    Phone apps for dish pointing / satellite finding

    I'm putting this thread out here because all I found was a closed thread about the DishPointer app. I'm hoping to hear what apps everyone has tried and see if there's a consensus on what works well or not. DishPointer is $19.99 so I am trying the free ones first of course. I'll start: right now...

    Why the 30 mbps feeds causing my receiver to bog down?

    I can't test it either because so far, OP has not mentioned the frequency or polarity, and "G17 Bird" I would have research to see what's the location.

    What Do You Think The Future Of FTA Will Be?

    Now that's what I was talking about the other day. A nice 3D effect with the two pictures side-by-side like that. Should have made the distance between the two shots just a bit more though.

    Why the 30 mbps feeds causing my receiver to bog down?

    ok, give me the other three bits and I will see if I can verify. I have a microHD.

    Why the 30 mbps feeds causing my receiver to bog down?

    Hard to say. What orbital location (I'm not going to do a search to find out where G 17 is) frequency, polarity, symbol rate?

    I'm not dead yet

    I think it's two of the same photo. If I were doing it, I'd take one photo then move the camera a few inches to the right and take another, then post them side by side for 3D viewing.

    Equipment for Peace TV on Galaxy 19

    There are a small few with guide but most FTA stations simply have no EPG data. Their target market is not consumers like us, so they don't bother.

    Newbie trying his best on a balcony, needing help!

    My first guess would be that you are looking at the wrong satellite. Is there another one that carries something close to what you are getting?

    LNB throwing compass off?

    Large metal objects like satellite dishes do affect magnetic fields.

    rules when it comes to the remote control.

    Simple, one 40.0 Dish remote per person, per room. And a drawer full of all the older 21, 6.4, 5.3 just in case.

    where to buy systems, and parts

    Maybe showing my age and the fact I was out of the hobby for a while, what happened to Sadoun, or GeoSat? Are they still around?

    Al Jazeera English $

    Yep, it's working now. Wasn't when I tried it on Friday. Hopefully it was just a glitch. I guess my main question is, if the feed is encrypted and the company providing the service to end users is no longer in business, who is getting it and how?

    Al Jazeera English $

    So Al Jazeera English is still encrypted on 97W and Globecast's World TV service seems out of business, AJ America is gone, and the YouTube stream now says "Sorry, not available in your country." What to do? Is there any way to watch this in North America?

    105W Question

    When did that happen? I had noticed my Ku NBC had gotten flaky but I blamed it on trees. Maybe I just need to adjust.

    Ethical Question

    I think the question has to do with whether or not somebody would notice a donation coming from much farther away than their OTA or cable signal reaches, and whether having noticed that donation, if they would determine a need to encrypt that signal. We hope they would not but you never know.

    So which of you is this?

    I wouldn't want all that in the front yard, too tempting for kids or criminals to mess with.

    Contest: Enter to Win a GEOSATpro microHD STB and SL1PLL LNBF - Ends 5/31/2013 Midnight PDT

    I still remember that time my parents packed us up in the motorhome and we spent the whole summer driving from Alabama to Alaska and back. The Alaska Highway was dirt and mud most of the way, and they let me drive part of it. We walked on a glacier.
