Yea, I thought about that... but I didn’t realize that a standard Ku LNB could tune that far out-of-band. The signal quality was around 96-97%, which lead me to think it was H/V polarized rather than L/R. Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

Create is a PBS channel. At one time PBS had 3 additional channels their stations could broadcast as part of their HDTV digital signal. I remember PBS YOU (Your Own University) and PBS Kids were among them.... I think “Create” replaced the “YOU” channel offering last year. My local...

Really? Maybe then I'm on the right satellite? On C-band I'm getting about 5 channels... On Ku there's (2 feeds). Oh, and I'm in St. Louis. :) Tony Home Page - http://www.cyberspace.org/~awh/ --

Are you sure? My polarity settings for AMC-1 are the same as most other birds. On my Chaparral Monterey C/Ku receiver the optimum settings for horizontal is at 105 and vertical is at 185 and I can rotate it between 90 and 220... these numbers are really meaningless, they don't represent degrees...
