DMX Direct

[Murphdog]

Is DMX Direct still around? I have a old DMX receiver I would like to use again but I don't see their transponder anywhere on the Lyngsat charts. Their website is up so I don't think that they went out of business? Thanks in advance!

Are they the same as DMXMusic? If so they use Digicipher on most feeds (the G4R feeds are listed as clear but last I scanned they were either encrypted or not in DVB format). Some others are on Echostar 7 at 119 but there seems to be some confusion between DMX and the stereo Muzak feeds.

I did see those feeds but those are different. That might be what is left of the service. My Commstream receiver used to look at a single transponder and received 100+ AC3 audio channels that sounded great.

"DMX Music Service (aka DMX for Business, DMX Direct, DMX/DBS) is on Ku-band satellite:
Intelsat Americas 6 (formerly Telstar 6 / T6) transponder 25, 12146 MHz, vertical polarization.
It can be received with a ComStream DR200 digital audio receiver, or Antex DR500 or DR501 receiver.

DMX was previously on Telstar 4 (T4), but moved following that satellite's failure."

I did see that but I wasn't sure how current it was since Lyngsat makes no mention of a transponder 25. I will have my new dish up by Friday so I guess I'll see then. Thanks

The signal is there on IA 6. I was able to lock it using TSReader and Twinhan 1020a card. The DMX signal appears to be DSS QPSK.
It's probably not listed on Lyngsat because it's not mpeg2/dvb or digicipher 2 and a special proprietary receiver is needed to receive it.

Thanks! I was hoping that my receiver was not going to be a door stop.

Did you get your DR2000 to work?

Thanks! I was hoping that my receiver was not going to be a door stop.

How did you get your DR2000 to work. Do I need a diffrent kind of dish or do I need to be in some program. Thanks
