    EPG on Cuban Mux on Hispasat

    Hi Guys and Girls, Long Time no See !, I had to move and left my C/Ku Band setup behind so now I am thinking on building a new one again so I guess I am back on this site. I noticed the cuban channels added them all in MPEG4 and with EPG now (they are all duplicated now , 8 as MPEG2 and 8 as...

    hispasat 30W (TV CABO zon) in canada

    TVI International in SD at 11972H 27500, strong despite 5/6 FEC but sadly encrypted , sometimes goes ITC but briefly. You need an MPEG4 capable receiver though , for instance , viewsats ultra would log them in (tv universitaria with AAC audio from a central american country i think as well) but...

    what is the minimum size of dish to use Ku/C Band Lnbf

    A 6 footer would be the minimum for an acceptable c band use across the arc. Theoretically 8.5 ft as Brian says is enough with 10 feet as the popular choice to grab everything. Bigger better so if you can go 12 ft.

    Closed Captioning on Any HD Receiver?

    Brian I just tried all 3 3ABN channels on 97W and none display any subtitle neither they light up the subtitle icon on the Azbox Prem +. When I press the subtitle key it only says OFF in the language list. These feeds that I just mentioned are coming from Europe but some are from NA like the Met...

    Closed Captioning on Any HD Receiver?

    The DVB based subtitles acctually work on the Azbox Prem+ but feeds that carry them are hard to find. Follow Pendragon's Opera feeds over at Rick's and try them (usually 79W, 87W, 55.5W or 58W). When you tune in the Opera feed use the subtitle key on the Azbox remote and it will bring the...

    Complete newbie

    if you have a satellite 2 way splitter you can split the dish network line and then connect 1 output to the S10 and the other out to the DN receiver. The original DN receiver will control the switch so at least you get something down the coaxial line , therefore if you blind scan with the S10...

    Hope, 3ABN, Al Jazeera Gone

    A blind scan of G19 should come up with 262 TV and 144 Radio channels respectively. 80 cm dishes have a hard time figthing interference on 97W on some TP specially weak ones like 11842H. That is why when you slightly bend the dish pulling from the top left from behind (by deforming its parabolic...

    Montana pbs impossible to catch

    IMO the easiest ones are the mux at 12180V. I blind scanned the other day with an S10 and it only logged 1 ch on 12140V.I also noticed LPBS being so strong lately and even with an 80 cm motorised (Stab 90, USALS) the same S10 blind scanned all PBS available including the feeds (to my surprise, I...

    learning 2nd language for fta

    Bob2011, In regards of the Spanish subtitles on the US movies on Cubavision,there are 2 kinds. The ones made by the cuban translation service provided by the ICRT (every translation comprises 3 specialists , a translator, a grammar corrector, and the actual person typing the text I guess (plus...

    Line of site and beamwidth

    And the size of the windows is? , I mean, Is it the size of the dish or do you have to use the Fresnel Lenses theory to calculate it taking into consideration the distance to the obstacle and obviously how far the source is (the sat at 36 000 km) and both ends heigths. I would assume because the...

    Is KU FTA circling the drain?

    Dont forget Canal Vasco on Ku 30W to follow on todays ETA big and historic announcement that they are definitely stopping the use of violence in Pais Basque. Hopefully they will demilitarise and will continue as a political force using democratic means only in the future to achieve peace in...

    Mike kohl on sat talk live

    Eurosports, if the sats themself have not yet fallen neither will, their loose names lol. I always use the orbital location since as far as I am concern all I care is the signals I get from that orbital location not if it is Hispasat 1E or 1D. Sat operators on the contrary must name the sats...

    DVB subtitles with Coolsat 8100 HD

    I do not think so. I think the CS8XXX only has analog close captions capabilities not DVB based subtitles. And I think they do not work via hdmi either you have to use the old composite output. BTW I do not think one can find much tv stations using dvb based subtitles on our NA arc , maybe some...

    TVE America @ 30W

    works fine here on several receivers (FS, Ariza, CW, CS , VS) with an 80 cm. I like Vaya Semanita on Canal Vasco, usually thrsdays at 7 or 8 pm after the Teleberry (news). I had a CS8100 and a VS Ultra that refused to lock it yet the other same model receivers worked fine. sometimes the tuner...

    gbox 3000 with old actuator. doesn't switch satellites.

    platwound is right on the money, you will have to adapt a reed switch sensor system on the old arm like i did on my old V76-1 Von Weiss. nothing wrong with the gbox. it always moves a bit when triggered but it has to stop right away because there is no sensor feedback , funny is that it has to...

    CCTV now on Galaxy 19 (97W)

    try playing with the skew . well, first, this is not the recommended solution , you are not supposed to use only 1 lnb to hit 2 birds on a fixed dish. but being CCTV is H on 95W and that same frecuency is vertical on the adjacent bird 97W try finding the sweet spot by skewing the LNB and also by...

    gbox 3000 with old actuator. doesn't switch satellites.

    So you mean that the Dish acctually moves and you get the signal (by using the receiver) but the reading on the front of the Gbox is still 0000?. If that is the case then you must have a defective GBOX , it apparently clikcs the relay contacts and also receives the sensor pulses and stops...
