will add AnikF2 when I get home. I don't know of a good TP off the top of my head
Thanks for the List of strong transponders.
I have installed the dual bracket (4degree appart) and I get 97 and 101 to work on the strongest transponders.
However I can't get some channels to work on 101(12120-V 30000), I assume they have weak signal. How do I fine tune it without disturbing 97 lnb.? I get 0 both for strength and quality. However I get 87(quality) and 60(strength) for 11822 H 5700.
Do different Transponders on the same sattelite have different position?
I am confused. May be there is some setup I forgot to set.
Any suggestion is helpfull.
thanx

I've had a lot of experience with the 101.0W AMC-4 sat and I have locked on the 12120 TP with a 20" DishNet 500, some receivers have weak tuners and even with a 90cm perfectly aimed, I can hardly get 12120 with my Manhattan receiver but I can pop right in with my Captive Works because it has a sensative tuner.
Another thing, make sure you skew to accuracy when tuning the dish, The GloryStar instructions say to aim in the center of the sats 97.oW and 101.oW but you may consider tuning the set up with just one LNBF on 101.oW, set to TP 12120 and tune your best, then hook up to the 97.oW lnbf and see what you have.
I personally don't care much for the 12120 channel and if I can't lock onto it, I don't lose any sleep, and I could care less for the 97.oW programming. The best Networks to watch are TP's 11822 & 11983, I'm sure your customers will agree once they see for themselves.
They may just have to buy a new receiver with a stronger tuner as I did.
Good luck

Thanks for the info, I might have to change the dish to accomodate the customers. You are right 11822 & 11983 these two channels have great programmes.
Thanks a lot.

The "Captive Works 600S premium" is a good one to use, it has a good strong and sensitive tuner and user friendly, I like it because it's great for finding sats and fine tuning a motorized dish. One thing I don't like is the remote
, it's a universal type but very hard to point, you must point very low and directly at the receiver and constantly having to push the same button a few times before the command is executed.
The other one I just got is the "Fortec Lifetime Classic NA", it too has a strong sensitive tuner and easy to use, in fact I believe it's even better than the CW600SP. I was able to get a few extra weak TP's that the other receivers couldn't get, it pulls in TP 12120 with ease. It also has faster channel changing too. The Fortec remote is not universal but has a wider beamwidth allowing a less direct aim.
I also prefer the LED display over the CW, the CW display is too bright while the Fortec is soft and looks more so "high end" product.
I found my Fortec on eBay for $108 and free shipping. All in all, I prefer the Fortec, it's a great receiver for the money spent, I highly recommend it. A BIG :up

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

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.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
