I echo the comments of others... Thank you Mr. Luken. My daughter is watching your channel right now. Steve:D

I feel your pain... We live in a house with an east facing backyard. Had my dish mounted on the south side roof except everytime it was windy and moved the branches on a neighbours tree, I would lose RTV. So I moved the dish to a southeast corner and now get PBS to the west but lost the So.Car...

I can confirm that when I got my Extreme, the hackware did not have BS on it also. Ironically, I found factory software on a hack site that is still up after Nagra 3 was impletmented. Might want to Google "tvKeyz" and go to their website to get factory software for your unit. It worked for...

Look closely at lot 81... The box on the bottom of the pallet has a Directv logo on it. Wonder if they will buy that lot?

Success!!! I went out this morning and mounted the motor and dish (even though it is very windy!) and got it to work in about 10 minutes. Locked on amc9 and peaked the dish. I mistakenly thought that the positions were stored in memory from the factory and it was not until I actually wanted...

Thanks for the replies guys but... I still do not think that I can use USALS because I do not have many of the popular satellites in memory (83 for RTV). I think my best option is to manually move the dish slightly west (1 degree) and save/ lock on amc 5 @ 79. Then move it to 72 and try for...

I think I am starting to understand goto X... It must move a certain number of degrees when executed. I thought USALS was tied to the satellite name in memory and, for example, I do not have AMC9 listed at 83 degrees so I thought I could not use it. If I understand correctly now, I can use goto...

Yes I do... Usually watch Rockfish at 4 or 7 and just realized that Banacek is on Sunday mornings. Steve

oops.. I meant to say it lists true south as Galaxy 9 @81 instead. It does not seem to have any active transponders to lock on. The dish is currently aimed at 83 for RTV. Thanks

First off - thanks to everyone in this forum for answering all of my newbie questions. Just bought a sg2100 motor for my currently stationairy dish (on AMC9). Using a Viewsat Extreme that does not seem to have up to date satellites listed in memory so I was going to manually set them with...

I can concur, it is wierd... I did a blind scan this afternoon - no RTV (I was watching it at the time) but all kinds of encrypted channels showed up - dw (deutch welle?)audio and fair (chinese) tv? I re-scanned and only got rtv and nbc news channel. Steve

Thanks for all of your replies guys! This is the greatest forum. Steve:D

On the weekend, some fine people here helped me find and lock onto RTV. Now the obsesive compulsive comes out and I have to know how everything works. I have googled the DVB-s standard and they mostly mention the history of the standard and not what it all means. Specifically, I want to...

Actually Ice... I have had the RTV bug for a long time and have missed it since WNGS stopped broadcasting. It was part of the Buffalo locals package on Dish. Steve

BTW Anole... my wife thinks that this persistance can be a PITA (pain in the ...). I guess my background in teaching computer engineering and physics paid off. Steve

Thanks again guys!! Spent the afternoon watching Daniel Boone and McMillian and Wife. Dick Sargent (Bewiched) was guest starring on DB. Have to set the DVD recorder for monday. Emergency and Rockford files - Yea! This along with Dish Absolute is all we need for TV! You guys are great! Steve

OMG I got it!!! After a couple of months of frustration I am getting RTN E/W!! I just nudged it a little to the south. Wierd things though: 1) Ice - I entered the info for 12140 and the signal meter showed no quality 2) I decided to do a blind scan before giving up and it found RTV on...

Awesome! Thanks Ice, I will try that Hughsnet transponder in a bit. Hopefully our daughter will have a nap soon (wifes working again) and I can get out there again. Let you know how it works out. Steve

Thanks for all of your replies!!! You guys sure are a tight knit community. One last question after looking at the list. Amc 5 is a 79 degrees and amc 16 is at 85. Am I at 79 degrees now, not 85? I made a mistake in an earlier post. Also, in answer to the question - yes I have been...

Okay I just scanned again... and I got a test pattern with Echostar on the top and some phone numbers. The channel number is amc5-521. I get no other channels - Lyngsat mentions some Mexican ones of this satellite. Golf does not start until 1pm EST. Is this infact AMC5 at 85 degrees? If so I...

I did another blind scan this morning and... found nothing again! I will try to get more information this afternoon - I think it was Pebble Beach. It had no announcers but did have background audio. Unfortunately, I had to go grocery shopping with my wife and kids and when we came back last...

I was given a viewsat extreme by a friend who gave up hacking. It had hacked software on it and I found factory software (on a hacking site no less - google directed me there). Have been trying to get rtv on a 33" dish without any success. I thought I hit something yesterday afternoon and did a...

Sorry, I meant 6 weeks... you would think that for a company trying to generate some interest in their product that they would have updated soon after approval. Steve

Don't want to get anyones hopes up, but... Their website has not been updated in over 6 months. Also, Bell proposed something like this a while ago, was approved also, and has done nothing with it. Fee for carriage is a mess that still has to be figured out as well. Steve

That is wierd... We have only cable internet and only receive about 3 channels when I hook the cable to a tv. The filter allows channels 2,3,4 and a grainy 5 and that is it. The bummer is that they removed the analog fm stations a while ago that I used to enjoy - now it is all digital. Steve
