Hi all,

primestar31,

Don’t know how I missed that post.
I should probably finish drinking my second cup of coffee before posting.
Thanks

Just went to this one to see what I got. My receiver has that TP at 4159 H 5790 and the Q on it is 69/72%. 4180 V 27500 on that bird is screaming @ 85%!

Just saying.................

Yeah, but there's no video...

Can't pick it up here anymore either. I haven't tried a rescan though.

Hi all,

You would think with all the knowledgeable people here, someone would have a handle on whats going on with this transponder.

Hi all,

Just checked back in this morning on this mux (4156) on 99w, to see if there were any changes. Well there is…the signal that was there minus audio and video, is now gone.

Hi all,

One of the guys over at Ricks site emailed the Carribean Broadcasting Network…a BIG no no…to see what happened to this mux.
We may get an answer and we may also…if it ever the comes back… have it scrambled thanks to this guy.

Very foolish!

Very foolish!

FTA4PA,

I agree.
I learned from day one in 1991, NEVER contact a broadcaster regarding a satellite feed.
Some people never learn.

I don't know if they care enough to scramble over such a small group of people. I don't care to watch that mux although I sometimes go there just to see how well I've learned Spanish.

TheEel,

Well…many networks feel the need to scramble over our small group of enthusiasts.
BTW…the stations in this mux are english speaking.

Last time I checked some of the commercials were in Spanish. The regular programming was in English.

I've been watching for years to get east coast NBC. All English, all the time. Not that it matters now.

Well, This answers my questions and more. I updated my receiver early Saturday AM and tried to scan in that carrier and got absolutely nothing here too! That dude that contacted the up-linker may have killed it's return unencrypted for us all! And that is the only NBC I have here since the main feeds are now encrypted! Dang it no LA Fire for me when the show returns.. Thanks for the sad news!

Hi all,

For what it’s worth, that guy over at Rick’s who contacted the Caribbean Broadcasting Co. has taken alot of heat for his actions.
Also…not that it matters much now, but it would have been nice for Caribbean Broadcasting to alert us that their signal would end, much like other satellite broadcasters have done in the past.
I wonder how this LOS is affecting those down in the Virgin Islands.

I can kinda sorta get NBC and ABC with my antenna when the weather is clear, not too common for here. They’re like 40-50 miles south but almost in line with several lakes. But CBS and FOX, zilch. They’re supposedly only 18 miles but they’re more like due east, and the way the land is cut from the glaciers, plus all the forests, makes a signal impossible.

So FOX is the real bummer. There are at least a couple Wolverines games coming up on FOX.

Kinda like it is here But if I had internet access where my repeater site is located I can get about 28 channels pointed the same direction. Otherwise a rim shot signal from PBS is it,located in a bowl of sort I'm lucky that works.. It would have been nice to have a little warning so it wasn't as strong of a hit LOL
