That must be "Red Ken" former mayor of London? I am happy to report that Press TV is still on air here a week after it was "banned". An economic embargo against Iran is one thing but banning their TV channel is too much. It reminds me of the way the Soviets carried on jamming shortwave...

I think I am right when I say that Galaxy 97 is owned by a company in Luxembourg. Could the signal be uplinked in Europe and beamed to North America? (legally, I mean)

All that legal and governmental effort and the very channel turns up a day later on the same satellite! Wonders never cease.

So when is SES3 due to start broadcasting?

Hyuk :boom::rip:

Hmm, that's good to know... Maybe I will add an LNB to my setup too. It doesn't cost much. Thanks.

Is It Worth It? How much difference can it really make to turn the LNB by 26 degrees? The cosine of thirty degrees is 87% so we are talking about a loss of signal of only 11 or 12% without turning the LNB. Most of the Ku signals on that bird are pretty weak anyway. :confused:

One time I surfed by Cool TV and they were showing the Rolling Stones performing "She's so Cold". It made my day!

Eleven days ago it was strong. Last night when I checked it was dead.

Ya.

I had problems with my setup for years because I overtightened. It bent the bracket of my sg2100 motor out of shape so then the dish wasn't following the arc even though the pole was plumb. I fixed it with shims.

Ya, it's strong here today, too. Thom Hartman (who I know from RT) is on. I like him.

I'm not getting it here in Toronto. Micro HD with a 1m dish. I need better aiming or a bigger dish.

The special effects sucked......

My SG2100 is shimmed so much it's ridiculous. I suspect that not only is the bracket a piece of junk but the threaded holes on the motor aren't lined up with the shaft!

Start by knowing your latitude and longitude and after that find your angle of declination. All this is available via Google. Terminology Problem: The angle of declination you are talking about is to compensate for the bend in the motor arm. I am pretty sure it's thirty degrees. The angle of...

I want my microHD.

Well I've got the same problem as the OP. The girlfriend says a six-foot dish is an eyesore. We jointly own the house 50-50 so sometimes there has got to be compromise. I would have a six footer by now but I understand that she doesn't want a big dish sullying her backyard garden. Whatever. I...

What happened to that other "Green Dish" thread? It was really interesting.

?

I had a lot of freedom when I was a kid and I feel sorry for kids these days, whose parents are just too paranoid.I had a great time riding my banana bike around in Guelph, Ontario, just exploring or going to visit my childhood sweetheart, L.M.. At the cottage I spent endless hours with my good...

Posession is Nine Tenths of the Law If the signals land on my property which I own and which I pay taxes on, I feel like I have some sort of right, legal or not, to those signals even if they are scrambled. The problem comes when people unscramble and re-sell the signals: those are the crooks...

Reminds me or counterfeit DVDs. How can people stand giving their money to these crooks? Are people really so gullible or just cheap?

Well they're hackable but only with a real time internet connection so your unique IP address is stamped all over it. It's OK if you want to get caught, I guess.

Encryption is an Interesting Subject Encryption is an interesting subject. Nearly all of us do our banking online and aren't concerned about having our communication with the bank intercepted in real time. I think that's because the encryption algorithm provides a very secure connection. No...
