Happy about g10r - 123 degrees

[Peter Iowa]

This AM getiing transponders 11719 and 11799 mhz (your receiver may say
11720 and 11800) but with minimum power with new 31 inch dish with one inch
of snow on it.
Too bad new LNB was no good. Yesterday could not pull in 11799 transponder.

Snow shoveller.

From one snow shoveller to another, you are very lucky. I'm finding the majority of G10r's signals to be off and on for reception here in Winnipeg.

I get about 63 to 65% quality here in the Atlanta area using a Direcpc dish.I did notice it was a little worse monday when we had bad weather.I have never aimed my winegard ds2076 over there due to my house being in the way.I would assume it would be better.Overall G10 has some great programming.Love the RTN stations.Watched Hogan's Heroes yesterday for the first time in many years.
What a riot.

Welcome to satellite guys Peter, just relax and enjoy what you can. I live in the Kansas City Missouri area. G-10 is one of my favorite sats too. From time to time some of the Equity stations are have some problems on one transponder here as well. lots of fading in and out. Hopefully it will go away. Fortunately here at least the other RTN transponders are still functioning at full bore. John if you like RTN be sure to check out INTELSAT 7 AND INTELSAT 5 there are a couple of channels there that play old movies, free to air. (startv and gamesnflix)

Hello,
Actually was on here a bit 4 or so years back; also, in mid-70's I
looked hard into buying supplies for big dish system for around 1-2 grand but
military surplus disappeared for cheap stuff and new cost was $20,000 then ...
(way beyond me) so only bought books to read about it then.
Now have 31 and 36 incher but the bigger is so klugy a setup - when 99
degrees had mux last week I opened window a little and dish pushes over
from telstar 5 and gets to that cnbc etc. People would say it looks crazy
but 2 years ago put it up really fast and it's still there.
The trouble is every 6 months we get a wind of 70 - 95 mph and I'm
glad dishes are not on roof... so I'll use 2 stationary dishes for a while.
Thanks for all the replies,

Peter

Neil, Thanks for the info on IA7 & IA5 with the old movies.I will check it out.
Peter, The wind can be a real pain sometimes.I got home yesterday and my motorized Winegard was off by a few degrees.Had to bump it a bit on every sat.Hope I don't have to do this to often.

G10R Strong on BUD!

Geez...I have been getting a good strong signal on G10R in Reno, NV, with signal Quality of 70%+ on my BUD and Viewsat Extreme (with the ku band LNB).
Maybe i should not do the dedicated dish this spring! I have noticed that the BUD does a great job with FTA...it is only the positioning and polarity that drive me nuts (using the 4dtv receiver to do these).
