FaT Air: Saw the picture... Wow, how creative! Regarding my equipment, I've got one of those 6ft solid Fortec Star dishes and an LNBF with the following specs: I guess that I need a better LNBF, too. Thanks for all the feedback!

Greetings! I have a 6ft satellite dish with a dual band LNB and I can't figure out why I still can't get all FTA on Ku-Band. I receive most frequencies (some very strong) but some come in very weak. Having a 6ft dish you would think thats big enough for all of Ku reception. Am I wrong? What...

Hello Friends! I'm in the process of re-aligning my dish and need assistance with determining a strong transponder on a particular satellite. My highest elevated satellite on the arc is Brasilsat B3, which is at 75°W. According to Lyngsat, not all transponders have a beam to my location (I'm...

Greetings. Anyone out there having signal issues on transponder 14 at 61.5 orbital slot? I have a DISH 311 receiver and the signal meter is bouncing from 0% to 60%, located in SE PA. All other transponders are fine and there is no obstruction to the satellite dish. Any help would be much...

I'm not sure when it officially started but I see it being aired sometime in the late morning or afternoon. Next time I see it on I will provide the exact time.

WHT on G16 airs Green Acres during the week so put your two week notice in now :D

Audio on MeTV1 just appeared as of 10:41PM ET. I think that my previous post had something to do with it :D

No audio on MeTV1 over here, just a test tone for now.

Hello Friends! Sorry in advanced if this topic was covered already, but I was unable to search down anything on this. The signal on this channel used to be very strong on G3C but now I can't find it. Did it go away?

Anyone out there having any luck locking in Canal Info News on Intelsat 14, 45 deg west (11675-V-1240). I've got an AZBox Elite and getting over 50% but can't get this one to come in. I manually added in the PIDs but can't get a picture. Its in DVB MPEG4 format, not sure if thats the problem.

Hello Forum Friends! Just wondering how people are blind scanning out there. I have an AZBox Elite but use a Fortec Star Platinum for blind scanning. Normally when I blind scan I use either 4 or 6 increments but its taking tooooo long to get through the process. A typical scan takes up to...

Tron, You got it right. Its the fortec 6 footer with LNB sold by Sadoun. I've attached the specs of the LNBF on the first post. Looks like I'll need to invest in a seperate Ku-Band LNBF as you mentioned. Its gonna be a pain in the neck switching from C-band to Ku-band LNBF, something I'll...

Yes

BTW, shouldn't a 6 footer be picking the NBC mux on AMC 1 Ku? I'm on a mission to get this to work, no matter what it takes!!!:rant:

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to try harder. Once this format becomes mainstream I guess it'll be more difficult to catch C-band reception.
