It seems that every online vendor of FTA antennas is gone. I did reach Sadoun yesterday, but it sounds like he's downsized substantially. So, point me in the right direction to a distributor. I've got a customer who has an old Channel Master but it's missing the mounting hardware. I told...

It also has to do with the actual satellite transponder and how much power is allowed by the carriers. Sometimes, certain transponders on different satellites have pads that will prevent the transmitter from over saturating and possibly interfering with signals on the opposite polarity. If you...

The tx/rx OMT will work fine since it's designed to work with one pole vertical and the other horizontal. I repurposed a few VSAT antenna as RO antennas and used the existing OMT and they work great.

Improvement to programming = advertising dollars. They are getting a lot of competition from MeTV, This, and starting 1/1/13 NBC's Cozi and all the others. Most of these have some serious money behind them. Now that "nostalgic" programming is being sought by programmers for their digital...

Exactly. With MPEG4 (H.264) and HOM, the need for 4:2:2 has diminished drastically. Rarely do I see transmission orders requiring 4:2:2.

You may be getting RFI from a microwave link that fires up.....especially true since this is C Band and susceptible to terrestrial microwave interference. Most likely telephone company mw.

This is the SR I use in my sat truck on a 2.4m antenna and my IRD (an Ericsson RX-8200) seems to like it fine. I'm tending to think that the antenna got knocked a bit (it's on a non-pen mount) and may need to be repeaked.

I'll have to put my spec an on it - antenna may need to be repeaked.

My 1.2m is fixed on AMC 9 - getting Newchannel 3F no problem. Manually entered parameters but nothing.

Strange. I did another blind scan and it didn't show up. 11735H 4.444 SR right?

Has the little mux that could (RTV) on AMC 9 gone away?

It's possible that there is a pad on this transponder, but the uplink and the satellite owner would know this and compensate for it. Is you carrier in a MUX or by itself? If in a MUX, can you determine if the power level is balanced with the other carriers contained in the MUX?

My only question is: Why, in this day and age, would a vendor ONLY accept American Express and not Visa/MC or Paypal? I would like to buy one for our company, but I'm not issued an AMEX, nor do I have company checks available for COD. And his website could stand an upgrade.

The RTV schedule is very flexible for stations. Some can take the whole enchilada 24/7 or they can cherry pick what they want to air. The affiliates probably don't have to adhere to any type of schedule for playing the show. All RTV is concerned with is that they air their (RTV's) commercial...

Guess it depends on what you like. Both Naked City (a crime drama set in New York) and Route 66 (an anthology drama that follows two guys travelling the highways and biways of the USA in a Corvette) are a nice change from some of the other programs that they have been airing. Glad they finally...

Tuned in RTV today for the first time in awhile..... They were airing "The Naked City" followed by "Route 66". Looks like they're giving their Universal 80s library a rest for awhile. I went to the RTV website and could only find the only schedule. Nothing I found reflected the new schedule...

Let's be thankful that they're not pushing back the picture and running a realtime video promo in the corner....now that would be annoying!

"Highway Patrol" was developed by the California Highway Patrol as a vehicle similar to Dragnet. The show did not represent the California Highway Patrol, but a Highway Patrol bureau in a western state. For some more info, I found this site that's got some good info. Highway Patrol...

The dishes were made by a company called Miralite in Orange County, California. They have since gone out of the dish makin' business and now focus on IP Video delivery. CBS News uses their services to push video stories from their servers in New York to the affiliates.

Thank for the tip. Unfortunately I can only get "This" when I'm travelling. Fortunately, I was able to acquire a complete DVD set of the series.

If you still need help, I'm in the San Diego area and can verify your installation. PM me if are in need of assistance.

Probably to protect themselves from having unscrupulous television stations grabing the feed and replacing the network commercial inventory with their own, thus making more money that what they would be making as an affiliate. This is why America One is encrypted. Also, there are licensing...

I was watching RTV and TUFF yesterday with no issues. And why would you assume NBC Newschannel's colorbars on AMC9/3F are annoying. They're there for a reason.

Looks like Tribute Television has a service called Antenna TV that, at least in Los Angeles, replaced THIS. Has anyone located where their satellite feed is at?

Oh, I forgot the L-Band conversion for those so inclined..... 0000
