New RTN Channels

[tvropro]

ALTV has gone through a change this year and revamped it's lineups. Quite a few good shows on that channel. That channel originally was the Nostalgia Channel, then became Goodlife Tv. It was located on G1 Tr 21 back in the day.

KDCG has switched over from Ion (Paxson) to RTN with an official launch date of yesterday (Nov 1st).

This station ..is it C-Band or Ku..Tks.

Not sure, I found this one on the net. I'm sure someone here will find it if it's up there.

Well, I spent $300 for a dish, rcvr, etc just to get g10r for RTN

Wouldn't you know it, no line of sight for that location....Shoulda checked it before I bought

That bird can be a bit tricky to get so make sure you don't give up until you know confidently that you can't get it.

Tree issue?

Tree Issue?

You bet.

I had a heck of a time with 119, it is so low to the horizon here in Boston.

123 is a major pain.

Had that worry about 123w while I was setting up a dish for a friend in Brooklyn. I wasn't accustomed to seeing 123w that close to the horizon It was about where 148w is where I live in New Orleans.

Don't giveup until all possibilities are exhausted. You may be able to get the dish on the roof to get over the tree's. Then there's always a chainsaw

True, here in New York my Primestar dish pointed at G10R looks as if it's pointed at the ground. At least it keeps the snow off it.

I guess that I can be grateful that I live in the exact center of Canada and that my true south satellite is G25 (to the degree)

If it's a dish mechanical issue, can you mount the dish upside down?
that is providing you can see the 123w over the horizon.

 

[cracklincrotch]

I'm in Halifax and I haven't had any issue getting G10R or G27 for that matter. I've never had any reason bother with 148W so I haven't tried.

My T90 does look like it's aimed at the ground somewhat though.

Yes, I am anxiously awaiting a report from him after the first Nor'Easter to see if my handiwork survives

Here in New Orleans, the problem is hurricanes, and my sat farm survived a category 1 storm installed (and Katrina without the reflectors installed, I took those inside).
