    Is GOL still available?

    I am using an old 18" Sony dish I used to use for Directv reception. I watched Gol for several hours last weekend and then today I could not get a signal. For some reason, it now shows 0 for signal quality. At least I now have an excuse to purchase a better dish and LNB. Thanks for your...

    Is GOL still available?

    Yes, is that what they are called? I am picking up five or six of these channels, but no more Gol. I have tried the blind scan several times now and I still cannot get Gol. It is kind of weird that one day I can get it and the next I can't.

    Is GOL still available?

    Thanks - now at least I know it is a problem with my system. It is strange that I can't receive Gol anymore, but I do pick up the Dish pay per view preview channels. In fact, I am showing a signal quality of 88% on those. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

    Is GOL still available?

    I went to watch some soccer on Gol earlier, but was unable to pick up a signal. Does anyone know if GOL is still available on Dish? Also - can someone recommend a good dish for my 3618 receiver? I do not want a huge dish, but something that will allow me to pick up more FTA channels (I just...

    Angel One on Echo 7?

    I guess that would explain why I am unable to receive it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I think it is about time for me to purchase a larger dish so that I can have a wider selection of stations to choose from.

    Angel One on Echo 7?

    I have a Satwork 3618 and I am able to receive Nasa TV on Echo 7, but I am unable to receive Angel One for some reason. I did a manual scan as well, but was unable to pick it up. I am fairly new at this FTA thing, so can someone tell me if Angel One is still FTA, and if so, what I might be...

    newbie here

    I kind of had the same question. I put up an extra 18" dish in my backyard and purchased a Satworks 3618 receiver as well as a satellite aiming device. It is pretty neat to tinker with it, but there really are very few stations that one can get with an old 18" directv dish. Now, if I want to...

    signal quality and intensity

    Hi, I have my new satworks 3618 all set up and I had a question. This might be a dumb question, but what is the difference between signal quality and signal intensity? I have my 18" dish pointed at Dish 119 and it shows a quality of 56% and intensity of 77%. I am receiving all the free...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Ok, Maybe someone with a 3618 can help out. When I do a manual search for Gol, I get a signal quality of 90% for a few seconds and then it goes to 0% for a few seconds. It is almost like a pulsing of the signal. The green light in the front of the 3618 also flashes at the same time as...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Ok, One last question. I finally found Gol, but there seems to be some sort of problem with the signal. It will show a quality of 90% for a couple of seconds and then it will go to 0% for a couple of seconds. I also noticed this pulsing on the satellite signal finder as well. Does this...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Ok guys - GOOOOAAAAL! I made a small adjustment to the dish and I am now receiving Gol. I assumed that the Dish PPV channels and Gol were on the same satellite. Thanks so much for all your input. Now I just need to figure out what all those numbers mean when one does a manual search.

    Gol on Dish 110

    Now, if it shows 00% signal quality - what the heck does that mean? Why would I have a zero quality reading and a 74 for intensity?

    Gol on Dish 110

    Ok, I think we are getting close now. Here is what I have entered: normal 11250 12341 20000 for tp vertical off off not used 90 skew nit off When I press enter - it shows quality 0 and intensity 74. Any ideas?

    Gol on Dish 110

    Yes, I believe I am on 110 as it shows some ppv channels and some channels that show sports previews as well. One thing that is strange is that when I go to manual search, the LNB box is not in bold. I can go type in 11250, but next to it it shows 10750 and I am unable to change that number...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Well, it is a sony dish I bought about nine years ago for my directv system. I can still use the dish for my old directv receiver. It is kind of strange that I can pick up the Dish PPV and other preview channels (eight in total), but I am apparently unable to receive Gol. I guess I will have...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Iceberg - this is driving me nuts. I went to blind scan as directed and for LNB type I left it at normal and then typed in 11250 for LNB frequency. After doing the scan, it showed no channels. I then went back and put in universal for LNB type and then put in 11250 and 11250 for LNB frequency...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Thanks for all the responses. I will give it a try and see if I can't finally get Gol!

    Gol on Dish 110

    I am starting to wonder if I have the same machine as you. When I press menu on the remote there is no antenna setup option. I have the seven following options - tv channels, radio channels, installation, channel setting, system setup, default value and accessory list. I guess I will have to...

    Gol on Dish 110

    Sorry for all the questions - but how does one go about setting the LNB L.O. to 11250 on a 3618? This receiver is driving me nuts as the user manual is a complete joke.

    SatMex5

    I am new at this as well. I have the 3618 receiver with the dish pointed at the Dish 110 satellite. I am able to pick up 7 or 8 of the Dish preview channels, but I can't get Gol for some reason. Do I go to the installation page and do a manual search in order to pick up Gol? Can you tell us...

    Gol on Dish 110

    I finally got my new FTA receiver (SAT 3618) hooked up to my 18" dish and was able to check out what was available on Dish 110. I have been unable to find Gol tv. Can someone tell me if Gol is still FTA from Dish 110? Thanks for the help.

    what do I need for FTA?

    Hi, One last question (for now) - what kind of FTA receiver do you recommend for my 18" dish. I just want to tinker so I really do not need anything fancy. Would a Pansat 2500 do the trick? So, I will be ready to go once I get a receiver and a compass (along with the aiming information)...

    what do I need for FTA?

    Hi, Thanks for the responses. Yes, I know there is very little that the 18" dish can pick up, but I just wanted to tinker a bit with the extra dish. Thanks again for the help.

    what do I need for FTA?

    Hi, I guess I am on information overload after looking over all these posts regarding this free-to-air subject. I just hooked up an extra 18 inch dish and receiver that is now picking up directv. Now, if I want to go the free-to-air route with this extra dish what do I need? I obviously...
