I've already sent you a PM but I'll chime in here also to get the discussion started. I think the S10 is the better choice. Since it is the newer box it should be supported longer. Also I read (sorry, can't remember where) that some firmware that works on the S10 doesn't work so well on the...

Low 70s is all I get on any satellite. I think that is normal for this box.

I received my Openbox S10 this week. I've watched the Pentagon Channel HD and an HD sports wild feed with no problems. I'm strictly Ku band and using the firmware the box came with, dated July 1 2011. I have not yet tried the PVR function.

Here is a link to the website you can use for sun outage calculations: Sun Outage Calculator Enjoy! :)

Bingo. I had a chance to work with it some more this afternoon, adjusting my dish up / down and left / right. I had been hesitant to do this because I was getting most everything I wanted but it did boost the signal a bit and now I can get NBC! :) Thanks for the help! Edit: I adjusted the...

I did the same thing last year because the networks seem to use the same few satellites each week. One thing I wonder about this year is ESPN's new contract with the SEC. Last year most ESPN and ABC games were on C band, but with the new SEC contract maybe we will get more games on Ku? We'll see.

Safe TV stopped broadcasting over that satellite about 2 months ago. As far as I know they are not available on FTA anymore. I'm not familiar with Familyland.

I got the DVB World software to scan regular DVB-S channels. For example, on AMC 1 at 103.0 I was able to get the Pentagon Channel. Video and audio were perfect. When I try to get NBC DVB-S2 by locking the transponder I get signal strength of 90% and quality of 55%. However I can't figure...

Thanks for the tips. I finally got a signal quality bar in the dvb world software but I'm not getting a picture. I should have any codecs required, so is there anything else I need to do? Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

I just bought the DVB World DVB-S2 USB box to use with DVBViewer. I'm Ku-band only and have tried to get the Florida Network, Louisiana Public Broadcasting and NBC, all without success. DVB-S channels come in fine. I was going to try the DVB World software but I can't find the channel scan...

You might also try Tele Culture channel on G19, they have programs in several different languages. 12177 Vertical 23000 SR

Here is a link to what you can find in the Russian language on Ku-band: FTAList.com - Russian Channel List Those channels are all on G19.

KFTL has a very low symbol rate that some boxes have trouble tuning. Neither my Fortec Star Mercury II nor my Matchbox Pro USB box can tune it.

I'm about 50 miles west of Savannah. Before permanently mounting my 90 cm Ku-band dish last year I took it out in the front yard and pointed it almost directly East through a gap in my neighbor's trees. I was able to pick up Telstar 12 at 15*. I remember my dish looked like it was pointing at...

Message sent. Thank you Scott.

I'm having the same problem, Fortec Star Mercury II with a 90 cm dish, some people can't get it, others get it with no problem.

Hey Radar, good luck, at least you are receiving a signal. I've tried several times to pick up the RTN East and West feeds off of this satellite and have not been able to. I don't have a problem with anything else I try so I feel like my dish is tracking the arc properly. I'm using a Fortec...

I'm getting KUIL for the first time in days. Signal quality is fluctuating wildly between 25-39% on my Fortec Star Mercury II here just west of Savannah, GA but the picture is steady.

I have the Match Box Pro and it will NOT pickup DVB-S2. I'm strictly Ku-band so it hasn't been a problem for me yet, it comes in handy to pickup hd and 4:2:2. Like others have said I use the Fortec Star Merc II to drive the dish.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute! My favorite is the NASA channel. :)

Success! I went back to DVB Dream, re-installed (for about the fourth time), went through the setup again and now it works! I don't know what I did differently this time but it's working, a little bit of pixelation but overall not bad! :D

Thank you Starman for your words of encouragement, it's nice to have someone throwing me a lifeline :D I have 2 external hard disk drives that were plugged in to usb ports, I unplugged them but it didn't help. I even tried uninstalling the Service Pack for Vista, it didn't help either. After...

No luck so far on ProgDVB - still have the video stutter no matter what I try. It is essentially unwatchable. But thanks to everyone for their attempts to help - I tried each of your suggestions. Blaze 3.5 worked pretty well yesterday for a couple of HD football games, I just hope I can use...

Thanks for the tips Starman, I have tried using just one TV and still get the video stutter, but I'll try out your other ideas as well as those of the other helpful posters this weekend. Right now I think I will try to get a football game in HD with the Blaze 3.5 software, I tried it for a few...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I'm going to work with this some more this weekend and report back on my progress (or lack of same :)). I'll give a shout out to Prog before I give up on this. I haven't tried HD yet, I think ProgDVB Standard just does SD? I thought I might try the...
