I noticed yesterday that 11720 and 11800 are having issues. I don't think its on my end. I thought it was the rain here but that has stopped and its still messed up. 11720 is breaking up every few seconds and 11800 is lower than normal in quality. When I look at my Pansats meter 11720 quality takes a dive to about 15 or so every 3 to 4 seconds. Everything else on G-18 is fine. Is anyone else experiencing anything like that?

The sad part Ice is we always rode along for the ride with all the subscription channels masters. We had the best quality at our fingertips, now quite a few won't let us have the channels anymore even if they are 4DTV compatible. They force programmers like NPS to reuplink some of the channels with poor picture quality.
Then there are others like ESPN/Disney that won't let us have there channels at all anymore. They want to force us to the use pie plates or cable for there services. I remember how happy Disney was to deal with me when they first scrambled with VC-2. They even sent me a limited edition mug set for free for subscribing. These were the days that you delt with HBO, Showtime, Disney, etc direct. There were no 3rd party packagers like NPS. Over the years I delt with all the OEM's in the begining. I was there when NPS opened there doors in 92 and been dealing with them since there humble beginings. There not that humble anymore. Boy have things changed over the years.
so true Tvropro...
these are meant for broadcasters...we're just along for the ride

RTN Better and AC3 problem Fixed on PBS
My RTN is better now I repointed a little finer and it's better.
Also I tried picking up AMC 21 and G10 and did get both signals except no Montana PBS and some RTNs were messed up by cross signals.
I pointed Satellite dish at G10 and one at AMC21 .
I Also Fixed the AC3 Problem on my Buzz for PBS Details below deals with that issue that a lot of people have had.
_______________________________________
I posted about this several months back and never did find a reason why the Buzz would only get Ac3 on Ch 513
(Equip: Buzz 2010F Plus - 2 Fortec .04 lnbs on a Fortec 90cm dish and a Directway dish)
I tried everything I thought but nothing worked. When I blind scanned it never showed any of the PBS channels. I manually put them in.
Anyway I thought I'd try again when they moved to AMC 21. Same thing. I read in several post about putting a check in the box for AC# audio. The Buzz had no such box on the input template for transponder.
The channel list in the Buzz had no info for PBS stuff from the factory like the other satellite transponder list.
I down loaded the new Channel Master Program and managed to upload my list to it by using the Viewsat receiver as the type (the SonicView receiver choice kept failing.)
I managed to get it loaded and sure enough there was no AC3 on these TP channels. I checked the" AC3 audio option and put in the audio pid and chose Eng as the language. I did this on all of them.
Then Exported as a Buzz receiver type bin name.
Then I used an older version of CM that would download to the buzz properly and did a save.
I HAVE AC3 on All of my PBS Now !
after the download I did had to reassign my diseq to each dish I
have as they reset to off.
The old CM loader had no option for AC3 but the new one does.
There may be several other types of receivers that have the same problem so this may get you working for AC3.

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....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
