I think the international channels are on the 95 satellite, which requires a separate dish. Without the dish installed, there are no transponders there to check.

Please open new thread with the question - you'll get better attention and will not post off-topic here .

[you will need intrn combo - 101W+95W BIG dish]

broke off posts to new thread

Are you referring to TFC Direct? You only need 1 satalite dish which carries this package.

you'll need the 95 world dish. international channels will not work on any other dish than that, HOWEVER... ive had installed a Slimline and got the international channels along with regular programming... so i dunno if just having SLIMLINE would do the trick but i highly doubt it.

I'm lost here.

ONLY 95 WORLD dish provide access to int channels. You could use only the 85 world dish, because it have 101W and 95W LNBFs.

I thought they started moving some Internationals over to the "normal" D* sats?

i dunno, i installed one last summer to an asian starting a new resturant and he was from overseas, and he strictly wanted international so i called back bc my workorder said to use Slimline 5 lnb and a 18 dish for locals (this was before the digital transaction took over) and after to my amazed, i was getting japanese speakin channels... i was shocked bc ive never came across this before.


how it got the channels, i have no clue. since then i have had no service calls since and i drive by that place every day and that slimline dish is still up. i got a world direct dish still in my van and havent used it yet.

Ummm, time to dig into GCT charts - what was that japaneese channel number ?

 

[Mr Tony]

Thats what I'm thinking smith

[Smith P.]

But

i was getting japanese speakin channels

, not Chineese.

 

[Mr Tony]

In the techs post above he mentions that the channels I posted were right (post 12). I guess he got his languages mixed up

 

[Smith P.]

I wouldn't count his words "that would be it.." as acknowledge .

 

[sddtvtech]

well chinese, japanese, asians... either way.. all foreign channels.

i just remember installing a 5LNB slimline even though we use it for regular installs, he was able to get foreign channels.

transponder at 95 w for use 101 and 95 w fpr directv receiver

I think the international channels are on the 95 satellite, which requires a separate dish. Without the dish installed, there are no transponders there to check.

Yes. I forgot to tell about 101w. I know there is 32 transponders on 101w, but I don't know what to check for 95w. I am leaving in San Francisco,CA 94112
Thanks in advance.
