Music in FTA

[zamar23]

Can you guys suggest any sats, TPs and unscrambled channels in Ku-band FTA that broadcast nice music of various styles, including audio only and video channels? Its not only about TV after all! An organized list of such channels will be of common interest.

I have seen English music videos on PEN TV on 97.0°W Galaxy 19 Ku in the afternoon, and Retro Jams on 123.0°W Galaxy 18 Ku also shows music videos.

Zamar,


Hey buddy! Good to see you once again!

Here is one channel that you will want to investigate, this is not music, but it is sponsored by one of the guys here on this site. Check out Access America on Galaxy 19 97.0W!

On the same satellite, there is a channel for country folk called TEST 243 (BlueGrass) if you like Alabama and good country music, you will like this one!

I have to do some searching for a good Rock and Roll or Oldies channel now!

Have you listened to the bluegrass one lately. I read on their website that they got rid of it.

 

[Frenchophile]

are you looking for music videos or is audio-only sufficient?

Yeppers guys and gals, it is still there and sending strong signals to me. I have been listening to it for a few hours now.

I like country music, but it has to be good country music, this is! This is the country music that I like! Hope you like it, too.

Thanks everyone for suggestions! It doesn't look like too many channels anyway - sounds a bit strange. I'm looking for videos, but mostly for "audio only" in English, Spanish and possibly other European languages (like Sweden Abba style) for a background nice music of various styles, as we like variety.

Personal greetings and thanks! Actually, I'm here quite often, but probably posted in topics a bit aside of your interest. As my motorized dish is now perfectly aligned, I wanted to add some music to the mix. Wanted to look also for an extra HD receiver, as now prices come down. As Coolsat stopped new product development, Digiwave seems to drop their clone Diamond HD. But - the same issues pop up - no DVB-S2 signals reception and so-on...Some say its a firmware issue, but reality its earlier Connexant chipsets couldn't lock DVB-S2 contrary to advertized specs. They keep improving the chipsets though.

Rock an Roll Music

Hey friends. I found this excellent Country music channel on 97.0W - TEST 243. (Bluegrass on Lyngsat)

Can anyone point me to a great Rock and Roll channel or an oldies channel?

Thanks my good friends!

Galaxy 3C KU @ 95W on the radio side. Listening to Jumping Jack Flash right now. It seems to be in-house music for Family Dollar stores. Beach Boys on now.

Good info. But why open several Music Threads?

Merge em', I say!
They playing Sledgehammer now. Rock on.


The one that loads as MT12 has two channels on it. One on the right side and one on the left. I've been listening to the left side audio and turned on simulated stereo on my amp, sounds great.

How exactly you shut down the right channel? They come both. They can be separated to different speakers by choosing advanced HT Receiver settings, but I can't shut down the right channel unless disconnecting surround speakers after separating channels.

My mistake, this should have been posted with the other existing thread.

Most of the receivers I've used you press the 'audio' button then scroll down off stereo and select right or left. I will be in mono, but since that's how it is sent to the sat that's the best you can get it.

Yep!
