Pretty sure that went away with the switch from analog to digital.

I think it's time for me to invest in a bigger dish. My used commercial dish search (old gas stations etc) for the last couple of years has been a dud. Does Patriot still make them? Or is GeosatPRO the only option these days?

Welcome to a world where science fiction and conspiracy theories are reality.

Nope, I got that covered. For a while anyway.

As long as I have power I have an excellent vaccuum tube (EMP proof) pre amp, power amp, turntable, record and 1970's Playboy collection. That will get me by until whatever comes next.

Hi Mike, I really enjoyed your May 2023 article on C-Band Free-to-Air Satellite. Are there any plans to do a Ku-Band version? -Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but... The Spectrum Monitor has a satellite section. I have been a subscriber since they rolled out the digital magazine in 2014. It's something like Bob Grove's Monitoring Times magazine used to be. In fact I believe that some of the authors came...

If you have a decent high speed internet connection they do stream. | NASA

Hi Joe, Unfortunately there isn't a NASA TV feed on Ku. They are on C-Band only. NASA TV on Satellite Galaxy 13

Hi Al, I use a female to female connector to get a little "leverage" if you will. Sometimes I place the barrel connector in a socket. 7/16's if I recall correctly. This method saves your hands a bit.

I'm guessing that most of the lottery feeds have gone to fiber optic/internet. That seems to be the trend anyway.

As you are probably aware. The mounting pole must be perfectly plumb with a motor.

I don't have a dish pointed towards that bird at this time. I'll refer you to..... Galaxy 16 at 99.0°W - LyngSat

I gave up on motors years ago in favor of individual fixed dishes. Much easier to set up in my opinion. That being said, If your dish and motor are aligned properly finding and scanning additional satellites is simple. You can do it all from the comfort of your couch using your receivers remote...

Yes. For your specific coordinates go to www.dishpointer.com Enter your zip code and select 99W GALAXY 16

They moved to G16 @ 99W 12140 30000 7 channel PBS MUX 11718 2390 Montana PBS

Thanks Casey and Michael I really appreciate it. I'm just baffled by the fact that they omit these details in the specs. I mean, that's what they are there for right? Anyway, thanks again. :thumbup

Hi Keith, Has this been officially announced by PBS or is this rumor mill stuff? I ask because I've enjoyed the PBS mux on 125W for many years. I'd hate to see it go away. My wife and I are very much into the Sunday evening programming like Masterpiece. I do have PBS OTA but I like the...

Does anyone know if there is a currently available satellite receiver in the US that can decode AAC audio? I have an audio project I'd like to pursue. Wish I kept the old Traxxis. :) As I type this I realize that I bought a USB receiver a while back that might work. It was one of the early USB...

I'm not an expert on the subject but I believe that most people use a computer card/USB receiver.

:eeek Holy smokes.

Michael. If I'm not mistaken you are using a 1.2 meter dish. Those of us using .9 meter dishes have had somewhat marginal signal on 125W for a while. Even on my fixed ku system everything has to be perfect for me to get a lock.

I gave up on the Montana transponder when they switched to DVB-S2 a few years ago. I'm cool with having the main E and W feeds. It's pretty high maintenance though because of high winds blowing my dish off azimuth all the time. It doesn't seem to take much.

This is great. Very generous of you Brian.
