    question about the Amc 1 ku band skew

    Well i am getting all of the nbc occasional channels, the nbc central,west,ect. I get the ots nbc channel, also the Sunday Night football backhaul feeds. I scanned in a s2 hd figure skating feed last night that was nbc, I am guessing I am getting everything on the bird.

    Dish and motor adjustments

    yeah you are hitting 125 with the sd07 channel, that is a pbs. Alot of the 125 pbs channels are in hd though. the sat 123 is a good one and the signal is strong there too. You should be able to hit both sats at a high quality if tuned in right. I had the same problem once...

    UpLink Locations

    Yeah I make note of network feeds and sports feed locations. I have noticed for example, one of my local abc channels uses the same sat and tp alot if not all the time. I saved the channel and at times just simply flip to it and they have a feed up.

    question about the Amc 1 ku band skew

    I hear of this oddball skew you need for the AMC 1 nbc feeds. My question is this, I have a motorized 1.2 meter dish and I am hitting the nbc channels just fine, I know my dish is not skewed much at 103* so is there really alot more I could hit out there if I skewed my lnb? Also on a...

    Noob - FTA - HELP!

    With the world direct dish you would just use the linear lnb and if you hit the satellite at 97* Galaxy 25, you will find over 200 international channels for free. You can swing over to the AMC 9 satellite at 83* and scan it in to get three channels called tuff,pbj,and rtv. Rtv and...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    lol funny jokes! Anyhow the dish is quite heavy, and with the dg280 I dont know, all i can think is it is straining a bit to lift back up from 125* to 113, my due south sat is 93* so I am 32 degrees out to the west at 125. Once I get back to the 113 and 105 range areas the rest of the...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    yeah it is just those certain sats I have really having the problems with. I am gonna get a dg380 soon, I heard they have automatic slack adjustment so I could never have to worry about them messing up. I mean it isnt bad really because before they said a dg280 could push this dish I have as...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    yes sorry guys for late response. I am using a dg280. I am using diseqc and not usals as I have better luck with diseqc. Here is the latest on it. I went through today and realigned and changed my motor positions since I never had a good order! lol, started with 72 Amc 6...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    the pole is fine and the motor to dish bracket are very tight, I dont think too tight on the motor to dish bracket would cause it to not move all the way. What it is doing now is when i move to say 72 to 95 it is doing fine and back to 72, but when i go say from 72 to 113 it doesnt go all the...

    this motor is driving me nuts!

    I know I have asked alot of questions but I am having this issue! Today I come home and moved the dish over to 91, well I thought 91*. I scanned and noticed I was getting CCTV and was like what the? Somehow my motor moved like 3.5 degrees! I dont know how! weirdest thing I have ever seen...

    Newsfeeds on the 1.2m. Not what they used to be.

    Well I am locked in with my 1.2 meter dish and I am getting 70-78 quality on all sats from 72 to 125 with some up to 83-85 quality on my micro hd. I have to say I pull in tons of news feeds, more at certain times of the day. Heck my entire channel list right now in just a...

    RTV on 83W missing??

    btw a primestar should pull it in at least at 50 pct quality depending on what type of receiver you have. I hit it at 70 plus with a primestar and a pansat 2700.

    RTV on 83W missing??

    Yep, Micro hd scanning them in at 71 pct for me, That channel or group of channels gets flaky at times, sometimes it flickers from 50 to 60 and then at times it is at a steady 71 pct for me.

    trying to find what satellite this is?

    yes that is the 89* satellite Galaxy 28. Should be a hearst feed and alot of abc news feeds on there also as well as a channel called BYU that has a voice over ever 5 second saying "Spanish".

    AMC 15ku Echo Test Card

    Good luck, that is a nice sat to hit though because even though there are not a ton of news feeds on there i find quite a bit of sports.

    How to know if a feed is 4:2:0 or mpeg 4?

    ok thanks. I notice sometimes it will say s2 and then times it will show 1080 or 720 and just say dvb s. So I am thinking maybe those are the 4:2:0 feeds.

    My kid would be in some major trouble.

    Yeah i wish they were my neighbors because I got a guy offering me a house mounted polar mount without the dish just the mount and the actuator and all I need is the dish itself! I would mount that thing on my garage outside my window and be scanning the skies for some c band!

    AMC 15ku Echo Test Card

    Also most of the feeds I scan in on that satellite are around the same quality, so if you want to get some feeds on there you need to be hitting that frequency well as I also noticed before it is a wide frequency meaning I have actually been at positions before where i got Amc 1 and that bird...

    AMC 15ku Echo Test Card

    on my 1.2 meter and geosatpro micro hd I hit the card at 71 pct. Back when i used a primestar dish I generally hit it well so I would think you shouldnt have too much a problem, depends on your receiver too, I was getting it with a pansat and primestar before.

    How to know if a feed is 4:2:0 or mpeg 4?

    Ok I have a microhd and I can tell when a channel is dvb s2 as it tells me on the info on the feed or channel I am viewing. However I notice some channels show up 720 and 1080 on the info but are dvb s and not s2. Is there a way you can tell if you have a mpeg 4 feed or a 4:2:0 feed...

    Funny things folks have said about your FTA system

    Yeah I have always heard stuff like "what are you doing with that thing" or "are you doing work for some sort of spy". lol That was just with a 4 footer. I had a 7.5 put up once and the neighbors all thought that just by having a big dish you could hack channels from all over the world...

    Noticing channels missing possibly due to the Solar Issue

    Weird. I went out and moved the dish up a hair and boom hitting it better than before!! I have no idea how my dish moved down! But it did! I tightened everything almost to the max, didnt want to overtighten anything, but I am still having a slight problem with the slack in the motor, I...

    Noticing channels missing possibly due to the Solar Issue

    I am now not getting the nbc mux on 72, Amc 6. I am getting the spanish channel on there at 65 pct which usually is 70-71 pct, and the mux is gone. I also am not getting the lpb on 87 channels. Anyone else noticing the mux being gone?

    87W LPBs channels Problems?

    yeah the LPB channels are down I guess do to the Solar problem. I am hitting the sat as strong as ever and dont get them now. Just started today. I have never had trouble out of them.
