I haven't been on that 117.0°W in ages. Can anyone list an active transponder for the FTA channels so I can use it to align my dish?

I highly appreciate it!I looked at those channels. they are nagra encrypted and not FTA.. try 11940 30000V and 12060 30000V or 11980 30000V. Hope that helps. One more thing they are HVEC encoded

I see some channels have around 2-4 Mpbs video and others are more like 0.5-0.9 Mbps. Are the higher bitrate channels the ones in HD?
I'd be curious to know how that compares to the bitrates on Dish and Direct; does anybody know?
I agree, perhaps tomorrow were having a heavy down pour, you can measure a drop in signalVoom had very high costs making original content.
These guys are not serving up anything original.
I think the big issue these guys will have is they are not using a higher powered DBS satellite, but a regular KU satellite so I expect rain fade to be a real issue over standard DBS.
Cool, so a 76cm dish would tune them in just fine, I'm assuming?
If anyone calls them, make sure to let them know you saw them on SatelliteGuys.
Call them up, and ask if they let you install it yourself I asked that question, and the girl just said can I have your phone number so what does that mean? No one called me back yetWhat an odd bunch... for years, crying about why no one offers a skinny package or popular channels on satellite. Now a service is offering an alternative subscription package at a reasonable price. It has to start somewhere. Agreed, it isn't the perfect package of channels or PQ for each one of us; but damn, it is another satellite delivery option outside of Dish, Direct, cable or streaming.
Kudos to someone with the "tener cajones" to negotiate & implement a contract and be able to actually offer a package of popular channels that people actually have heard of and want to watch. On top of that, they hammered out a distribution deal with Best Buy to carry stock nationwide and contracted a major nationwide installation group. Guys, this is a major play! I am impressed!
I believe that a market exists for this package and it probably isn't the satellite and techno geeks who demand more than any service ever provides. Not everyone demands 12Mbps or even 2-4Mbps HD. Have you every been in an average customer's home and marveled at their subpar TV experience or the tiny screens that millennials watch hours and hours of crappy quality streams? LOL!!! Yes, a nonUHD world exists somewhere outside of this forum....
Before writing OrbyTV off during the first day of discussion on SatelliteGuys, shouldn't we see if they have what it takes to excel or if they misread the market and fail? I know... wishful thinking on my part!

... Self Installed and connected to a dish aimed at 117w and went through the online set-up. Provided the SIM ID # and set-up monthly auto-pay on a credit card. The sign-up took less than two minutes. The STB authorized within five minutes, did a software update and I'm surfing the channels now.
Does not require professional install to activate. ...
Actually, the service automatically activated online after entering my name, address, SIM # and a credit card on the website. I only called OrbyTV after the receiver activated to see if they would ship the duplexer and a terrestrial antenna.Back several posts Brian (Titanium) mentioned that he self-installed and just had to provide information for them to activate it:
