Hi there,

I need HELP. I have a directv box that subscribe to International channel (Galaxy 3C - 95 degree west) and 101, we are trying to install the dish but we can only get 101 we can not get 95 degree. My question is how can we get the 95 degree, what dish and LNB do I need to buy. Also what type of switch do I need to combine this two LNB.

Here is the description of directv

DirecTV International Satellite Dish

The DirecTV International Satellite Dish is specialized for the reception of international and local market programming from DirecTV satellites at 95 degrees.
This dish is 87cm across, so you will need a bit more space to mount it.
This dish is normally used along with another DirecTV dish.

thank in advance...

Maybe I can help you to find out the Elevation and Azimuth for the 95W by using the H20. So, what is your zip code?

About the LNB, you should choose the frequency range in 950 ~ 1450 MHz.

About the multiswitch, it all depend how many receiver you want to use.
If 4 or less then 4, then you can use zinwell 4x4 multiswitch. Connect the 2 cables of 101W to the 18V & 13V of the switch. Then, one cable of 95W connect to 18V/22kHz of the multiswitch.
If you need more than 4 outputs, then you can use zinwell sam6802 or wb68. 2 cables of 101W connect to 18V & 13V of the switch and 1 cable connect to the flexport 1.

After that, do not forget to do the auto detect.

DIRECTV LNB for Filipino Channels on 95W

First of all, thanks for the information so far about International channels on 95W. I have just one question:

To receive the Filipino channels on 95W Galaxy 3C, is it true that I have to use a linear type LNB since, according to Lyngsat, the frequency is Horizontal?

I am using two different dishes, one (8') for DIRECTV on the 101W and another dish (6') on the 95W and connecting the two 101W coax cables to 13V and 18V on my multiswitch and only one cable from the 95W to the 18V 22KHz input on the same multiswitch.

I am receiving all the channels from the 101W that I pay for, but the 95W dish I have a DIRECTV circular LNB.

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Swap out the circular Directv LNB on your 95 dish to a standard Ku single linear pol model. You want horizontal pol.

L.O. Frequency: 9.75/10.6GHz, 9.75/10.75GHz

L.O. Phase Noise: -70 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz
-90 dBc/Hz @ 100KHz
-110 dBc/Hz @ 1MHz

L.O. Frequency Stability: ±2.5MHz @ -40?~+60?

Output Frequency Range: 950~2050MHz/950~2150MHz

Output Power: 0dB (Min.)
(at 1dB gain compression)

Output Connector: 75?

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.
