The 36" round dish should give you better performance, but only by a slight amount. Assuming the efficiency factor of both dishes is the same the 36" dish has about 7% more area than the Primestar. So your 40x30 dish is approximately the equivalent of a 34.5 inch round dish.

Let me try this again. The RSCC channels on the lyngsat website are C-band. A 31 inch dish won't pick them up. The KU band FTA channels, Napoli Nova, Mediteraneo Sat 2 and Mediteraneo Sat 1 are not available in North America from that satellite. You need to refer to the footprint of a particular...

The Ku FTA channels on that satellite are not receivable in the U.S. The Ku signals are on transponder 12. They basically cover only northern Africa and southern Europe. To view the footprints of the various transponders of this satellite see http://www.rscc.ru/en/satellite/zones/zone09.html...

Have you checked your connections to make sure they are clean and dry? It might be worth checking just to make sure there's no corrosion or that moisture hasn't creeped into them.

To be fair to Gary (the show's host), he has covered topics such as domestic violence, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, the Iraq war, etc. Most importantly he was the first person who I every heard mention FTA satellite. I watched "Confessions Live!" OTA on KWBM. At the time he asked...

Of course White Springs TV would love for you to mention to advertisers that you saw their ad on White Springs. The more response they get, the better revenue and that means they can afford to keep the channel FTA. A lot of the "only 19.95" ads are run at little or no charge to the...

The former G10R Mas Musica channel now has a ID slide for K39BZ, Lake City, Jacksonville. It also has the univision logo. I knew there was a reason why I shouldn't have skipped spanish class. Think of all of the extra TV I could be watching! Also the former WBMM channel had a Univision ID slide...

Generally the signal is received by the station directly from the helicopter.

Could someone post some of the feeds for G10R or IA7 (if any). I can only access those satellites and my reciever does not blind scan. Thanks! I could only find one on G10R by using old lyngsat info: "Channel 11" 12107V, SR3400, Video PID 4130, Audio PID 4131.

Finding a satellite can be daunting, Ghost signals can be quite haunting, Getting a signal lock is so sweet, Like getting candy when you trick or treat. Should I win a prize this time, I promise never again to enter with rhyme.

Ford - Are you saying you haven't updated the entry for FTA in the HHGTTG? Don't Panic! "Mostly Harmless" will suffice. It's worth spending some time reading the guides and posts on FTA in this forum. The information here is just what you need to make equipment decisions. The easiest way is...

Not really. The satellite doesn't convert internet traffic into an A/V signal. You could use high speed internet to send your video to an uplink facility. They would take your programming and uplink it to a satellite and that could be received FTA if desired. There is the expense of satellite...

Sorry I don't have a picture handy to post, but the switch I use looks a bit like the picture you posted on the right except the body of the box is larger. A 4x1 switch is what I use. It lets me have 4 lnbs running to my receiver. There are 5 coax connections on the switch, one for the cable...

I don't believe cutting up a primestar dish (how cruel) would help. The curvature of the pieces will be wrong for their new position. There is a freeware parabola calculator program available online. It lets you calculate and view a cross-section and focal distance of a dish. It might be...

Okay, I'll confess. I already tried car wax on my dish this summer. My primestar dish was used, slightly stained from storage and the surface looked a little bleached out in places. I had just finished waxing the car and the wax said it was also good on fiberglass surfaces. I used turtle paste...

Independent FTA I don't believe there are any laws that would prevent anyone from launching an FTA channel, video or audio. After all, Ted Turner put his WTBS up on satellite years ago and look what it grew into. Now it's scrambled...so much for appreciation. The biggest problem would be...

The channel numbers on my receiver don't match the official DishNetwork numbers. I just printed out the Lyngsat list for the satellite as a reference as I edited channel names. All I had to do was check the channel info and compare it to the chart for the correct name/type of music. It didn't...

For FTA channels you'll need an FTA receiver. The DirecTV receiver is useless for FTA. An FTA receiver can pick up the Free To Air channels on various satellites. You will need a 30" dish or so for most of the channels. You can find FTA receivers at many of the advertisers at the top of the page...

If I'm understanding your question, I think you could use a signal combiner, such as a channel 3 or channel 4 combiner. For instance, if the VCR you want to see through your system can output on channel 4, you could combine that ch 4 signal with your ota antenna. The combiner has filters to...

Any chance you are under or near a microwave path? I honestly don't know if this applies to Ku band reception: I do remember that back when the FCC actually licensed satellite dishes used for reception that a microwave path that went through the view of the satellite would prevent proper...

KWBM's city of license is Harrison, AR. It is considered to be a part of the Springfield, Missouri market. (It's also included as a "local" if you have Springfield locals on the pay satellite services.)

Watch the Shipping Costs! Since you're shopping online be aware of the shipping costs from various sources. I found that some lower the price on the dish and make up the difference (and more) on shipping and "handling". You'll really notice this on ebay auctions. When you consider the shipping...

I'm not getting any sound on KDEV either. Something may have changed, but I haven't seen any other references about it.

I originally set up a primestar for g10r after reading about how to do it on this site. Since then I've added another LNB strapped next to the primestar lnb to pick up White Springs on IA7. I use an old 18" dish and lnb for Nasa and audio. If there was more to view on other satellites I might...

If you can find an old primestar with the lnb all you'll need to add is some cable and a receiver for a single satellite. An 18" dish and lnb can be used to pick up NASA and some audio channels.
