    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    It looks like at this point , I only lost the Pansat 2700 and the Superjack. The Lnb's seem to have survived as well as everything else. Looks like I'll be stuck watching analog for awhile until I get the $$$$ to replace the Pansat. I'm looking at HD FTA receivers. Is it worth shelling out the...

    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    Well, I changed out actuators and went from the 24" Superjack back to my old 18" Superjack. The 18 inch works so it looks like the 24" is shot. The Cal Amp c-band LNB seems to have survived as I'm getting analog channels on my old GI receiver. I have not tested my KU lnb yet. Are there any...

    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    Well I woke up this morning, turned on my Pansat 2700 and no lights. It appears that lightning struck my 8 footer sometime during the night. I'm not sure how much damage has been done yet. The TV and all the other equiptment in my living room (except for the Pansat) seems to be OK. The dish...

    KUEN low signal and ONN gone

    Sometimes I get ONN at 45% and then while I'm watching it , it will drop down to around 15% . If I leave it on long enough, it will jump back to 45%. Also, it seems if I tweak the dish to get ONN up to 65% , my reception on my western c-band satellites suffer.

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    It's odd that Photoman is still able to receive Euronews' audio on his Twinham card. Drhydro and I are both using Pansat 2700A receivers and are unable to receive the audio streams. I wonder if the problem is affecting DVB boxes in general or just some quirk with Pansats? Anyone out there with a...

    Any D* users also use FTA?

    I subscibe to D***net, and also have an FTA system. I like FTA for all the network affiliates all over the US, for channels like Euronews and BBC World that aren't available on D***net, and for the asian programming that my wife watches. Plus, it's fun to look for new channels that appear and...

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    Now, the audio on IMF is normal again. Euronews, however, still has the same problem, but that is the only channel that does.

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    I tried deleting both channels and rescanning again, and it doesn't seem to help. The video and Audio Pid's are correct. I'm using a Pansat 2700A receiver. As I said, all other channels are fine, it's just these two.

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    Audio on Euronews and IMF Hi, I'm having a problem with the audio on 2 channels on IA- 13 . For the last week or so, the audio on Euronews and IMF (V-3900 1250 3/4 27.684) has been screwed up (at least on my equiptment). The picture is great , but I can't receive any sound. All my other...

    PAS 9 Problem

    I made a few adjustments to the lnb and everything is back clear and strong. The only channels I can't get are KXLA and KJLA on Galaxy 11 . It looks like they may be scrambled. Has anyone else had any luck with them?

    PAS 9 Problem

    Hi, Is anyone having problems getting the channels on PAS 9 ? I have never had any problem getting NHK, CCTV, Arirang, and DW TV. Today, I can't seem to get most of the channels. I did a blind scan, and got NHK back in fine, but CCTV and the others are either really choppy or gone. Also...

    FTA With BUD & Pansat 2700

    Got the New Cal -Amp LNB and replaced the old LNB. It helped alot with the "tiling" I was getting on certain channels, but did not help much at all with signal strength. So, I got my tape measurer out and found that my feedhorn is exactly centered. The next thing I did was started adjusting...

    FTA With BUD & Pansat 2700

    I just ordered a California Amplifier Extended Professional II model 140105-1 17-degree LNB. Hopefully, this will stop the tiling I'm getting on some channels and bring G4 TV's signal to the point where it is stable. I'm hoping it gets here tomorrow. Has anyone on here used this particular LNB?

    FTA With BUD & Pansat 2700

    I got the specs for the Cal-Amp Mini-mag. From the best I can figure, it's a 30 degree LNB with 65 db gain. From what I've read about it, the stability is horrible for this model. It worked great for analog (most channels got 100% signal) , but for DVB it seems to be so-so. I swapped it out with...

    FTA With BUD & Pansat 2700

    I'm not sure of the degree of the LNB. How would I tell ? It is a California Amplifier Mini-Mag and is probably about 10 years old. Seems to be a fairly common LNB, but since this was used with an analog system, I wasn't sure how it would work with a DVB system. The channels on the other...

    FTA With BUD & Pansat 2700

    I just finished hooking up my new Pansat 2700A to my 8.5 ft Bud. I am using a Corrotor 2 feedhorn with an older California Amplifier Mini-mag LNB. I have the polarizer connected to the 3 terminals on the back of the Pansat, and I am using my old GI analog receiver to move the actuator. I have...
