    PBS on the chopping block!

    I think PBS does have great educational programming for kids and I like how it's minimal advertisement. I used to send $ in their fundraising drives until I actually visited one of their studios (here in Atlanta). It was ridiculous how much excess/elegant that building was.... (I mean...

    It's like the neighbor on Home Improvement, batman's mask, etc., etc. We must never know the true answer so it remains a mystery. If the "answer" is posted elsewhere, then here is my response: That post was a pure speculation and not based on validated information.

    Why don't you make fun of his mother and threaten to kick his !@# and then tell him to meet you in an ally. We'll know the answer if you report back afterwards!! :)

    Galaxy 10r: 2 Questions

    ...much better. Thanks for the suggestions! I got many more stations and now the signal strength is in the mid 80's. I'll get a new motor and when I get that installed/tweaked it will be even more glorious.

    Galaxy 10r: 2 Questions

    I had an SG-2100 but yesterday it just quit working--period. Nothing except for the little LED indicator light was green. I tried resetting receiver and the motor, no help. I tried pressing the button for manual move--nothing. I tried controlling via the receiver--nothing. So after tweaking...

    Galaxy 10r: 2 Questions

    I guess I just used my newbie stupidity card for that one. Thanks for the training. I'm used to doing Dish Network, DirecTV, and WB installs and that doesn't matter since they are circular. If it did, I guess you would set the RPMs on the LNB. (I guess I can make fun of AL because all but 2...

    Galaxy 10r: 2 Questions

    What kind of signal strength do you get? I did a blind scan but it still only picks up the 10 channels that I mentioned above. According to the Lyngsat coverage map on Galaxy 18 (aka 10r, correct?)--I am in the >50 EIRP zone. So, as I understand, I'm about in as good as a location you can get...

    Galaxy 10r: 2 Questions

    QUESTION 1) What size dish do I need to receive 11720 V, and 11799 V transponders from the Galaxy 10r (123W) satellite? I setup my system and I get 10 channels from the blind scan: KBS World, CEA, 3CTV, 3C Community, CEA, TimeShift, Retrojams, KBZT, and 2 pay channels. (The DishPointer site...

    OK, what am I doing wrong?

    I used the USALS command to set the dish to 87W and, at least, that part seems to be working correctly (according to GAAPS calculations). I went back to the receiver and turned off the motorized dish option, checked the level (mid-80s) and quality was in the low-70s. I went back outside and...

    OK, what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to try these ideas tomorrow. When I get a signal from G28, how many channels should I see? This afternoon, I realized that one output on the LNB gives a different signal strength than the other. To me, that means the LNB is bad or... one output is linear and...

    OK, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having a few problems and I'm thinking it's something I'm just stupidly overlooking because I'm new to FTA satellite. I have installed dozens of DirectTV, DishNetwork systems on houses, boats, and marinas (for myself and buddies), but never anything with FTA. Here is my setup: -Coolsat...
