Titanium Satellite New to C-band Micro bud suggestions
Hi
I have been using a 36 inch ku band dish now for a year now and its been great. Its ponted at 87 west. along with my OTA antennas Im getting about 30 channels and very happy with this. I use tvheadend and kodi for viewing.
Reccently I have lost the Univision KTEL signal and by reading some of the post its not comming back. Therefore Im scambling to bring back some spanish tv in my houseshold.
Looking at Lynsat all the good spanish channels are on C-band
I would like to start small with modest equipement to see if it works.
here is my equipement list :
> 1.2 meter dish roof mount
> titanium C band lnb double output with scaller.
> cable I will use dual rg6
> rg6 connectors
> Tbs 6902 (tv capture card)
> no motor for now.
here are the channels I would like to have (Im not sure which ones are easy to get using a 1.2 meter dish)
118.8 w Anik F3 univision (3) DVB-S SD
> clear channels as per Lynsat.
> 91.0 W Galaxy 17 DVB-S univision clear as per lynsat
> 99.0 w Galaxy 16 SD DVB-STV3 /Bajio tv.
> clear as per Lynsat.
Latitude: 45.5 Longitude: -73.583333 (Montreal)
Before I start on this c-band adventure I would like to have a idea a) if this has any chance of working b) which channels are a better choice than others (weaker vs stronger) C) can this equipent list be improved while keeping the cost down.
I already aware that rain and snow my affect my viewing needs.
Any suggestion are welcomed and thanks in advance.

My mini-bud is an 8-footer... even that's too small much of the interesting "stuff". It might be big enough to pick up one or two of the channels mentioned in the opening post, but not with a lot of headroom signal-wise. Pic below is my mini-bud. To the lower left you can see the 1.2m channel master Ku dish for 103w.

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.

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....

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.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
