Montana PBS is now on simulcasting on Galaxy 16 (99W) at 11718 H 2390, showing a reading of 11 dB using a 1.2m dish. Signal power for PBS on G16 has also increased, now at 13.6 dB.

I'm sure most here know this, but if not, HD04 (12145 H) and HD05 (12155 H) will shut off on June 1, the same day the main 12180 V transponder moves to 99W. A scrolling ticker has been on both feeds since May 3 concerning this.

I spoke too soon. 12180 V on 125W is gone here, now jumping between 7.7 db and 8.4 db. 12145 H is 10.7 db and 12155 H is 11.1 db. A quick check of the radar shows rain at the uplink site in Alexandria, VA.

Coming in at around 16.3 dB here using a 1.2m dish. The transponder is also being simulcast on G16 (99W), but it is slightly weaker.

I've mainly kept my dish on 125W for PBS for years. Before July 2021, lots of PBS content was fed on their 3 feed channels: HD03 (in the 12180 V mux), HD04 (12145 H), and HD05 (12155 H). You could catch shows a few days or a few weeks before they aired on HD01 or elsewhere. I made sure to record...

I should also mention that 12145 H (HD04) and 12155 (HD05) are also still up. 12163 H (SD05) and 12169 H (SD06) were discontinued in July.

It seems as if PBS has effectively stopped feeding new programs via satellite. I've been monitoring HD03-HD05 for the last few years and I don't believe they've went this long without feeding a new program. Pledge programs didn't even feed this month. All of the feeds are still up, but if you're...

Not all of them, just SD05 and SD06. The rest are still up.

SD05 and SD06 are now gone. The shutdown occurred at 2:56pm ET.

SD05 and SD06 will be shut off on July 21, 2021. There is an on-screen message on both channels. "SD05/SD06 WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED ON JULY 21, 2021. As of July 21, 2021, public television services on satellites SD05/SD06 will be turned off."

Looks like the second feed of the film package happened at 2:30pm ET due to an airing on "NOVA" at 12pm.

As expected, there was a feed of APT’s film package today at 12pm on HD03. There should be one more tomorrow at the same time on the same feed. Today’s film was "Michael Collins". Tomorrow’s will be "North Country".

I've not seen the film package air on HD04. I have seen it fed on HD05 back in April and May 2020, though. HD04 is mostly used for affiliate uplinks. The occasional PBS program is likely to be fed between 7:00am and 9:30am ET on HD04, though not always. A majority of the feeds are from SCETV out...

Between October 2020 - January 2021, it was actually a bit easy to figure out when a program would be fed. For example, say a new episode of "Finding Your Roots" airs on a Tuesday. PBS would feed that episode on HD03 on Sunday, two days before it aired. PBS usually did this with new episodes of...

Unfortunately, no. I compile these myself and don't really share them publicly for a few reasons. But if you, or anybody, would like a copy of the schedules for the week, just shoot me a PM and I'll send them via email. The downside of what I do is that once I start a new schedule, the previous...

Here's this for you: HD03 HD04 HD05 I remove the links after a few days.

I think the AMC-21 feeds are meant solely for affiliates, and maybe don't want any unwanted viewers watching them (they have to know, right?) PBS opened up a 'Request for Information' phase back in April for more information about their interconnection system, known as sIX. That same press...

Even though I have a 32" Ku-Band dish, my neighbor gave me an old HD Dish Network dish about a month ago. I was curious if this would work with Ku-Band if I replaced the LNBFs with one singular Ku-Band LNBF? Here's what the dish looks like (it looks similar to this):

On September 23rd, Decades is set to air an episode of Our Miss Brooks! This series hasn't been seen nationally in over 15+ years! Any thoughts about this?

On the topic of infomercials, (this is off-topic) but do you remember when TV stations used to sign off? By that, I meant they aired a customized sign off usually containing the national anthem? Then after that, some would air static or color bars? Those were the days! Nowadays, they all air...

It's that time of the year when Me-TV changes the Fall schedule to make room for new shows and remove a few others. From what I've seen, there's only 2 ‘new’ shows coming to Me-TV this year. Those two shows are Matlock and Have Gun - Will Travel. Any thoughts? And what shows would you like to...
