If you are into MLB or NBA, I strongly recommend it. The backhauls of MLB and NBA on C-band IA6, IA5 and G4 are easily receivable, using an analog receiver, 1.2M dish and a C-band LNBF for offset dish (from EITS). I managed to get a few games at the end of the past NBA season. Too bad I...

There is something funny about the Globecast receiver. Among all the FTA receiving device I have (DMT 1000, Globecast, Twinhan 1050A), the Globecast receiver is the only one that gets me Azteca 7 & 13 on IA6. None of the other devices can lock the signal.

Just to get analog sport backhauls, a 4" (1.2M) is adequate. I hooked up the C-band LNBF on my 4' back in April, and just managed to get some NBA backhauls on IA-6 C-band before the end of the season. The video has a few sparkles, but definitely watchable.

All FTA receivers/PCI card can be used to get FTA programming from DBS band, i.e. Dish Network or Bell Expressvu. Just set the L.O.B. frequency to 11250 instead of the usual 10750. As PSB said, L=H & R=V I just remember it as L is closer to H and R is closer to V in the alphabets.

A dual mode LNBF is nice, but it cost $77.00 (on your site), not including shipping. And using a one-dish/dual mode LNBF solution, you need an SG-2100 motor, which cost $70 with shipping from Ebay at the lowest. So we are talking about a $150-$160 solution. A 2nd dish with LNBF + DiSeQC...

Globecast receiver can be used for FTA programming. I use it to get both Setanta and TV Azetca on IA6. If you want Setanta and GolTV, why bother with a motor? Get another 18" dish that points to echostar 110, a circular LNBF, and use a DiSEQC switch. It takes less than 5 minutes to setup...

These signals are somehow bounced to this side of the planet (actually, it's relayed thru' another satellite), but they are transmitted to North America to make money, i.e. for PROFITS. In other words, the transmission to this side of the pond is encrypted. They don't want you to watch the show...

About 5-6 years ago, I noticed the beam of one of the Brasilsats reached Florida. Forget which one. I was curious about that, because why would Brasilsat beam to Florida? A co-worker from Brasil told me that there were lots of Brasilians living in Florida.

On the yahoo backhaul pages, I've seen a lot of sport feeds listed as HD 4:2:0 AC3 I know we are out of luck with AC3 audio. My question is, for these HD 4:2:0 feeds, can I receive them with my legacy 4:2:0 receivers? I have a DMT1050 and a Globecast.

There are only two channels on G10R that I am interested in. Most of the regulars here know which two. On Sunday: Cardinals vs Lions came in really bad. The signal strength went down to about 65% on my DMT1050. It's all broken up. Vikings vs Giants came in really good. Signal strength...

Oh, now I understand your question. You want to get FTA in Chile. Sure, your Pansat would work. First, the GLA LNB won't work. You need a KU-band linear LNB, which is widely available in the U.S. A Universal LNB that you see on Ebay is even much better. Second, the GLA dish is also too...

Your DirecTV Latin America receivers/LNB won't work in the U.S. In the U.S., you need a completely new setup for FTA. If you want DirecTV USA, you stil need a new setup. Even if you want DirecTV Latin America (GLA), you Chilean setup won't work here because Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and...

I've encountered some very strange behavior on IA6 Ku. I have 3 FTA devices, 2 set-top boxes (DMT1050 and Globecast) and 1 Twinhan 1020A. Using my DMT1050, I try to connect to IA6 Ku for TV Azteca. Of course, I'll try the stronger transponder first: 11864V, SR 3515, the one with the...

EuroSports are available in North America in 2 ways: 1) the soccer games on Eurosports are sold to PPV providers in Canada, mainly for close-circuit (pubs) telecast. I just found out about this a couple weeks ago. Of course, it's not like you have a 24/7 Eurosports channel at home...

There are still a couple network affliates out there ITC, but it's best not to talk about it here. The NFL is banking on us spending $239 on Sunday Ticket. They don't plan to let us watch the games on some backwater Fox or CBS for free. We all know why we want to watch the Fox and CBS only on...

Do you happen to have the new symbol rate? thanks.

Like most of the football fans I also have a favorite team, but I like watching football the bar's way: many games simultaneously. Watching 1 game at a time is no fun at all... Yesterday I was watching 4 simultaneously on 3 TVs and one on an LCD monitor (using a Twinhan card). Altogether I...

You mean your package doesn't include all the CH or Globals? That's news to me. I thought carrying all the Canadian locals are mandatory for any DBS package. Or is it only meant for BEV?

For listing of college football games, go this this yahoo page: /groups.yahoo.com/group/backhaul You have to become a member to get in. It's free registration. You can't believe the # games people posted there. On a typical Saturday, it's like 20-30 games easy. The satellite...

The piece of land on the upper left hand corner on the footprint map is NOT Canada. It's Greenland. Had the footprint included Canada, I would have moved to the Maritimes after retirement...

Iceberg, I think you are getting short-changed. Using my setup of local channels (San Fran), *C and FTA, these are the games I get: Raiders/Patriots (already watched) Texans/Bills Jets/Chiefs Broncos/Dolphins Bucs/Vikings Bears/Redskins Saints/Panthers Seahawks/Jaguars...

I have a 120cm dish. I point it to AMC4 for RTPi right now. Very strong signal (98%). I used to point the dish at IA5 and just hang an LNB on the side to pick up AMC4. RTPi also came in good, at 80+%. Using the 120cm for one MPEG2/DVB channel is a waste (I intend to use it for C-band analog...

I know a new receiver won't work. As for a used receiver, I know it will work but don't know for how long, as I am not sure whether it has to be re-hit occasionally. You may want to post your question in this forum...

The first line on that transponder is NOT a channel. In satellite term, it's the name of the "bouquet", or an umbrella of channels. All the channels in a bouquet use the same encoding format. The only exception is that in analog channels, you only get 1 channel on 1 transponder. So there is...

Thanks for all the input... It looks like the Vbox type of devices are small, but they certainly aren't cheap. It would be more economical to get a used Diseqc-1.2 enabled receiver than getting one of these boxes... And the PCI card solution is certainly a good one, at least for me. I've...
