A Little Help Please

[8valve]

Please bare with me, I am still trying to learn FTA KU. I am a old early day C Band guy. I cut some more trees today and picked up AMC-21, SES1 and Echo 121. I now have 15 Birds, not bad for being deep in the Adirondack Mountains and lots of forest. However, I have a confusing problem. On AMC-21, I get great video and no audio. Sure would like to get PBS with audio On SES-1, I get great audio and no video. Doing a blind search, I have transponders listed for Fox News, Weather, MSNBC, CNBC and others. All have great audio and no picture. On Echo 121, Blind Search found 7 transponders. None have audio or video Any advice on the above 3 Birds/Transponders Thanks 8Valve

OK
On SES1 (101W) most of those stations are scrambled but the audio is not. History & Bio are atill in the clear
121W (Echo9) everything is scrambled on there. That is a Dish Network satellite. There are some feeds once in a while on there (hint check Saturdays) but mainly its the few DIsh scrambled channels
125W the audio is AC-3 so you need one of the following
-HD receiver...they will output AC-3 as is
-Audio receiver that can decode AC-3 (dolby digital)
-Sonic Voom/Cyberhome adapter (do a search in the FTA area...lots of threads on it)

You need a receiver that decodes AC3 audio for PBS: Cyberhome Sonic Voom decoder/headphone.
Amazon.com: Cyberhome CH-SRD 600R 6-channel Surround Headphones with Game Decoder: Electronics: Reviews, Prices & more
ox News, Weather, MSNBC, CNBC and others are [$] scrambled video, fta audio.
