New guy here..
Purchased an Open Box S10 but I cannot find anywhere to download
firmware to allow me to capture US feeds.
Entered one in manually but this was a pain and I really don't know
what I am doing.
I seems the downloads are not working.
Can anyone help.

Depending on your tastes C band will likely yield you more channels. Minimum recommended size is usually 8ft but bigger is better if you can get it. You can set up both KU and C band dishes with a diseqc switch.

FORTEC STAR 120cm 1.2m KU Band Offset Dish Antenna Model FC120CM has been replaced by the new WS1247 and WS1247M. This is perfect for KU and C Band satellites. The HH120 Motor is recommened to be used with this dish!!! Local pick up only.
Would this dish be suitable, and would my existing LNB work or should I secure a different one?Depending on your tastes C band will likely yield you more channels.

Hey Titanium,
When I go to the transponder list to add a transponder it has the
first line which is the frequency beam , then it has a space for what appears to be DVB-S2 # 30000 ?
then has a line space for the V or H.
If I don't enter that second number will it still detect the signal?

I use a 90cm (36") Fortec Star dish for my motorized setup. It has worked well for several years. I have heard that the quality of some 1.2m and 1.8 solid dishes is questionable (thin metal, easy to rust) but can't comment about the specific models you mentioned as I have no experience with them. I can say that in general a 1.2m (48)" dish is highly desired for a ku setup. On the other hand, a mini-bud (the term used to describe an undersized c band dish) will likely be disappointing if you are expecting to get all the channels that are in the clear on c band. Not saying don't try it, especially if you can get one for free/cheap, but if I was paying full price for a dish I'd go with the minimum recommended (or bigger
) to maximize my investment.

I'm not Titanium, but I can tell you that yes, that number is needed, and you would not lock on a signal without it
It's called Symbol rate, and basically it represents the amount of data per second that is being transmitted. Note that it can be off by a few digits, so don't worry if you receiver detects 29999 and Lyngsat says 30000, it's all good. Likewise, the frequency can differ by a few MHz.
about the Fortec Star 120cm, I don't have experience but I will tell you that a seller who advertises a 120cm dish as "perfect for C-Band" is not someone I would trust. This said there are some parts of the world that have some stronger C-Band service so in that context it might be true, but in that specific context only (Venesat in South America, some Russian satellites in Europe).

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.
Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.
It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.
This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.

Yeah, there are some diginets like Heartland, Retro, The Family Channel diginetworks that we already have here in this market and we don't need duplicates, but bring the new diginets on like the Rev'n, Karate Acton movies, different kind of music videos on the new station.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

However, when I make a change (tried to add the Columbian pack for $2 so I could generate my bill) and there is a new line - it says "Access for TV" - whereas previously that line item was not there. I hope they aren't charging $5.00 for the initial TV now...
Possibly. In theory, $9 of the base pack has a rental fee built in. But now is this $5 a chance to get a little more? I don't know for sure. According to chat, it is a glitch and will be resolved in a timely manner, but we shall see. Part of my thinks there is a going to be a new charge, whether it is now or this fall. Here in Illinois, the law requires we are given 30 days notice of any fee changes, but I have not been given anything.

Hello again, haven't posted here in a while.
This morning, around 6:30am, I woke up and found the front panel lights on my HR44 on (I leave it off all the time as it is co-located with one of my Geminis).
Immediately thinking that either a reboot or power outage occurred, I checked the software version, and found that it's still the same release that was sent out last month.
I then ruled out a power outage by checking the clocks on my appliances and seeing that they're still correct (they reset when there's an outage, somewhat similar to the "blinking 12" on VCRs).
I then confirmed a reboot by checking the Upcoming Recordings (fka To-Do List) and seeing that the number was much lower than before (it always resets after a reboot).
I am definitely guessing what happened (and it may very well be actually what happened) is that the "Reset Required" prompt may have come up sometime overnight, and it eventually timed out and rebooted automatically. IIRC that prompt comes up when new software "plugins" have to be installed.
Would like to hear your thoughts, especially since I probably haven't talked to some of you reading this in a while (was a former CE member, left almost a year ago).
Thank you all in advance!

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....

Our DNS provider is encouraging us to enable DNSSEC on our domains for added security.
I have gone ahead and enabled it, and am told it may take anywhere from 90 minutes to 24 hours for it to take effect.
Hopefully doing this does not harm the site in any way. (It shouldn't) but if it does, you will then know why and I will revert the settings.
But from what I am reading it should be ok. so just giving a warning as I have screwed up DNS stuff in the past.
