I am sure the satellite itself is making money. The satellite owners don't care if anyone is watching - as long as they get their money. What I find amazing is that this many loonie religious groups have enough money for this. What a colossal waste of money, time, and bandwidth!

Your Ku setup is the same as mine - it will be interesting to see what you can get. I have no C-band here until I can locate an unloved BUD in a farmers field free for the taking!

Thanks, but I forgot to mention, I'm in Utah. So 20w / 22w are not good for me. Out of curiosity, however, how far west do you figure that 20/22w would be usable?

Thanks for the input. Seems easy enough to re-aim! Maybe I should wait until the games start and see what shakes out.

I've got my WS 9036 dish currently pointed at Galaxy 19 - no motor drive - with an Openbox S10, X2-M1, and an X2 premium receiver. I want to re-aim the dish to watch the Winter Olympics, and I only want to re-aim the dish once (It's cold outside!!). Any suggestions on what bird to aim for...

So, soon the only nation capable of putting a MANNED craft on the moon will be... China? Way to go, America!

TFC west, audio only, TFC East was in the clear for a while but is now scrambled. Al Jazeera is scrambled, what's next??

Good day sir, Kumusta. Your dish will be too small, it appears to be about 18 inches. You will need a larger dish 30 to 36 inches, as well as a new receiver. I don't know what is available in the Philippine on FTA, but I would be interested to know what is available. I have family there...

More like a carton of eggs...

Yea, been there, done that. I prefer a live stream rather than or in addition to On Demand. And they should have it on Roku - I don't need or want another box in my living room, and a media computer is a pain in the ass.

I don't understand WHY there is so much content from other countries on FTA, but nothing from the Philippines. Not even news, just one lousy religious channel. If I had money, I would put up a FTA channel of Pinoy news, entertainment and movies, selling advertising time and asking donations...

Curse you, TFC! I wouldn't mind paying $10 a month or so for this channel - live. But the only way to get it seems to be available is to pay $25 a month ON TOP of a ridiculously priced "package" that I neither want or need.

Thanks for the info! I found it, but... I had to add the transponder. I learned something new today, and I'm still learning!

It appears TFC west (CA)on Galaxy 19 is now silent. For a few days it went to audio only, then dead air for the past several days. There appears to be signal, and it's not scrambled. I know, I was warned that this may happen, but still disappointing. I was hoping it was a technical problem...

EBRU is also available on Roku (live stream)

Sucks, but I suppose they had scramble to appease the cable gods to get Alzazeera America picked up. I'll have to get it on Roku now - it's in the "Live Station" channel.

New shows on MeTV? A bit of an oxymoron...

I ordered one of these as a "How low $ can you go?" experiment. For about $80, I cobbled together a new, working Galaxy 19 system: Winegard DS 2076 $44.97 + $19.30 shipping X2 M1 DVB-s Receiver $22.45 X2 LNB, $6.45 25' RG6 coax, $7.10 Total cost, $80.97 All parts were bought on Amazon...

Thanks to all for the help. Here's some pics of the setup, it's temporary because it's just too hot in the attic to run coax.

Thanks for the info. Lets hope they let it stay in the clear as long as possible.

The Slimline and World Direct have both been modified to take a single standard Ku LNB. The question is, will they be large enough to be reliable from my location @ 41 degrees and Southward. I will experiment, but that's a task for another day. My next task is to get the cable run to the living...

Primestar 31, Thanks for the feedback! My needs will become more advanced as time passes and I add a motor. I think the S10 I have will serve my needs IF I can do the fix for motor power I found here on the forum. However, what I'm looking for is an inexpensive, basic box for galaxy 19 that gets...

How far north?

So I'm set for myself, but I still need suggestions for inexpensive receivers and dishes for my friends ad family to get TFC. For dishes, I'm going to give an old DirecTV slimline and a World Direct dish a try and see if that works, but I suspect a 30" dish will be needed.
