In February 1979, I happened to be working in Winnipeg, Manitoba when a total eclipse passed by. Talk about being lucky. I borrowed the portable TV from my motel room and hooked it up in the radio site where I was working to monitor coverage. I was in a remote area so absolutely no other people...

Just a few days ago, I received this satellite well on a 1-metre offset dish here on the lower west coast of Canada. I receive it at just below its minimum C/N lock level of 5.5 dB. But in late afternoon and at night reception is visually perfect and reliable. With its assortment of unencrypted...

The Skybox and Openbox were either the same receiver with different names or they were slightly different models maybe according to market sold in. I have the Openbox S9. It is the only receiver that made the cut when I moved. I keep it as backup in case my Edision fails. It will still receive...

Ok. Sounds like he may also need a new receiver to watch the channels he receives.

FYI, a state-of-the-art brand new satellite receiver for $95. Why mess around? https://hypermegasat.com/all-products/ols/products/amiko-mini-4k-uhd-s2x-fta-receiver https://www.ebay.com/itm/174649263310

One less reason to ever get a C-band dish now: I managed today to pull in all 7 Weigel channels OTA from KVOS in Bellingham, WA. It's 77 miles to the transmitter site yet reception is perfect. My OTA antenna is just 5 feet above ground which is the best location for reception. A lot simpler than...

Just to get the obvious out of the way...not due to seasonal sun outages October 6 to 11?

Your words of caution are wise. I think last year when I first saw it, I simply thought it would be impossible to remove without an unacceptable cost since I don't personally know anybody with a bucket truck. Since then, I have chatted up my local cable man (with access to a bucket truck) while...

Being a Ku type, they all look big to me. I would guess 10 feet? He might even pay me to remove all sight of it. But it's beyond my personal removal; I'd need a contractor. I stayed at the hotel last year and I think they had conventional cable TV in the room.

About 1 1/2 years ago I discovered a local Philips C-band dish at a nearby hotel. This hotel is only about 20 miles from my home. At the time, the cables were disconnected from the hotel so I knew it wasn't being used. Now, it looks like the cables are connected and therefore it may be in use...

I meant to put this post in the Craigslist dishes for sale. You can move if you want to. Sent from my SM-G990W using Tapatalk

They'll pay you to take this C-band dish away! It looks in good condition. Located Victoria, BC. C-band Dish for $0

Lyngsat shows Galaxy 37/Horizons 4 at 148.0W with no transponders. I guess the satellite is on the move to 127W.

There's more of value on Ku than I can often find on regular TV on a given night. But allowing varied opinions is freedom we enjoy. We just don't have to believe them all.

Further to my note above, I see from our past communication the following record regarding C-band reception from the far eastern sats: 22.0W: TV Cidade (3 channels) 3.0W: 5 TV channels including TV Verdes Campos, TV Almg, TV Alerj, RBCTV, IMPD BH

Fun reading about your further adventures of searching for eastern sats. In Halifax, NS with my 4-foot motorized dish with C-band LNBF installed, in Dec. 2020 I logged TV Ciadade Fortaleza on 4015 L 5984 on 22W. Despite having sky visibility to as far east as 3W, I never received anything from...

I used to watch FNX on the PBS mux on 125W Ku when I could receive that satellite. Lyngsat still shows it as being there.

My first receiver was a Sonicview SV-360 Elite. It was good for its time. I believe yours is only DVB-S compatible. It doesn't support DVB-S2. I see you have a 10-foot dish, so it would be good to orient your dish to SES 1 at 101W and use your receiver to reminisce. You can spend $100 to $200...

On AMC 11 (131W), he's talking about 3780 H 30000. This tp only has Weather Channel and FNX as open. Lyngsat lists FNX with PIDs 2701/2740.

Probably FNX channel. Probably typos on Lyngsat. Or tp was updated and nobody let Lyngsat know. You could. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

DW Arabic, English and Spanish are available free via streaming. Interestingly, both DW Deutsch and DW Deutsch+ are geo-blocked so they're not available online. Lyngsat doesn't show DW Deutsch on C-band. Portal BSD doesn't show DW Deutsch on 55.5W.

Adding PIDs is awkward for many receivers. I think I would have to use an external database editor to do it on my Edision. Anyway, I can't receive as far west as 131W. I assume people could just blind scan if there's something to receive there? What do you get?

Conditions change daily when using a small dish for C-band. FWIW, I also can no longer receive the 119W C transponders. I used to receive them all except the CTV mux. If you adjust your scalar and try different combinations of LNBF/scalar positions, you may get different results. Don't forget...
