Oh wow, that's cool. So the Manhattan? Ok, where is the best place to grab one of those?

My dad loves watching the Iranian channels on G19. I should specify, he loves watching the channels that are produced outside of Iran, he hates the Iranian propaganda. At any rate, they had an old BEC that just is a pain in the butt to use, and appears to have lost some sensitivity. It's...

Its on IA5...just do a scan. I'm glad to see its finally up, I got tired of watching the loops...

Haha, he's probably running back and forth from his roof to the tv to check signal! LOL just kiddin man. :hatsoff:

Perhaps making room for new Globecast channels?

I don't remember where but someone had a picture up where they had taken the Directv at-9 dish (5 lnb) and added a Ku lnb to it to pick up FTA stuff...and they claimed it worked well...YMMV though...as I've only seen that once and not in person.

Good deal...thanks. I'm not a big sports fan, but I do like to find new things. I guess what I need to do is get a C band dish, just not sure where I'd put the sucker!

Should I get one of these analog boxes for Ku? As in, is it worth just getting it for Ku if I don't yet have a C-band setup?

The Mercury II clock sucks too...And I thought with it being their high line receiver they would have fixed it. Oh well...

I have one project I need to take care of asap. And that is to get my neighbor to let me remove one or two trees that are in his backyard. I don't think he will mind if I ask... But they are severely blocking my DirecTV AT-9 dish from seeing the 103 degree D* bird. And so, while I have the...

Well I would contact Fortec Star and see if they've had this problem before. My Mercury II is am awesome box ,I love it.

Is it possible you have your scan step set too high? So it may be skipping some?

Its an english speaking actual station. Not just a feed. Although feeds are cool, it is sometimes need to watch a whole show on the Montana PBS.

Tron, indeed. I just always get a kick out of manuals for FTA receivers, lots of misspelled words, sentence fragments, etc.

That may just be the only DVB receiver with a decent non-cheesy manual!

Interesting, I'm going to try to find an article unless you can post one...maybe it'll shed some more light on it.

Scan about 25 minutes or so before the nightly news shows start...for each time zone...

in regards to Al-Jazeera, thats not a station Iranians watch. I have very little distant family left in Tehran but those friends I have that can actually go back (long story, they'd kill me if I went back to that crazy place) tell me that people use satellites to watch things like MTV2 and BBC...

I have a DirecTV AT-9 dish that could use it bad! Guess I'll be ordering some wipes soon.

Pete, thats interesting. Do you recommend the wipes or the spray?

Wow, gives a whole new meaning to the word "hobbyist"

Well I imagine you can call companies like Intelsat Americas and purchase TP time...probably not cheap :)

I love the ABCNewsNow channel. While I don't like ABC, its nice to have something like it on FTA.

Or maybe..."Satelliteguys.us, wouldn't you love to know what I was doing with these dish's?" Yes I'm just kidding, but it sure would be funny.

That is an interesting tv channel. I do understand Farsi, and all they do is trash talk the iranian regime. :) Which of course, 99.9% of Iranians agree with. Thats why you see all those crazy pictures of the guys with turbons on...
