    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    I have officially gotten the shaft from Galaxy Marketing. I purchased all my FTA equipment(see below) from them and my experience went from good to bad in a hurry. They sold me a system that wouldn't do what their website says. I had the system for about 2 months and could't figure out how to...

    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    I know you guys said mistakes do happen but I am getting the shaft. I spoke to the company who sold me my system and they said because I had the receiver longer than a week I could only get a reduced price on a new unit if I returned my old unit and they couldn't even tell me how much of a...

    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    I will heed the advise of the "wise ones" and give these guys a break as long as they work with me and make this right. I did do a little more surfing and found out what the S/PDIF and the coax connector should look like and I definitely don't have them. I guess I'll just look at PBS until I can...

They said they would do a little research and get back to me tomorrow. From what I...

    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    I have tried to adjust the dish manually but the signal doesnt seem to get any better. I push and pull on the dish but only make matters worse.

    I tried, but with no success I tried all of the things that were suggested, short of buying another dish and dedicating it to AMC3, but had no success getting PBS. I was able to get 5 more MTA channels but I lost the Bloomburg channel. I entered the Montana PBS station transponder numbers...

    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    Yes those are the ones I am talking about. I am not quite sure which satelite I am on. I am assuming I am on AMC3 because I selected it from the list and the signal and quality were both good. I get no video or audio but I get good signal or strength. What is my next step

    How do I tune in PBS stations on AMC3

    I am about a month into my fta experience. I was able to tune in some of the major satelites AMC4, Galaxy 10R and 25.
