Reformed Gphr Fan Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I have to add another ringing endorsement to the many PSB has received. Pete has been helping me with my satellite for the last 4+ years and has been a great resource. I asked him for help with the recent move to the new satellite. He responded by telling me instead of coming out and then having to charge me, he would walk me through it. I am not the most technical of people but with Pete's guidance it was a breeze. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Pete! Ditto to this! Pete, thanks so much for your help yesterday (on the phone with my husband). We're stuck out here in the Northern New England, which is pretty much a technological void ("Free to air satellite? Huh?") and there is no way we would have been able to get any help here. You have no idea of the angst you helped to avert at our house at about 10 minutes to game time tomorrow - it would NOT have been pretty!! We are very much in your debt - many beers will be coming your way the next time we make it back to the Cities! -RGF Quote

DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 What lnb setting do we use on Galaxy 11, we can't get 17. Quote
PSB Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 What lnb setting do we use on Galaxy 11, we can't get 17. the name of the satellite at 91 Quote
siouxguyinFF Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 What's the channel labeled? I'm not seeing it with my blind scan, just get some abc news, wmur channels, and a few others. 6 total Quote
PSB Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Scans in as FSSN-UND here! I am getting signal Quality here at 73% on My TRAXIS DBS 3500 and 90cm Hot Dish if you are getting ABC news your dish is pointing at 89 Quote
sprig Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 What's the channel labeled? I'm not seeing it with my blind scan, just get some abc news, wmur channels, and a few others. 6 total You may be pointed at 89W; the channel is labeled FSSN - UND Quote
DamStrait Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I'm up and going thanks to Pete - my USALS seems to be out on my Fortec Lifetime receiver and Pete talked me through a band-aid. Since I use in only for Sioux games, the band-aid should be a cure. Quote
sprig Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I'm screwed RU fixed? I blind scanned "free tv" only and got 13 tps and 9 channels; 3 occasional use, tx1 at 12089 H 13232, a BBC feed at 12030 V 3979, as well as a couple channels with picture but no sound (and the FSSN). The FSSN is left audio only. Quote
siouxguyinFF Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I moved my satellite to 93 W and I've got it, signal is a little iffy, but I can adjust that. The real question is how did I get off on the satellites a little bit? Quote

I am still thinking about opening up an LNB factory across the street from you ENJOY the game -season! Quote

The real question is how did I get off on the satellites a little bit? Maybe wind? What kind of motor, some are REAL bad for b a c kl a s h In the USALS menu you can sometimes off-set your Longitude to compensate! Quote
OhioSiouxFan Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Ok, I blind scanned and found FSSN-UND. Says 12187 6111 V3/4. I go to the channel and it says NO SIGNAL. Pete, any ideas here bro? Quote

PSB Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Anyone seeing the game as of 6:05? Yes the signal is up but the game has not quite started yet! Now the show has started LIVE! Quote
OhioSiouxFan Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 SYMBOL RATE should be 4880 Im running the sonicview 4000. How do I manually change the symbol rate? Why would it find the UND feed, but have the symbol rate incorrect? Can't find my owners manual. Quote

Can't find my owners manual. Sorry not familiar at all with the Cronicview 4000 (Sorry could not resist) Usually there is a way to modify/add a transponder. Look for transponder Manager in the menu.

Can't find my owners manual. That seems odd. Sometimes when a frequency is reused (as in this case 12187 is reused all the time) you lose the old channel if its stored but never the new one being goofed up. Most boxes have a manual scan option. Try and edit it that way. Or add a transponder through the same way Quote

The blind scan came up identifying the FSSN channel but with the wrong symbol rate....But, game's on and I'm a very happy camper. 60 inches of Fighting Sioux excitement in my house now!!! Quote
iceberg Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 cool Its nice to see the games on BIG screens now huh? Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I did not have any signal on the 12187 frequency. I had to do a power-scan, and the FSSN finally showed up, but the frequency was 12191. Why is that? Sounds like everyone else found it on the coordinates that UND released. Quote

LNB may be starting to drift; apparently that happens as they age, tp's are scanned in a few points off of actual frequency and symbol rate. Quote
