So far, I'm pretty much coming up empty on the Ku band. Have tried known NBC news feed locations, as well as blind scans of several birds. Nada.

I am curious what we might expect to find in the way of Olympics coverage, beyond the standard network coverage. I would think that there must be C band feeds, but unfortunately I'm only set up for Ku. Anybody recall any past Winter or Summer Olympics and what kind of satellite action there...

Actually, Lyngsat has them listed at 11735 H 4444 for what that's worth

I will certainly be watching the election coverage this evening. But I have sort of a dumb question: What is it about the election feeds that will hold the viewer's interest? Let me explain... If there is a breaking news story going on in some other part of the country (hurricane, Calif wild...

Congrats, knew you could get this up and running! With you lock on G10R/18, you may find the following link helpful: RTN Programming Now, if you can just pry the remote out of your family member's hands so you get a chance to play.

If I can offer up a suggestion... 1) Take your big dish mounted on the motor, and reset the motor to zero. 2) With power completely off at the back switch of the receiver, or better yet unplugged, install the sat signal finder meter out at the dish. 3) I might also be inclined to remove...

The PVR capabilities do exist today. You have to purchase an external hard drive and connect it to either the front or back USB port. Some of the PVR features are still a bit limiting. You can record whatever you are watching by simply hitting the record button on your remote. Or, you can set it...

I haven't been following this thread since day one, so I'm jumping in kinda late. But let me reassure CenterFreq that he is NOT trying to do something impossible. About 2 years ago, I had no idea what FTA was, let alone own a system. I had no nearby friends who were into this hobby, and no local...

From the reading I have done on these models, it sounds like Viewsat has introduced the MaxHD as the more price competitive little brother to the 9000HD. They both have the same processor speed and quantity of on-board memory, and the 9000HD's user interface looks like it has been cloned for the...

I sure wish there was one website that had an RTN timetable grid showing all the affiliates and their show schedule. I've thought about tossing together my own Excel spreadsheet but don't have a lot of extra time right now. If anybody comes across anything like this, please post. Thanks.

#47: You see that your town has been placed under a severe thunderstorm watch, and your first concern is rain fade. #48: On a winter day, as you climb the ladder to your sloped roof, you notice the snow and ice up there, but keep climbing anyway. (true story)

This year will be my first Super Bowl since installing my FTA system (9 months ago). For watching the actual broadcast of the game, I will tune in to my local OTA affiliate which gives me the least compressed HD signal. But I have also been wondering about whether there might be any other type...

I think he misunderstood the question. Maybe he is talking about taking the component output from the 9200HD and running it into a standalone DVD recorder.

Thanks. I took a look at the 6 HD units in the link Anole posted, and was able to trim the list down a bit. Captain 8000HD:down Doesn't appear to support hard disk recording at all CaptiveWorks CW3000HD :down I heard that this unit doesn't support motor control yet. For me to go with a box...

My wife frequently uses a DVD recorder to time-slide network broadcasts. Her DVD recorder recently died and I have been looking for a replacement. For her purposes, a hard disk based system would be much better. I refuse to buy a TiVo unit because of the fees and the "big brother" approach...

Yes Iceberg, Lyngsat has been where I have been finding the FEC values I have been entering. I just never realized how they impact the receiver performance. I completely buy into the explanation that the 1/2 factor allows for more error, so I am able to watch shows with a very low Q. However...

Interesting. I've always just been punching in the appropriate FEC without ever knowing how the numbers affect the ability to receive/process the signal. Now I understand. :hatsoff: Always learning something new.

I realize that the Signal and Quality meters vary from one receiver model to the next. On my Viewsat Ultra, if I'm watching a newsfeed or a G10 RTN channel I can generally get as low as 18-20 on the Q before I notice the picture breaking up. Last night I motored over to White Springs, a...

Last night I was thinking about all the man-hours I have tied up in entering my receiver data. (Adding new satellites, editing TPs, making lists of favorites, deleting unwanted channels, etc.) I also remembered an incident 5 months ago when my receiver inexplicably hiccuped and lost all of...

Yes, ESPN360 is distributed to viewers over the internet, so traditionally you need a computer and the right internet service provider to watch it. Unlike the other ESPN channels, you cannot receive ESPN360 through normal cable TV providers or satellite subscription services. Thus my dillema...

College football is fast approaching, and checking schedules I see that some of the games I will want to catch are only carried by ESPN360. My high speed internet provider (Comcast) does not carry ESPN360. I am wondering if anyone has ever tripped across ESPN360 feeds. Ku or C? encrypted...

I've had the Viewsat Ultra for about a month and haven't had any problems controlling an SG2100. Personally, for the extra $20 or so, I'd choose the Ultra over the Xtreme. (still easily under your $200 limit)

The sat meter was installed between the receiver and the motor, aprox 3 feet from the motor. It was installed there for about two weeks as I diddled with things and fine tuned the dish arc. Yesterday, I removed the meter and replaced it with a grounding block, which gives me the two female...

I too, have recently been installing a new Ultra and have found that the motor controls have been working well. I am using an SG2100 and the Diseqc switch that came with the receiver. I did not change the bin file. The only quirky thing I noticed, and you tell me if I'm nuts, had to do with...
