ok I aimed today to Galaxy 18 @ 123W and I am getting
more than 86 on most Tp's . BTW I had to update the TP
list that my receiver had.
I've never got more than 70 on Gxy10, but on one transponder on Gxy18 I'm getting 86. That said, the bulk of the programming I want is the stuff getting nailed by what I'm told is the 125° bird. Now I'm wondering if 121° is causing issues too? I have the same sized wok at you, btw. Do you know where to pick up the 1.2m Channelmaster (or other) dish locally?
I had to add a few transponders to my Viewsat too.
BTW as I was suspecting the Elevation scale on the Dish
arm is not off by 8 degrees!!! , it was just that the
pole or mast was not plumb or perfectly vertical. Today
for Galaxy at a different location in the patio it was
off by only 4 degrees , it has to be the mast inclination.
Yes, putting the pole vertical cannot be understated. In my case, I have it mounted sideways to the back wall of my house making alignment a little more challenging.
The coolsat 6000 receiver sometimes looses the other SAt
channels after doing several manual scans
I don't seem to have this problem with my Viewsat, but I gather previous firmware iterations did. They also had issues with creating duplicate channels. I have noticed that out of the box the Viewsat has all satellites turned ON which causes problems. You have to go into each one that isn't used and turn the LNB power OFF.
TV channels show a lot of macroblocking or compresion
artifacts due to the low bitrate allocated for them. some
even the picture jumps although it could be a source related
issue but coincidentaly the all have a commun culprit
, low SR or Symbol Rate.
Agreed. Some channels are very grainy on the bigscreen.
