The cost of all the commercials during the Lost Series Finale is easily enough to buy an entire satellite... (... in other words, if ABC happened to be on AMC-11, they would be renting space elsewhere right now in time for May 23rd...)

So what else is available FTA in HD at 97 West ?

It's not a new channel - just moving. See: Fashion TV

If you are looking for Fashion TV North America (for such shows as "Midnight Hot" and the March Rio Carnival broadcasts), they have moved to a different 97 West transponder and can be found at: 12,060 MHz Horizontal 22000 FEC: Auto Enjoy ! PS They have launched an HD version of the...

Not much time left, but better only 10 minutes early than never !

Here's a Pic (I had that 30-inch dish pointed to 123w, but I didn't watch any of those channels, so I decided to use the dish exclusively for 129 for Dish-HD, hence the DishPro LNB):

I have used lettuce ties - those big blue twist ties that keep the lettuce leaves together. :D I was considering starting a thread with pictures called " Lettuce Get More Channels " :D But over the long weekend, I replaced them with nicer looking twist ties. :)

I have my Mercury II hooked up to the same Olevia 542i model that Anole owns, using component cables and the picture is as good as the channels are uplinking. BVN is especially good, and RTPi is quite good as well. FTV is not bad, but since I have HD now, I tend to watch UltraHD which has...

I won an ebay auction for a Skyview 31 inch dish - the seller had it finish at a weird time, with the result that I got it for about $10 - only one other bidder. Shipping was about $30 to me, probably because I am in the same state. I do use it for G10R, and it works, although the signal is...

NPR is a radio channel, not a TV channel. As such is it is already "FTA", because it is available everywhere in the US on OTA radio channels (which are subsidized by the government). The presence of NPR on Sirius/XM is a convenience for satellite radio users, so they don't have to have both...

What switches do you have ? The Mercury II has some issues with switches that they are still working on...

I have tuned today to RTP Internacional for the soccer match (they show any major soccer match played in Portugal), and so noticed later that there was a documentary, and it has English subtitles. So, add RTPI to the list (on AMC4 and some other sats as well).

Unfortunately, ASC Flix & ASC Extra just went scrambled. :(

Now that I've used the Fortec Mercury II for a few weeks, there are some annoyances: - Adding a channel to a Favorite List is rather tedious: Press Channel Edit on Remote Move to Favorites and Click Move to the particular favorite list and click Click on Menu to exit Move to Save and click...

I'm just referring to stable FTA channels such as found in Lyngsat. I'm also just referring to English subtitled or English dubbed programming that was originally in foreign languages. There are numerous English FTA channels of two types - Religious channels, and OTA Local channels - but I...

I thought I would start a thread where people could list FTA channels that are foreign language, but have English subtitles. It can be fun to look at other cultures - expecially if you know what they are talking about ! (BTW, for those reading this who aren't aware, Russia Today and Al...

I read in a number of Forum threads about new firmware releases that fix various problems with receivers. So, I have a question - especially for those of you with experience with a variety of receivers - which manufacturer has the most bug-free receiver firmware (software) ?? I'd like this...

The cheapest FTA receiver that is generally recommended in this Forum is the Travis 3500, and the best deal is from a Forum member PSB, at: http://www.psbsatellite.com It has blind scan. It's main disadvantage is no AC3 output, but that may not be important for you. BTW, currently no...

Follow the directions on the Fortec Star web site ! Uh, while you are up there, can you tap it slightly so that we get a better signal here on the West Coast ? Thanks !! :D

You'll need a 30-inch dish or larger, and a Ku-band LNBF.

It's definitely true that hard disk drives last longer if they run continuously, instead of turning them off and on. (That directly from a hard drive engineer.) I have less direct information on solid state electronics, but I have also heard that the cooling/heating/cooling/heating cycle caused...

You can Fox Soccer Channel or Gol TV on many cable systems (and Dish Network and Directv). You can get Setanta Sports over the Internet ("Setanta Broadband") Plenty of soccer on the Internet, in fact.

:)

In my case, I plug a C Crane FM Transmitter into the A/V Receiver that the Fortec Mercury II is connected to: http://ccrane.com/radios/fm-transmitters/fm-transmitter.aspx Then I wear Sony FM Headphones: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SRFH4-Analog-Tuning-Headphone/dp/B0001M3N7O/ tuned to the...

In my case, the key to approval for extra dishes was FTV. Now she can see the latest fashions within hours of the runway shows. (I am fortunate that FTV has suspended its plans to scramble.) So, I agree with ke4est - it's a matter of what new channels you can provide that she will want to...
