GEOSATpro  Geosat pro 1200

Need help in getting cozi tv on Amc-1 KU band. I cannot lock onto it. I can get Dod on SES1 @ 101 - this is a very strong bird. As I move the dish away to get Amc1..it just doesn't find it. I'm using a CM 1007 IFD to peak the signal. I have the same issue with trying to lock onto Eutelsat 113...Anik F2 at 111 is very strong. Is Reuters really available on 113? I have been trying to get these bird with the Geosat 90cm offset dish. On AMC 21, I get the Claro TV transponders but NONE of the PBS....what am I doing wrong? Or these channels are no longer on these sats? Trying all KU no C-band yet. Thanks...

What LNBF are you using? Is it skewed?

Cozi on 103w KU is not easy to lock on depending on where you are located, and if you are using a dish smaller than 1.2 meter. This is also a sat where you must skew your lnb 22 degrees off normal to get Cozi due to the way the sat was setup originally. Most of us have a dedicated dish peaked special JUST for 103w ku band.

Those are my three weakest signals also. Eutelsat 113's foot print excludes Canada and I am near the border just outside the footprint. PBS mux has always been a challenge for folks. I use a 10' C-Band dish for Ku and I have a dedicated 1m for 103W Ku because of the skew issue.

I'm In NE PA. I have tried the GeoSatPro 90cm with the pll lnb. Also tried with Starband dish using the stock lnb on H only and then on V only (notch filter removed and verified to pull H or V transponders on G19). I once got the Huntington Beach cams by setting up the pll lnb on a tripod and placing it to the right of the lnb on a Wineguard 1M offset with bore set to G19. If I can get the Huntington cams is that the right skew to get Cozi TV?
So far, with a Starband dish, I can set it for G3C @95 on the bore and place a pll lnb to the right and get Dod on 101. I can repurpose the Starband dish for that and use the Geosat 90cm for G19. Do I need to use the 1M for 103?
What about Reuters on 113..anyone getting that?
I was also able to get the Lyngsat listings for Telstar 12 @ 15W..TVG, TPA, Inter Satelial, but NO MSNBC using the Geosat Pro 90cm.

You can get the beach cams whether you have the skew right or not. It's only the three NBC feed transponders that are extra-sensitive. (The polarity is actually wrong for the whole Ku side of the satellite, but the lower data rates don't care.) Some people say that the power on some of the NBC transponders went up recently, but my experience is the opposite -- I'm not getting ANY of them, including the one that used to be easy, on my motorized dish right now.

It's possible to get Reuters in this area on a 90cm dish, but your aim has to be right on. (It used to be easier, before they switched to DVB-S2.) If you're not getting an exemplary signal quality on the Dutch & Chinese transponder, you won't get Reuters, or if you do you'll lose it in light cloud cover.

I can't prove it absolutely, but I don't think the MSNBC on 15W is there anymore. I certainly haven't heard anybody talk about it for a year or more.

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
