Galaxy 11 - WB with Viewsat Extreme???

[directvplus]

Hello,

I was hoping someone could tell me how to get the 3 WB (Warner Brothers) channels on Galaxy 11 - tp 1 with my Viewsat 2000. I have tried the blind scan and it did not find these channels. I am more familiar with the Pansat 2500a and used to find these channels using the "advanced search" and manually entering the audio and video pid. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You will need a 6' dish and C-band LNBF for those channels.

C-Band signals have a 4 digit Freq. (Need at least a 6' dish for C-Band)

Ku-band signals have a 5 digit Freq. (Need at least a 30" dish for Ku Band)

WELCOME to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum!

Thank you for the welcome to this great satellite forum. I have a complete C band setup with LNBF, I scanned in about 30+ channels with the "blind scan" feature on the VS 2000. The WB is on tp #1, I have tried every search method I know of on the VS but it still will not bring up those 3 particular channels. Any other ideas?

You're not the only one having problems with the Warner Bros. network setup. I had to manually add them, see here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=75125

Thank you AWH, I read the posts on the link you provided and it is very helpful. I saw in the VS owners manual that there is a way to upload a channel list to the STB and it looks like that will be the solution here. In a lot of ways I prefer my Pansat 2500a over the VS 2000 as it has the means to manually add channels via the remote control (vpid, apid, sr, ect.). I am surprised that the Viewsat for being such an advanced STB does not include this feature.

Once again, many thanks...

the WB feeds need to be manually inputted (the audio, video & PCR) pids

with the CW starting soon, I wonder if these will stay there?

I understand what directvplus is trying to say. I looked on my Viewsat and there doesn't seem to be a function in the setup to allow manually inputting of the pids. I can do it with my Pansat but not the Viewsat. Strange...I hope this will be fixed with future software upgrades. Either this or if someone can chime in with a process that we are obviously missing.

I am also wondering if those WB/UPN feeds that I hear of every so often will stay up there when the CW Network starts. My guess is yes.

I gotta feeling the WB/ UPN feeds will disapear once CW Begins...


Here is a post I found on another board I read (has to do with radio broadcasting more than TV) but a TV engineer on another forum posted his picture of his MyTV Setup for the new network at the station he works at: http://radioinsight.com/boards/index.php?t=msg&th=4327&start=0&S=ac3977e11fa653573a2fa64f2f1744d9
