yes, i did the blind scan... i'm still looking into the possible issues...including the fact i have the dish pointed through the balcony rails! :D I am going to try manually entering channels to get the others... thanks for the help

... Iceburg: May have been 1000...seems like it was 5000, but right now I'm just tryin' to avoid it! Darn strong signal is hard to avoid! (especially with manual pointing) I was successful at getting pointed to 10R last night, which was a real challenge... Only getting a couple of...

Congradulations...you have a dish 5000 system :confused: What satellite am I on? I keep hitting it, and cant seem to find it on lyngsat...(not sure what to look for) It's a STRONG sucker! Hard to find anything near it when your trying to point manually!

Thanks for the help guys. At that price...looks like a new LNB may be the best way to go...

.. I was handed a C-BAND LNB that is marked 3.7-4.2 Ghz...(other equipment is listed with my signature below) and have a few questions: 1) Is the frequency setting for the coolsat still 5.150? Any other settings? 2) The LNB makes a 90 degree turn into a small white box...can the grey...

Oh yeah.....very cool! I would almost Pay for that kinda stuff! :D

I must agree... 1) BBC channel(s) (any that show new or classic DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!) 2) Others from Europe (in English) would also love to see more euro/asian television translated to english... bum bum ba bum ba...bum bum ba bum ba... bum bum ba bum ba...

Thanks for the help, folks....I'm going out now to find AMC9! :D

Hurricane Katrina is headed towards the gulf, and right behind it is the weather channel's live reports! Can someone post if/when they find the feed? Thanks!

Thanks for the responses... That's what I've enjoyed the most so far about FTA...you never know what will pop up on wild feeds!! And the 'behind the scenes' look at our media has been an eye opener... :shocked ...I never realized the 'spontaneous chatter' shared between reporters while...

Hello all... Wanted a few comments from the fourm on the best time to look for wild news feeds. Around local news timel? 10 minutes before hour? 10 minutes after the hour? Etc... Thanks!

Thanks for the help! :) Iceburg: When I scan SBS6, I always get 2 ONN channels...one is 69% the other 70%...probably just picking up the channel on both h/v coax? :confused: Have noticed this happening on other sats as well...Not a big deal, though...I am really enjoying the new hobby...

Cool Iceburg! I thought I was the only one that collected that sort of stuff! I guess we all have that geeky side that enjoys test patterns and quirky TV stuff...like wild feeds, etc.

Dish is up and running!...now questions! Got the Coolsat 4000 pro this week :) Have the P* Dish and KU LNB :) Got it on a fixed mount, ran the coax, and am getting some channels! :) I do however, have a few questions that I hope the forum can answer... :confused: ...perhaps you...

Are the feeds on those sats analog or digital KU?

Thanks for the advice...you folks are full of it! :p (advice that is) I hope to start on the project soon, and if I get any 'bright ideas' i'll let ya'll know. I'll try to get a new thread started to detail some of my results...I'm in an apartment so it should be interesting!

Thanks for the info guys. Alec, that is probably the route I will be taking. I'm not certain yet how to devise an 'arm' like that, but I am still at the drawing board phase of this project. I remember an aunt that had a system like that...she would 'crank' the dish to a new satellite.

Question for P*star dish users... :confused: How difficult is it to hit satellites when using a P*star dish? Will the fixed pole mount on the dish allow a few degrees of movement before loosing "the belt" and having to readjust the elevation? I have not installed the dish yet, but it...

DOH! :( I guess I misunderstood that part... Oh well, no problem It was all free anyway! I was planning on getting a Coolsat soon anyway...that will give me an excuse to buy it sooner!!! The reason I wanted to know what satellite I was pointing at, was to get a bearing on where...

Someone at work gave me a D*RECT TV receiver/dish/lnb. I successfully pointed it at the satellite shown when I enter the zip code and am getting the PPV channels, etc. zip is 39211 1. What satellite (on lyngsat's web site) am I pointing at? 2. Can I reposition this LNB to get the...

Woohoo! Now to decide on a receiver!

Excellent! I'm really looking foward to C band and the wild feeds...I'll look into the H/V switch. I am a little confused on WHAT the LNB can be used for...Can you shed some light? Is this something I can use with say, a Coolsat receiver? Also what band were these LNBs? C, Ku, etc...

Hello All... I was handed a P-Star dish yesterday with LNB. LNB is marked with an H and V (assuming this is horizontal and vertical) connections. Model is njr2119f (if that helps anyone)... Does this LNB have ANY use in a FTA setup? I'm hoping to put a C band LNB on the P-Star dish soon...

Why do I keep seeing these frequencies posted for the ISS? DNLINK: 463.000 (TV-1) DNLINK: 436.000 (TV) And what is TV-1 and TV? anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Just downloaded SATSCAPE v2.02. Incredible program, but you must have a good video card. Check it out... :yes www.satscape.co.uk
