Happened to be flipping around last night and turned on ol Doc Scott. Now for the newbies who don’t know who he is, he’s the crazy guy on IA6 preaching the word and in mid sentence will holler “git on the telephone” and if you watch him throughout the day, you can actually see him age. Yes he is dead (died last year) but his preaching still goes on through tapes and his wife who preaches on Sunday.
But I caught a snippet that I really wish I would have recorded. He was letting people know that they were on KU now. He has been on AMC3 analog (or as he says GE3) for years but I guess at the time just started up KU. Reason I bring this up is some of the stuff he mentioned.
He mentioned that “some of you can’t pick us up with the big dish due to zoning rules and regulations. Well the FCC passed a law that says you can have a dish up to 1 meter with no issues” so then was explaining how they are on KU band now along with C-Band. He went on about how to get the dish and stuff and he mentioned that the units sell for around 450 bucks complete (and he said the boxes were tuned to them..pretty expensive setup if you ask me). He kept saying “remember the symbol rate” and had the info on the screen. Telstar 6 11864.750 MHZ, 3.5156 symbol rate
But the two points he drove home pretty well were
“On the big dish, which we are analog, as you scan you see snow then our picture when its zeroed on and then snow as you pass us. With KU we are on digital and digital you MUST be zeroed in on the signal or you won’t pick it up. There is no snow with digital”
“Make sure the right info is programmed into the receiver or it won’t work”
And then he went on about Dish Network and the fact to see him you need a second dish. He said he doesn’t understand why he is in religious category “I should be in the Educational area”. He didn’t like the fact that you need a second dish “I don’t care if its free…put one of them porn networks on a second dish and put KDOC (the channel he is on) on the main dish” and to call Dish and deluge them with calls to tell them to put KDOC on the main dish (which is now on a spotbeam on 119)
I just thought it was weird to hear him talk about KU band, the FCC and Dish all within 15 minutes.
