Montana PBS at 90% :)

[Dr_Brian_Oblivion]

went out and tweaked the lnb and WOW
Anybody else notice a jump?

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. went up here on the Coolsat up to 97%

 

[mrweather]

98% on the Coolsat here.

But... the other PBS channels are around 70% right now.

 

[GaryPen]

Sat and TP?

 

[SatinKzo]

I am getting it through partial foliage at 73%

 

[ghia]

74% here w/ Traxis 3500 and .85 m dish.

 

[Keith Brannen]

It was at 90% on my system early this morning (which was a big surprise as it has never been higher than the 60s). When I checked again in the afternoon it had gone down to the high 40s (no other transponder on that satellite had dropped in SQ), and now it is back up to 90%!

 

[1inabillion]

No change on my set up the Montana PBS is 70% thats what i always got

 

[mrweather]

Sat and TP?

AMC-3, 87 west.

Montana PBS: 12145 H 4340
Other PBS's: 12110 H 14025

BUT the other PBS ones use AC3 audio so unless your receiver can pass it through to a Dolby decoder or some kind you won't here anything.

I was going ot ask why some of them I couldn't get any audio. I guess I'll have to hook everything up to the receiver now.

Btw, can I ask why Montana PBS is so popular? At least it seems to be from all the posts here.

 

[DiscoLoveGrapes]

A) It's a PBS channel that you can get without messing the AC3 audio

B) It's FTA

C) Red Green reruns (although I may be speculating on this)

true & true. For some of us, we can't get a PBS OTA

C) Red Green reruns (although I may be speculating on this)

yes they are reruns. Red Green Show was completed this year (April)
300 shows

 

[Optical Serenity]

Its an english speaking actual station. Not just a feed. Although feeds are cool, it is sometimes need to watch a whole show on the Montana PBS.

 

[Othea]

No title

Yes, I too am delighted that the signal quality has gone up to about 90%. This is the only PBS I get, and in the past it was always borderline at about 30%.

 

[RVD420]

I am getting 75% on my Traxis 3500.

 

[TiminMb]

Even I'm getting it !!!!

 

[Dr_Brian_Oblivion]

Seems to have dropped down to the high 50s here.
Anybody else drop??

 

[TiminMb]

Yes, it dropped in quality here as well.

 

[Mr Tony]

72 here (but I went back to the software on my Coolsat that maxes at 85)

 

[PSB]

72% Signal Quality (Traxis DBS 3500) here also tonight
