    results of blind scan on satmex6 and satmex5 c-band

    Dear Gents, For years now, I have been trying to see "Inter Russia" on SatMex 5 at 4123 H 1790 2 / 3. Lyngsat has been showing this channel, and some other services have been showing it too. Others have not been able to see it, evidently, because they do not show it. Maybe the broadcaster has...

    What is the best system I can get, as cheaply as possible, that will get me all FTA in USA & Englan

    Dear MIKESKYSOLDIER, From what I have read, an eight-footer is the absolute bare minimum. I live in south-coastal Oregon. I use a ten-footer, and it sometimes cannot bring in some broadcasts. A sound and dependable twelve-footer would probably show me everything FTA. Sadly, new dishes'...

    Jewish News One

    Dear DJdish, I have not yet tuned in to that channel, but I bet I know why they include that horn. They figure, "Shofar so good!" Gordon F. Corbett

    What Has Happened to the 4DTV Forum?

    Dear All, I looked at my Apple Safari web-site and saw the page for the 4DTV Forum. It told me that there are no messages in it. I then looked at the appropriate location for this particular Forum, and it was not there. What has happened? Sincerely, Gordon F. Corbett

    Looks like LegitFTA.com has been hi-jacked.

    Hooray! Now you are talking! I have been waiting for Iceberg to evaluate that machine. I mean no derogation of the other reporting users, including especially Stone and you, but even I know that Iceberg writes good reviews. The Manhattan entered the market quite some time ago, and Mr...

    New Pansat 9500HDX

    Dear mr3p, Thank you very much for relaying that statement. To my ears, it sounds like the kind of thing that someone would say if he had been told by an attorney to say it. Pansat, like a great many other distributors and designers, was haled into court because of their alleged connivance...

    A motor that tips all directions

    Dear FaT Air, Such a motor might have been worthwhile for a U. S. West Coast student of Russian who wanted to tune in to the Molniya (Lightning) satellite over Siberia, if it is still there. Of course, he or she would have needed a very large dish to pull in its signals and a Snell standards...

    New Pansat 9500HDX

    Dear EUROSPORT, First, I think that the program is in French. Please explain why you think that the 9500HDX is junk. The ALI folks have created a desirable set of chips, and everybody and his dog are sticking them into their new receivers. Given that these chips perform well, keep cool...

    Which HD receiver would be right for me? Help me make a decision.

    I'd buy one for 200 bucks if it was hd, dvbs2, 4:2:2, manual pids and most importantly beeped for the lnb setup signal. :) I'd pay 300 bucks if it did DC2 also, heh. I like to dream BIG! My Christmas bonus should cover it! Kodaz Dear KODAZ, Throw in skew control, and you might have a...

    Transition from 4DTV to What Kind of Dish Mover?

    Dear ANOLE, Many thanks to you and to everyone else for their information and advice. You mentioned orthomode feedhorns. If I understand correctly, an orthomode feedhorn lets the user see a satellite's transponders without regard to polarity, thereby obviating the "odd-even" game that we...

    Transition from 4DTV to What Kind of Dish Mover?

    Dear All, Our Pansat 9200HD is slaved to our Motorola DSR-920 4DTV receiver. When I heard that on 31.XII.10, Motorola would stop support for our DSR-920, I figured that maybe I could turn lemons into lemonade by buying a new dish mover that would let our Pansat 9200HD "see" the satellites...

    RTV AMC-9 Quality way up

    RTV AMC9 Quality Way Up Dear TURBOSAT, This is my second try with this message, so I hope I succeed in transmitting it. Your suggestions, and the reports from other members, worked well. I keyed in Lyngsat's numbers and moved the dish a tad to the east. Bingo! Thanks a lot to you...

    RTV AMC-9 Quality way up

    RTV AMC9 Quality Way Up Dear TURBOSAT, Thanks for your reply. We have a ten-foot standard mesh dish slaved to a DSR-920 4DTV receiver. The dish has an H-H mount that holds very steadily, although adjustments while watching the 9200HD's quality bar have sometimes yielded some nice...

    RTV AMC-9 Quality way up

    RTV AMC9 Quality Way Up Dear Sir, No offense, but here on the West Coast, my 9200HD only shows NBC insignia on AMC9. Partly because I bought the 9200HD to obtain RTN broadcasts, this vexes me. If anyone can tell me how I might see that station, please do so. I find my 9200HD superior...

    Pansat 9200HD + DVB-S2 Blind Search Module

    Dear ICEBERG, Thanks again. By the way, I read a test-report you wrote about an approximately four-foot dish equipped with LNBFs. Given its size, this dish attained what looked to me like high quality readings; and, if I recall correctly, these readings were made possible by equipment...

    Pansat 9200HD + DVB-S2 Blind Search Module

    Dear ICEBERG, Pardon me, but I forgot to ask about one element of your message. You said, "The easiest way to solve this is to delete transponders in the system. The channels will not be removed but it solves the problem." I thought that I had to delete both transponders and the channels...

    Pansat 9200HD + DVB-S2 Blind Search Module

    Dear PENDRAGON and All, Thanks a lot. The ability to learn from those who know is invaluable, and I will try your suggestion later today or perhaps on Saturday morning. I bought my receiver brand new from Panarex in Sun Valley, so its freshness seems solid. I plan to obtain my...

    Pansat 9200HD + DVB-S2 Blind Search Module

    Use of S2 Module Dear PENDRAGON, Now that I have unpacked my 9200HD, I see that the manual seems to lack special instructions on how to use the S2 module. Have I missed something, or must I do something, e. g., call Panarex in Sun Valley, to obtain the special instructions I read are...

    "Inter Russia"

    Dear All, My Pansat 3500s has somehow become unable to bring in SatMex 5's channel "Inter Russia" at 4123 H, although I have been watching the channel every so often for some months. My receiver's age has made it tough to bring in, but after X days of non-performance, I was able to watch it...

    To Owners of Pansat 9200HD Receivers Dear Owners of Pansat 9200HD Receivers, I forgot to ask you something. I have found that my Pansat 3500s receiver, which allegedly can hold 5,000 channels, starts malfunctioning wildly if I load into it more than, say, 350. Currently, it has only...
