Got the FTA upgrades done this weekend with the satellites all scanned in. The digital audio cable is pretty short going to the speaker bar system, so I had to put the Amiko A3 receiver on top of the Star Trek original series DVD's. Maybe later I will look for a longer digital audio cable at Walmart. I was able to scan in more channels than what I had before with the smaller dish. I wasn't able to scan in any PBS stations on 125W satellite however, I still get the same scrambled movie channels. :-( Anyway, I'm very happy with the new A3 reciever, just have to figure out the audio sync with some channels. But everything is working great with a much improved picture quality. Special thanks go out to Michael (ke4est), he has been most helpful and patient with me this weekend dealing with my frustrations and exasperations with things that were not his fault. Like Micheal said the Amiko A3 is pretty much light years ahead of my aging Manhattan receiver and all that I will need for many years. :-D
