Did we lose things on Galaxy 16, 99C West?

Did they run out of bandwidth for the ABC channel in the mux? The other channels aren't bad but poor ABC!

It's pretty much unwatchable, I hope I can someday get the ABC Channel on Anik F3 cause this one @ 99 is a lost cause

ABC-HD is acceptable but the SD feeds look lousy to me.

 

[Mr Tony]

by the way did WAPA go "adios?"

Cant scan it in for the last couple days

3735 H 3776

 

[John Popper]

WAPA coming in here at a stable 70% (3.735H 3.780) , I have never been able to get sound though

I now see that when I pull the front of the dish down slightly, my quality goes up to 45%, so now I'll have to see what I can mechanically change to make that slight downward pull permanent without wrecking the whole thing.

I forget if you said this was a stationary dish, or motor driven.

IF motor driven, in your location, move the dish to the WEST using the motor, then loosen the bolts holding the dish to the pole, and physically move it back to the East, this will effectively raise the dish.

It's the opposite if you were to pull the dish UP and it increases the quality, that would mean your dish is already too low. You need to lower the dish to get it back to where it was before it moved.

If you need to raise the dish, move the motor to the EAST, then loosen the bolts holding it to the pole, and move the entire assembly, motor and all, to the WEST to get it back. After moving it, be sure to re-tighten those three or four bolts holding it to the pole.

I think I got that right, motor to East, then move assembly West to lower, movor WEST then move assembly East to raise.

Did that make sense?

I just checked and I'm not getting anything on 3776H 3.225 the Casper WY NBC Channel , the rest of the channels come strong though

nothing here in MN on a blind scan

 

[John Popper]

Ice, are you getting signal on the Casper NBC Channel right now?

 

[Mr Tony]

nope., During the winter I never get it for some reason

Spring to late fall it comes in fine

 

[John Popper]

I was just getting it nice and clear this morning, even watched some Hockey there and now nothing

Thanks for the help, but I got them in now. My dish is motor driven.

Believe it or not, I think I just bent it slightly into place. I pulled forwards on the dish, and held it in place for a minute or so, and then pulled on the supports holding the lnb over the focus for another 30 seconds.

I didn't put much force on anything, but now I get the networks with 35% quality, enough for a stable signal, and the World Harvest transponder that I was able to get before at 45% quality is now 65% quality, so I'm safe for now. Maybe I just did some handwaving, and cast a spell on it to make it work I don't know, but I'm happy I got them in - they're basically the only channels I watch. Thanks again.

I now got back NBC Wy with a blind scan, same frequency, same everything yet I wasnt getting it before.
At least I got 2 Televisa Channels thanks to the rescan!
