IA-6 is my favorite. I've scanned during the day that thing lights up like a christmas tree. Nice to watch the video feed from the LA news choppers.

Hi, I do listen to aircraft on the normal airband (118-136 MHz) with my scanner. It appears in Australia you can pick up any airport (even ones far away) since they simulcast their signals to a satellite. Here you can listen to his feed with Winamp http://audio.liveatc.net:8012/au_sat.m3u...

I understand this is possible down in Australia according to this site. http://www.satdirectory.com/--atcviasat.html He is able to pick up all the ATIS, Airport, and even HF frequencies right from the Optus B1 satellite. Very cool!!! Now the big question is do any North American satellites...

It might be a hassle, but FIOS is definitely worth it. 15/2 here... I'll never go back to Mediacom (yuck yuck yuck)! Can't wait for FIOS TV so I can dump Dish. Hopefully it's here soon.

I concur with Iceberg. I purchased a Coolsat 5000, and his review pushed me in that decision. What a great investment. I enjoy scanning for feeds and it really does a good job. The blindscan feature is great and is much faster than on my Fortec Lifetime Ultra. I also like the ability to do a...

How good is the video when viewed remotely? I've never been a fan of "Internet video" as it always looks very poor. Can the Slingbox be customized to provide quality video streams? I've considered getting one of these. My Internet connection is 15Mbit(down)/2Mbit(up) with Verizon FiOS, so I...

Great recording! I'm always interested in hearing recordings from satellites. Also the EME stuff is interesting :)

Here is an interesting site http://www.uhf-satcom.com You can probably make a customized antenna for UHF satellite reception. Most of the UHF SatCom downlinks are in the 243-263 MHz range. Unfortunately most traffic is encrypted but occasionally you can catch some clear stuff. Sometimes...

I've noticed that too. I believe those are data TP's (such as the Internet) which is why they don't show up as any channels?

Now what we really need is a CNN International feed.

My dish got slightly warped when it was shipped. I was able to fix it by putting it on the ground and pushing it back into place. It's worked fine ever since.

Bummer. Guess I'll have to wait until I get FiOS TV to receive this channel.

Lyngsat shows two satellites at this position and shows no data. Are these satellites being used or are they retired? What puzzles me is that I scanned this satellite and a channel comes up saying it's AMC9 even though I sucessfully monitor AMC9 at a 83W. When I manually put this TP under the...

Ahh so it wasn't just me then? I used to have it pixelate all the time on my Fortec like the signal was bad, even though its over 90%. But on my Twinhan card it has always worked without any issue. Nice to see it working on both!

For San Diego folks, having KUSI added is awesome! It's my favorite San Diego news cast.

That is really too bad Alaska is off the air. I'd love to be able to watch programs I missed. Being on the west coast Alaska and Hawaii are about the only options to do that. No Hawaii on FTA is there? I've never seen any except for KGMB wild feeds. Really a bummer!

That is an amazing setup. And I didn't even see any C-band dishes yet.

I was also wondering what happened. I thought my computer got infected with spyware or something. I typed in g00ns forum into Google and it looks like they have attacked a lot of sites. I hope they get caught and arrested. People like that are truely scum!

There is also S-Band which is in the 2GHz range. I belive it's mainly used for communications such as the space shuttle and for space craft. I've listened to SatCom downlinks in the 260 MHz Range. A while back I heard a weather report being given to C-130 aircraft on their way to McMurdo...

I just tried it here and no success either. It was working fine a few days ago last time I checked. Perhaps they are offline or moved to another TP or sat?

It's probably an illegally flashed receiver but the bigger problem is that is was sent via spam. Never support spammers aka scammers by purchasing their products from unsolicited emails.

My favs: - CBS Newspath, ABC NewsOne Channel - All other news feeds (Service 1, Service 2, Tandberg Service, DIGITAL SNG, etc...) and sports backhauls - NBC 4:2:2 feeds on AMC1 - Intl broadcasts on IA5 especially during a regional crisis Also nice to have some east coast stations...

I have problems with it freezing on 12059. I have to manually delete that one each time after doing a power scan, then it will finish with no problem.

There is a site called SatcoDX which seems pretty good. Can't post URL but do a search in Google it comes right up. You can also import the channel/transponders right into gTools and upload it to your unit.

Here are my favs CBS Newspath on IA6 Fox News Feeds on IA6 Other good news feeds on AMC1, AMC9, Galaxy11, and IA8 - mostly hurricane stuff. I have seen some NFL preseaon on IA8 and plenty of hurricane coverage from New Orleans WDSU which is also on IA8 at this time. Sunday I found...
