    DiscEqc Question

    Bad cable...you'd almost think so, but if it was, I would think I would have some signal degredation between the satellites which I don't. (may not take much loss to affect the switch though I assume. I'll check the attenuation and see how we make out. Appreciate your patience.

    DiscEqc Question

    Thanks JerryT....hmmm intersting point you bring forth. Both seitches I have tried are the same mfgr. The lNB's are Fortec Star (FSKVU's). Maybe a different mfgr's switch worth a try. Thanks again for the note.

    Where Are Canadian Newsfeeds???

    Maybe I should clarify specifically what I am looking for. I am looking for the raw satellite newsfeeds and backhauls from the Canadian networks not a free commercial network news station such as ABC News or CNN. I can get CBS feeds on IA6 and AMC-9 for NBC. Any info re the subject as originally...

    Which is best for newsfeeds AMC9 or SBS6?

    Hey guys, thanks loads for all the help and input. Just came in from outside (30 deg F out there) and am now watching the NBC News AMC-8 2F test pattern.

    Which is best for newsfeeds AMC9 or SBS6?

    Thanks for the info Peter. Checking the lyngsat site I don't see any lising of a continuous broadcast on AMC 9. Are you aware of such a signal that I could use to "hone in" on the bird? Thanks again for this and all your other help over the past couple of weeks when I first got set up.
