After having my 8' C-Band stationary dish aimed at SES-2 now for the past several years, I decided to re-aim the dish yesterday to Galaxy 19 after reading a post from Chris_R about a new channel that I wanted to receive. The dish has a secondary feed that was receiving Galaxy 3C.
Old Setup: SES-2 (Main), Galaxy 3C (Secondary)
New Setup: SES-2 (Secondary), Galaxy 19 (Main), AMC 18 (Secondary)
After spending the majority of the time cleaning out soil that collected within the sit-n-spin mount during the past several years and loosening the rusted bolts, I moved the dish approx. 10 degrees to receive Galaxy 19.
Oddly enough, once I performed a scan I'm receiving the vertical transponders from Galaxy 19 and the horizontal transponders from Galaxy 16. In a way this is kind of nice and I don't really know if I want to correct the problem since I'm receiving AMG-TV and other channels with a high signal strength from Galaxy 19 AND all the Lesea channels and MeTV, Movies! and FOX 5 Ozarks from Galaxy 16 and FOX 5 from the Ozarks looks fantastic in HD on a larger dish. However, I don't receive the channel Chris_R discovered, since it is horizontal on Galaxy 19.
Anyway, on the secondary feed I'm receiving the following transponders with only 1 channel (ABC) scanning in. I thought perhaps it was AMC 1, but now I'm unsure.
4087 V 19999
3982 V 26659
3916 V 4999
3826 V 21499
3770 V 10369
3742 V 29999
4141 H 29999
3881 H 32999
3761 H 6336
3706 H 2785 SVC_2 Service (KETV 7 ABC)

Update: Today, I'm receiving the new channel that Chris_R posted about as well as the others on that transponder with a 87% signal. Yesterday, these channels were scrambled. I hope they last!
Since I'm receiving all the channels from Galaxy 19 that I wanted to receive as well as the many channels from Galaxy 16, I'm not going to re-adjust the dish.
Many good channels from these two satellites and every transponder is being received with a signal above 80%.
Today, I'm going to adjust the secondary feed to AMC-18 and then add an additional secondary feed on the other side to receive SES-2.

This was the problem.
I had the wrong Diseqc input selected which is attached to my 4' KU dish.

Are you talking about buzzr or grit or another channel in that MUX? They show up as scrambled for me but have been unscrambled since they were here.
The only feeds I see regularly scrambled are linked to CBS or ABC during the football season on horizontal.

Mexico takes on South Africa to open the World Cup Final (it is called the Final... this just isn't the World Cup Final... Final). The tournament has been plagued with rife malfeasance as FIFA has been committing all sorts of fraud with the ticket sales. Hotel rooms have gone unfilled as the prices to attend a game and stay somewhere are through the roof. I swear this is impacting Mansfield, OH hotel rates which are higher than average for the Indycar race. And there is a broadening VAR presence which will ruin things as nothing worse now when scoring a goal and knowing you can't quite celebrate yet as they check to see if a player was offside by a pixel a half-hour ago.
The Group Stage used to mean something, but now 32 of the 48... yeah, 48 teams are going to the Knockout Round. Getting into the Knockout Round used to be a big deal, even for the US. But now... if you don't lose all of your group stage games, you get to move on. Oi! And this is avoiding all the political stuff!
I have never been so unexcited for a World Cup before. Every game used to matter. But FIFA be darned if they don't try to squeeze out every dime they can out of the players, refs, and fans.

Last weekend I got in on a MLB game top of the 8th 1-1, first thought was extra innings... 
and it actually went extra after the 9th.
Catching a little of the AUSL, something to watch when I can't get into anything else.

So...DirecTV advertises the Choice package with 95+ bonus channels for Satellite customers. You don't want 90+ of the 95...
Excluding PPV, premium networks, infomercial, shopping, religion, and non-English programming, there are 7 channels on satellite that are not on streaming:
NFL Network, MavTV, FE TV, Free Speech, NASA, INSP, and Pursuit. I'm pretty sure a couple of those are public interest that they have to carry to meet an FCC quota on satellite.
I hope they get called out for this advertising because that is ridiculous. One big network, NFL, will probably get added to streaming when their next agreement comes up, and the rest are likely very low viewership.
What about streaming, what do you get extra with the Choice package that isn't on Satellite:
Two stations - one of which is an internet TV - Fox Weather, and Heros & Icons (a diginet). Nothing special here to look at either.
If they cleaned up a couple of their agreements, added a few public interest stations to streaming, they could probably have their lineups match. It's close now, if you take out all the garbage on satellite that they earn money on. If they can sell infomercials on satellite, why can't they on streaming, seems like a miss. A bigger miss, including those stations in the "bonus channels just for satellite customers." Pretty sad marketing right there.
Attached is a comparison sheet of satellite vs streaming for the three main packages if anyone is interested.
MOD EDIT: See Post #3 for an up to date list of what channels are available on sat but not on streaming/internet, see Post #21 for an up to date list of what's available in the app for streaming customers, but not for sat customers.

Cutting Edge
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....

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks
