    Edision SES-2 87.1W reception

    11961 (or 11960 according to Lyngsat) is the Newsource transponder feeds with seven channels. 11780 is data only and, according to my AZBox, is DVB-S/QPSK.

    Edision SES-2 87.1W reception

    Getting both here in southwestern Ontario, using a 75e dish (Shaw Direct xKu Quad LNB). If you are having trouble locking the satellite, I'd suggest using 11961 H 29997 or 11780 V 4999 (data) to point with as they are two of the strongest TPs I get.

    OTHER Difficulty locking onto FTA signals on Galaxy-31 with small dish

    Galaxy 31 is a C-band only satellite, so there are no Ku band signals to be found at the 121w location now, hence why you are not finding anything there.

    OTHER Seeking Guidance on Free-to-Air Satellite Receivers and Encrypted Channels

    Just to clarify, Conditional Access Smartcards can be used legally in Europe (purchased from the provider), but also can/has been used for hacking. Biss Auto roll, as far as I am aware is only for hacking. Since most receivers are for the European market, rather than North America, some...

    OTHER Connecting 2 diseqc 1.1 8x1 switches

    Yes, receiver to 4x1, then put an 8x1 on port 1, and an 8x1 on port 2 (etc.). Most receivers should handle it. I currently have two receivers (AZBox and Amiko) with a 4x1 and one 8x1 on port one.

    AMIKO Upgrading suggestions for the Amiko mini 4K UHD receiver

    It is no big deal for me to re-initialize the time when needed, as I don't do recordings with a timer. Plus, you and I also know what happened the last time I did an upgrade of software, and I'm not going through that again! LOL!

    AMIKO Upgrading suggestions for the Amiko mini 4K UHD receiver

    My Amiko Mini HD265 also has to be re-set every few days as it also begins to lose time. I think the problem is that it never re-connects to the time server after it is initialized, so begins to lose time until you re-set it. My AZBox Ultra connects to the time server when it is first turned on...

    OTHER Cannot Find Galaxy 19 FTA 97 West :(

    Largest number I can find is from 2009 (from my old Pansat 3500SD), 259 TV channels and 339 radio channels!

    OTHER Cannot Find Galaxy 19 FTA 97 West :(

    100 is the correct number of television channels on 97W. They have been steadily decreasing over the past months/years. EDIT: Just checked my notes, and there were 111 television channels at the beginning of August 2022.

    AMIKO Issue with renaming channels on the Amiko mini 4K

    Just tried it on my Amiko Mini HD265, and it does the same thing. Though it is a pain, here is a workaround: To get "Ch-1", enter the "-" then "1", which will display as "1_-". Then hit OK (which will take you back to rename) press enter to go back to the rename function, which will show as "1-"...

    AMIKO Looking for time setting

    I just tried several transponders on different satellites, and got different times just about every time, as it automatically re-set the time after being on the transponder for a bit. So short answer, it is not going to work. The best method is to use NTP, if you have it connected to the...

    OTHER Dish Aiming Help

    Yes, there are a few satellites (mainly Spanish channels) that I have (or in one case, did have). Couple of channels (Spanish) on 30W. A whole slew of Spanish channels, plus a few French, and one English (Arirang) on 34.5W, and one I use to get (would need a larger dish than I have available)...

    OTHER Dish Aiming Help

    Both 11760 and 11880 are still there. To answer PetaVolt's question, yes, sometimes a slight shift in the dish (left/right or up/down, or even a slight skew adjustment of the LNB) is necessary to bring in certain transponders on the same satellite. 12145 is DVB-S, which means it is an easier...

    AMIKO Amiko HD265 Blind Scanning the band or only known transponders ?

    It is scanning the entire band looking for transponders.

    AMIKO Amiko HD 265 mini Have few channels with sound but no images.

    What are the frequencies, symbol rates, etc. that you are getting channels on, and what are the names that scan in. What is the name of the channel that you do get video/audio. Doesn't sound like you are on 97w (99w, maybe?).

    Edision Ventilation Idea For Edision and Other Receivers

    I do the same. either with self-adhesive feet, or strips of wood. Anything to boost the height. After all, why have vents on the bottom of receivers only to have low feet that don't allow a lot of ventilation. It is especially important if you have it stacked on top of another piece of...

    OTHER GTMedia V7 S2X, Universal Quad LNBF, HughesNet dish setup

    Galaxy 3C at 95W is only 2 degrees away from Galaxy 19 at 97W (not 75w as you have above). You need to move your dish slightly and slowly to the west until it comes in. A handy method is to mark the pole where you are now (at 95W) so if you go too far or too fast and go by 97W, you can restart...

    AMIKO New to Ku Band

    Your LNB is more than likely fine. As I said above, your Amiko receiver, which I also have, will always show 0 and 6 until you actually point directly at the active transponder. You will not see any movement of those levels until the receiver gets some signal from the transponder. Other...

    AMIKO New to Ku Band

    Amiko Mini H265 always have a Signal Level of 0 and a Signal Quality of 6 when there is no signal available for the transponder you are attempting to receive (whether you are pointed at the satellite or not). In addition to what KE4EST says above, after doing some adjustments, do a blind scan...

    AMIKO Mini HD 265 - Streaming?

    Basically, you make a file named "webtv list.m3u" with the following structure: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1, The Channel Name http://(channel location data) Continue to add channels in the same manner (lines 2 and 3, Line 1 is only at the beginning of the file). Notepad works well, just be sure to make...

    I agree with a33, collar needs to be flipped, and the top hole (that is at the bottom now) used.
