Please be very careful and verify your frequencies.
A slip of a digit and you're way out in left field.

Also, if I had a nickel for everyone who wondered if they had a bad LNB, and paid a dollar to everyone who DID, I'd be a rich reptile. - :D

LNB is ok, It was a bad RG6 cable i think, I changed it out going to LNB and now I am getting signals I have AMC4 at 80/80 and Galaxy25 80/70. Do i have to punch in frequencies every time? i want to change sats? when i go back in forth the default freq is in there?I adjusted Dish so that it is dead on those 2 sats and i figure then when reciever moves it to other sats they should be dead on also, but those are the only 2 i can get, perhaps the freq are wrong but i am taking them from list on here?

It was a bad RG6 cable

Some advice on best coaxial cable to use:

  • RG6 cable
  • 18AWG Solid Copper Center Conduction
  • Dual Shielded 60% bare Aluminum braid,
  • 100% aluminum foil shield
  • PVC jacket & Foamed Polyethylene
  • Sweep tested 3GHz.
  • Do not make any sharp bends. No bends or loops less than 20x diameter of cable.
  • Don't use too many splitters or cuts between LNBF and receiver.
  • Use a 2 or 3 blade cable stripper to strip the ends before putting connectors
  • Use the best compression connectors (PPC EX6XL are recommended)
  • Use a compression tool to install the connectors. Don't rely on cheap or inappropriate tool.

That is what I get. When i did an "auto" scan on g25, it found ~186 channels.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
