college football feeds?

[wantogetstarted]

They do have but VERY expensive.. I'm not sure how much is expensive..

What is the name of the receiver? I would like to research it a little.

I'd much rather just use a 102g. If you've got a computer that can keep up, great. If not, hey, you've got something that can do more than pick up satellite signals. After doing some pricing on newegg.com, it's about the same price to put together an adequte PC than buy that receiver. And possibly, if some new DVB standard comes out, it's easier and cheaper to get new program and driver updates than buy a new receiver. That's just my two cents.

It is the Quali-TV. It retails for $700, it will do 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 + HD. It does have a fair share of bugs. (Channels tend to disappear now and then/ sometimes problems scanning in a channel) From what I read they no longer make them anymore but I believe the two places who sold them still have them in stock, just not many.

Tomorrow will be a good time to start searching. There's probably a dozen or so games tomorrow night. I'm sure half of them will be televised somewhere. Hopefully all of them.

They can be had VERY cheaply these days and can be slaved to a DVB receiver.

You got the right PSB!! Look at this auction I just won!

Just another example to prove your theory. I'll post a seperate thread to request reviews for this item.

And are the analog feeds something like 4:2:0 Analog instead of 4:2:0 Digital? Aren't most feeds digital or even 4:2:2 Digital?

4:2:0 and 4:2:2 (or any other chroma ratio) are only descriptive of digital signals. These do not apply to analog signals.

Is there any way to get this game? only on mediacom cable?

havent found it yet...sorry

Most college feeds seem to be analog so you would need an old analog receiver. They can be had VERY cheaply these days and can be slaved to a DVB receiver with a short RG6 coax run.

I am very interested in how to accomplish this. I have a fortec classic NA (which has a loop out to connect another reciever), and a motorized dish. So if I hook up an analog receiver to the loop out, I presume I can point the dish with my fortec, and get channels from the same satellite analog? No different LNB needed? And I can have both receivers decoding a signal at the same time (so I could have a TV hooked to my fortec watching digital, and another TV hooked to the analog watching analog)?

Where would I find a list of "analog" channels for a satellite? Currently I look here for the list of channels: http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html

yes. But one catch...same polarity on the same satellite

No different LNB needed?

nope. Same LNB can do both

And I can have both receivers decoding a signal at the same time (so I could have a TV hooked to my fortec watching digital, and another TV hooked to the analog watching analog)?

correct.

99% of the analog channels on KU are feeds (come and go). Weekends are the best to find the analog feeds (sports)

 

[a_hockeynut]

yes. But one catch...same polarity on the same satellite

Is there a way around the "same polarity", like can I turn off my fortec, or does it need to be on to "pass through"?

Then I guess I am only watching from one receiver, but if I am limited to same polarity I am not sure how I would find the feeds on a given satellite without knowing the polarity (I like to be able to just scan them all and find them, blind scan is wonderful!).

99% of the analog channels on KU are feeds (come and go). Weekends are the best to find the analog feeds (sports)

I am very interested in finding sports. Of course I am mostly going to be interested in hockey games. Are there many hockey games which are on analog?

I have a very old analog receiver (was a giveaway on freecycle) which I have no clue if it will work or not, but hey, it might be worth a shot. On the front it says "SAT-COM 240 satellite receiver", and has one dial for video, and one dial for audio. My only concern would be it might not have the range of channels which a "newer" analog receiver would. Thoughts?

 

[Mr Tony]

Is there a way around the "same polarity", like can I turn off my fortec, or does it need to be on to "pass through"?

no. Part of the issue is the older C/KU analog boxes can't control polarity. If you hook it directly up, you get H side only. If you turn off the Fortec, it defaults the analog back to H

Then I guess I am only watching from one receiver, but if I am limited to same polarity I am not sure how I would find the feeds on a given satellite without knowing the polarity (I like to be able to just scan them all and find them, blind scan is wonderful!).

I can watch 2 things (one analog one digital). There isnt much on analog (sports feeds) and with only 24 channels its pretty easy. When I'm blind scanning a satellite, I flip over to nalog and scan one side and when the digital box starts canning the other polarity, then I scan the analog again

I am very interested in finding sports. Of course I am mostly going to be interested in hockey games. Are there many hockey games which are on analog?

there are some. Most WCHA games that are on FTA are on digital but some east coast teams do still use analog (at least last year they did)

My only concern would be it might not have the range of channels which a "newer" analog receiver would. Thoughts?

the only difference between an "old" and a "new" analog is the old were C Band only. As long as it can get KU you're fine. That box may be C-Band only. Is there anything on it that allows you to flip to KU Band?

Analog is pretty simple
24 channels per satellite (19 on SBS6)
no symbol rate (it takes up the whole channel)

I can scan a satellite for analog in 10 seconds

 

[a_hockeynut]

That box may be C-Band only. Is there anything on it that allows you to flip to KU Band?

You may be right. The only switches on it are AFC on/off, and video inv/norm.

I guess I may be shopping for a KU band analog receiver next! Is there an easy way to tell if a box is C-band only or KU band also (other than a visable switch)?

Thanks for all of your help!!!!

 

[Mr Tony]

other than a switch or if its a semi-newer one, there will be a light on the unit for KU (or the remote).

Most Ebay auctions, if you go that route, should say if it will do both. I had an old C Band reciever with click knobs and 2 dials on it...wouldnt work for KU
