AMC 21

[guapoharry]

(NET Nebraska finally has a stable signal but they continually mess around with the schedule-what the heck is a PBS station doing carrying sports anyway?).

Would someone clarify? Does NET Nebraska refer to content on 89W? Or, has that moved also?

 

[Mr Tony]

NET is on 89W C-Band in 2 formats

4 or 5 channels in DCII so need a 4DTV
SD feed in DVB...

 

[Babadem]

I don't have a lot of faith in that home-made 2° monstrosity.
We have discussed them here before - take a quick search for more comments.
I'm sure it was the same unit.
Prove my fears are unfounded.
- Windows
- Start button
- All Programs
- Accessories
- System Tools
- Character Map
(I make a shortcut to it and leave that on the desktop)
- Arial font is the default, so ...
- I use the ° which is located right in the middle, under the {

Or on a windows PC, you can hold down the "Alt" key and type in "0176" and let go of the Alt key and Viola!!! ° appears!

Actually my IceCold Brother that DVB-SD feed is now DVB-HD on G28 C-band. I watch it sometimes because my big dish is parked on G28 for the RTN's...

 

[Mr Tony]

haven't been over to 89 recently

I thought those were on G3C at 95°?

There is also a RTN mux on G28, it is DVB-S2.

 

[eurosport]

There is also a RTN mux on G28, it is DVB-S2.

Oh..OK, haven't got S2 capability....yet! Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Mr Tony]

Time to fix something after work tomorrow! (from my sig line) ...1.2m Primestar on AMC3,....

 

[McGuyver]

Hey, don't laugh but can somebody tell me what the S2 is?

 

[Anole]

Ya probably can't search for a two-letter "word" on the forum, but Wikipedia has it.
I haven't reviewed what they said, but it might give you a start.

I just noticed a lot of empty transponders on AMC 3 when I checked the Broadlogic Spectrum Analyzer tonight. Louisiana Public Broadcasting is gone from AMC 3 also. I hope all the PBS stations moved their dishes.

What about GPTV? Just curious if they are still there and whether they will stay DCII. They are/were about the last DCII PBS left, since SC and La switched, and Ok messed up their signal (at least for my receiver). If GPTV switches, I guess I'll officially put my 2 4200s in storage.

GPTV is still there in DCII.

Thanks. I guess I'll keep the 4200s out a while longer. Don't have them hooked to dishes right now, but have them where I can quickly switch coaxes when I need them.
