[photoman76]

PBS is planning to add a PBS HD West feed by the end of this year.

Here is their current transition plan:

That would be nice. Pretty useless having both PBS-East & PBS-West on my Expressvu system when they show the same thing at the same time.

I hope that after they make all the changes, they remain DVB. It's not clear if they will change modulation format or not. I believe their Sencore receivers can do dvb, dvb-s2 and dvb 8psk (trellis).

Guess that means adding another dish to my house to get AMC 21.

Time to start working on the wife.

You should be able to do a dual feed with G18, as AMC21 will be only 2 degrees away.

I for one can't wait for AMC21. My reception on AMC3 is marginal at best!

2 degrees is too close for most dish/LNB setups.

I know with a T90 it can't be without modifying LNBs and holders.

I figure I'd pick up another SC 75e dish and aim it at 125/129W.
