Always remember the foul demons who killed TechTV and replaced it with this crap channel - Comcast. I've been boycotting Comcast's evil empire ever since.

This forum sure does bring out the crazies from time to time... never seen anything quite like it.

32APSK signals need a 12ft dish or even bigger. You can't even lock them with a 10ft. A 8ft dish won't cut it for all the DVB-S2 signals that pop up either if you want completely error-free reception. Also, there are no more worthwhile "residential uses" for C-band. We all want C-band dishes...

lol, I don't even know how to tune in to an analog signal. C-SPAN's encryption is rather silly though as all their programs are available for free in HD on their website.

These two channels are also due to be encrypted soon. Enjoy it while it lasts.

All I've been able to find are these Digiwave 240cm dishes on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digiwave-240cm-Prime-Focus-Dish-DigiMonster-satellite-antenna-fta-tv-receiver-/121096958529?pt=US_Antennas_Dishes&hash=item1c31f0f241 They don't look very good... Sadoun only sells wimpy little 6 ft...

Yes please! If it improves signal even half as good as the jump from the old Geosatpro "bullet" KU LNBF I had and the new Geosatpro PLL KU LNBF I'd pay $100. Right now I have a BSC621 and it's not the greatest LNB around. I had been considering a PLL C band LNB but all the current ones are so...

Reelz is a pay TV channel though. Lots of people do pay for it. It is left unencrypted by some fluke. I doubt it's intended to be a "free" channel.

Free is not an excuse for mediocrity.

Are you and I watching the same Reelz? Because I was not impressed by the 720p 6 Mbps H.264 video of that channel. It looks terrible; worse than most cable networks. I can't imagine how awful it must look after being re-encoded to MPEG-2 on the cable providers. The Pentagon Channel also looks...

Don't buy from Rick. He is destroying this hobby. Why not just get a DMX741 from Leomall? I see many listed on eBay.

Hah, what? Old people crap? I'm 22 and I would love to have this 10' antenna. It's unfortunate that I am nowhere near the Orlando area or I'd take it off your hands. I would think with all this cord cutting hype going on among the latest generation there would be other youth who are...

I know.

It looks like this:

How is recording horribly molested versions of the Bond movies "fun" when the entire line has been released on Blu-ray? A 4:3 standard definition version of Syfy isn't even worth a penny.

As much as I hate pizza the Programming Center is doing a pretty pathetic job of keeping C Band alive. It's not really their fault either; it's the greedy networks and the technical incompetence of the public. The poor selection of channels and the fact that the 4DTV feeds aren't offered in...

You can be your own provider if you want to pay tens of thousands of dollars.

I have a C Band LNBF on a Geosatpro 1.2m; I can get the following HD channels: NHK World HD @ 58W Reelz HD @ 91W CW Plus @ 91W Wildfeeds @ 99W Tele-Quebec @ 107W Lots of miscellaneous stuff on those sats too that aren't necessarily HD, like the Virgin Islands networks and a big music mux. I'd...

Haha, so he didn't scrap it! $100 is a great price for a C Band dish. I haven't had much luck finding free ones in my region. If I lived near you I'd jump on that. Someone should pick this up because there's a looming threat of it being scrapped in the first thread he made.

The best C Band HD channel, and also one you can get on a MiniBUD, is NHK World HD :) Even in the weaker part of Intelsat 9's footprint, the northern US! I can get the channel with 25% signal on a 4 footer, which is plenty because the channel has the highest amount of error correction possible -...

Waaaait a minute. Are you telling me you actually care what other people think about you? Especially on the road, when you will never see them again? One of the first things I learned about this hobby is this is one of those things where it is important to disrespect the opinions of others. It...

Then why can NHK World do it? For a network as prestigious as the BBC you would think they would be able to find enough providers across Europe and Asia who would be willing to carry a HD feed. Not America of course, as we all know there's a conspiracy here to keep foreign media out of the...

The BBC World News is actually produced completely in HD and then outputted to 16:9 SD for global distribution which is pretty pathetic for an organization as large as the BBC is. Last year, we were all surprised to see a native HD feed of BBC World News on this satellite. Then it went away...

I think it's still there but it's encrypted now which is utterly ridiculous as there is not a single provider who carries BBC World News in HD. They could at least leave it in the clear until they get somebody to agree to carry it. Spending thousands of dollars renting transponder space for an...
