    Just out of curiosity what of you think Freeview in UK,could work in USA?

    Sky actually just renewed their lease to 2029 (which is the EOL for the Astra 2G satellite, no idea if there is a replacement planned): https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/sky-issues-update-future-tv-30138604

    Just out of curiosity what of you think Freeview in UK,could work in USA?

    Actually, there are not a lot of religious channels on the satellite when compared to the vast number of mid to lower tier specialty channels that are available for free that here in North America you would have to fork over money to watch. Some of those channels are very good channels. Also, US...

    Just out of curiosity what of you think Freeview in UK,could work in USA?

    Freeview is by OTA antenna, Freesat is by Ku dish: https://www.freesat.co.uk/ Satellite channels: https://www.lyngsat.com/Astra-2E-2F-2G.html Neither would work here, too many extremely greedy companies, including all the OTA channels. Whether something like that might have worked 20-30...

    Stargate Writers Have Teamed-Up For A Brand New Sci-Fi Series - The Ark

    I agree, I enjoyed pretty much all of the episodes this season, with the caveat you mention.

    FTA Contact in Japan

    LOL! You just reminded me of one of my favourite stories: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/my-epic-all-night-paraclipse-odyssey.102529/

    How accurate is Lyngsat today?

    I don't see either channel in my radio list for 97w.

    AMIKO Amiko Mini HD265 clean up TP list

    Menu - Installation - Satellite Installation - go to the satellite , then (yellow) TP Edit, then you can either use the (yellow) Delete button to individually delete what transponder you wish to delete, or use the (blue) Delete All to delete all transponders on the satellite, and then re-scan...

    TitanTV guide

    Completely agree. They have even screwed up the search for channels function, no longer an intuitive search which was especially useful for finding FTA channels.

    TitanTV guide

    I was able to login, and channels are all correct. Did have to change the time setting to have DST turned on to have the programming correct and not out by an hour. Don't like the new look, and seems to take longer to load. Also have to click on a program for the description (whereas before...

    SES15 at 129W - is anything there?

    Besides the "normal" North American beam, SES15 has 46 spot beams. I get 4 data transponders (ex. 11709 V 55226, 11770 V 55226, etc.). So you may get some in your area. All are stronger than 12122 H 17000. 10 degrees off-centre would be a no-go in my opinion. I am using a 60e dish (on-centre)...

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    Intelsat 35e at 34.5w also has two on the Caribbean beam (and I get them here) 11100 H 45000 and 11100 V 45000.

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    I downloaded and zoomed in on the photo from the back of the dish, and can see the skew (judging by the coax connection/cable). To me, it looks backwards, and the skew should be on the other side of zero (from the back of the dish leaning like this / instead of \ ). Basing this on my fixed...

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    According to SatStar.net, the beam you are in, French Polynesia/US, is only vertical: https://www.satstar.net/satellites/intel18.html How much skew is on the LNB? Since the dish is upside down, how did you adjust it, and did you go the right way?

    Edision SES3 103W Transponder 19 (12080 H 29970 3/4)

    Correct, last information I have seen is that EOL is at the end of the month. Since DW hasn't moved yet, don't know what they will be doing (moving or ceasing broadcast). Usually, when satellites reach EOL they no longer use any fuel to correct the drift and go into an inclined orbit, which...

    Satellite receiver RS-232 Loader search, anyone knows??

    I thought that the internal flash drive in the HDVR 3500 was easily removed from inside the case. Would be the easiest way to transfer it to a computer.

    For those of us in Canada, the new season begins on Tuesday (the 16th) at 9 p.m. EDT on CTV Sci-Fi Channel (which has also being airing the previous three seasons). Through my Shaw Direct subscription, I was able to binge watch (VOD, for free) all three seasons.

    AMIKO Amiko Mini 4K uhd S2X

    I believe the menu is the same as my Amiko Mini HD265. Press the menu button, go into "Service", then "Organizing Services" There you can highlight (big round button) the channel(s) you want to move, and move them (cursor over to the two arrows).

    Star Trek Discovery

    Completely agree! My thought after they got two or three of the pieces of the puzzle was, just destroy them so no one could get it. Too powerful of a tool (more like a weapon) to be in anyone's hands (including Starfleet). Then there was Tilly with her homespun advice to a former Captain about...

    Spring Cleaning?

    That's true about the Electric Car forum, but the "Pub Members Electric Vehicle Showroom" I can see and view all the posts in the forum. As well, I see new posts to it when I check "What's New".

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    You have it backwards, 1 is 110, 3 would be 128.

    Press release from Intelsat's website

    Not too sure how I feel about this, don't really like massive takeovers which lessen competition, since SES will now only not own the SES satellites, but also the Galaxy and Intelsat satellites. Probably my biggest concern is that when SES built and launched their new fleet due to the loss of...

    What the Cable Industry used to say about Cord Cutting

    Lucky for you and your friend. Doubt the same can be said for the other thousands who lost their jobs at Disney, as well as the other streaming services that have cut jobs.

    What the Cable Industry used to say about Cord Cutting

    Lots of streaming people have lost their jobs in the last year. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney, etc. with cuts.
