    CGNTV No Audio

    Before I start grasping for straws, I was hoping someone would tune CGN in and verify that they are broadcasting audio with their video. I get audio with most the FTA channels on AMC4 besides the encrypted TAN TV channels we subscribe to. Just a problem with audio on CGN. Doesn't look like a...

    CGNTV No Audio

    Subscribe to TANTV package on 101 AMC4 and get audio on the encrypted channels but the one FTA channel, CGN, video is OK but no audio. Called TANTV and they went through the remote control audio settings drill but I already tried that and nothing worked. Is there a broadcast audio problem? If...

    AMC-4 Down this Morning?

    I don't have a better explanation than yours even though the weather here this morning when I was experiencing the problem was clear and cold (20F). Glad I didn't go outside to troubleshoot a non-existent problem.

    AMC-4 Down this Morning?

    Did AMC-4 have problems this morning? I was not getting any signals but turned on the receiver a few mins ago and all was fine again. When the problem first occurred, I did a hard reboot but to no avail.

    I need clear step-by-step instructions to update the software to my PANSAT 2000V. I downloaded the update software from the PANSAT site but could not find any instructions and what to do next. Appreciate any knowledgeable help.

    Noob help! (LNB & dish size questions)

    The Ku-band in the so called Free to Air Satellite - - an incorrect term IMO - - is referred to by the FCC and ITU as Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and requires a minimum of a 30" dish in most parts of CONUS. FSS uses vertical and horizontal polarization. The higher powered Broadcast Satellite...

    Thanks to Scott for his Blog

    E* Does not want the competition We subscribe to international programming on AMC 4 that costs less than what E* offers and has some better Korean channels in the package (TANTV). I don't think Chuckey wants the programming competition that FTA offers (and it ain't necessarily free).

    Chieta 0/22 KHz Switch WSD-2001

    I receive 97 and 101 via a DiSeqC 2-way switch. It isn't working good and I want to change it out with the WSD-2001 switch. What switch setting on the receiver do I need to get this 2-way Chieta switch to work if that's even possible? I have a PANSAT 6000 XHC. Thanks

    LNB amplifier

    It's Doubtful it will Help It should work with digital services such as so-called FTA, plus Echostar and DirecTV because the output of the LNBF is analog and NOT digital. The digital signal occurs at the output of the demodulator inside the receiver. However, there are other issues besides...

    KIBS (korean Channel)

    It's encrypted My wife used to watch KISB before it was encrypted with VIACCESS. Once in a while they remove the encryption for some reason but it only stays unencrypted for a few days. TAN TV also encrypted with VIACCESS shortly after KISB did which forced her to subscribe to the...

    New Pansat 6000

    Got it Working!! Got it working. I wish the owners manual was better written. I got the Diseqc switch set for #2 and manually selected AMC4 to scan:o . Appreciate the attemps to help me. The one minor thing I don't care for is when I select TAN TV, it first says that it's scrambled but a few...

    New Pansat 6000

    On the 6000 when you change the LNB setting it automatically changes the local oscillator Freqs. Universal 1 is correct and yes the upper LO freq is 10600. I will try an FTA web site as most folks here seems to be E* and D* savy but limited (like me) on FTA set up. It just irks me that the...

    New Pansat 6000

    I am replacing my PANSAT 2000V with a PANSAT 6000HXC. I have a 2X1 DiSEq switch for AMC4 and T5. No problem on the 2000V but the 6000 only picks up the T5. I got the output of tuner 1 going into tuner 2 like the instuctions say but still no dice. I've fooled with all the DiSeq setting, have the...

    LNB advice

    Going to a better LNB will give you somewhat better performance but the best way to improve G/T is with a larger dish. On a 30 inch Hot Dish I swapped out a FORTEC STAR LNB with advertised NF of 0.5db and gain of 50db low band and 62.5 db high band with a BeauSat LNB with advertised NF of 0.3db...

    RTP International/Portugal AMC4

    Universal LNB Lower Quality? I don't think it's correct to infer that the Universal LNBs are inferior to standard LNBs. I have two Big Sat International Universal LNBs on two mediocre HotDish75 antennas and get the following readings on AMC-4: TP1 86% SS/64% SQ TP2 85% SS/48% SQ TP4 85%...

    Hotdish 95 &/or DD90 Dishes

    Hot Dish vs Winegard I have two Hot Dish 75s and an uninstalled Winegard 2078. The Hot Dish has a smaller mount and significantly smaller gauge steel on all parts. When windy the Hot Dish 75s can flex enough to loose the signal. Fortunately my Hot Dishes are out of the prevailing winds so I...

    FSS Hot Dish 75 Elevation Marker

    I am attempting my first FSS installation with the HotDish75. I'm having a tough time finding Telstar 5 (IA5 now). Is the elevation marker on this particular dish the center of the adjusting bolt, the forward edge of the adjusting bolt. or somewhere else? The manufacturer's installation...
