On AMC 5 right now
I'm on AMC 5. It has some good feeds. Do you think T6 has the better feeds? If so I'll try to point to that one in the morning. AMC 5 also has Empire Sports

You will not regret the move to T6, morning is best, some days are busy some are not, its my first stop of the day, but it only take seconds to get from one satellite to another when you have them stored, T6 is also my true south satellite thats another reason I like it, I peak my motorized system on it and everything else is set!
News feeds are great especially when they go off air to the general public : )

I spent most of the day on T6 watching the CBS feeds. *When I wasn't adding other SATS*
At least they are in English!
No Motor Yet
Only problem I have is that I don't have a motor yet. I have to do all the moving by hand. It's difficult sometimes to find the different Sat's. That is why I am looking for the best sat for the news feeds. I want to set the dish and keep it on the best one for the feeds till I get a motor. I hope T6 is better than AMC 5 cause I don't want to have to waste 5 days trying to fine AMC 5 again.

Winter will soon be here and the sky will be opened up for me.
I came to a decision this morning when I had literally 15 mosquito bites on my back and 12 on my arms from yesterdays fiasco with the dish installer, I'm moving out of this infested swamp the second my lease is up and moving to a house with no trees and a full concrete yard with no water for miles.
I was wearing a long sleeved shirt at the time too.
Damn mosquitoes.

If you save your AMC5 channels and mark the position on the pole/mast you will get back in a snap, done it that way for a LONG time before I got motorized. In fact its sometimes a good idea to store a few satellites/channels in your receiver before you hook up a motor as it can save a lot of time with the set up, you at least want to get your true south satellite found and stored before adding the motor.
T6 has a ton of feeds
AMC6 & SBS6 have sports feeds and sometimes news feeds
If you don't have a motor, use a magic marker and make little notations on the pole (that's what I did before I got my motor). Saved me from freezing my ars off in the winter

On T6 Now
Iceberg and PSB, I am now on T6. Couple of questions though. I get Reuters WNS (scrambled) OUD Chan A thru F (scrambled or bad channel) DOJ (scrambled or bad channel) Wright Patterson 1 thru 8 (scrambled or bad) CBS 1 (scrambled) I/P DVB Service (scrambled).
I get CBS Newspath, ABC News One, and 1 or 2 Video Paths. Am I doing something wrong? Also I asked you and PSB before about the signal being strong on Blomberg and ABC News One and very weak on the news feeds. Still having the same problem with that. I grounded the system. No difference. Could it possibly be my lnb? The lnb that I have is a FSS Digital KU LNBF 11.7-12.2 N/F 0.6 db. Are there better ones or could the one I have be defective? Thanks again.

Everything else is a crap shoot depending on the time of day

You know, I've seen and heard that name all over, but never connected the fact that it was him.
I surf the skies on a 13" TV while the family watches DirecTV on the 55" HD ... I'll have to turn the volume up and catch some of his ramblings.
Thanks.
