iceberg Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I posted this in an other thread and I'll post it again...you can take it for what its worth (I know 2 people won't because they think they know more) The FSSN figures as long as the cable companies dont complain about a bad signal and FCS doesn't complain they wont do anything...remember we are just observers. Also keep in mind **most** of these companies getting the signal is probably using a larger (1.2m or larger) dish.....Midco gets a direct feed. 36" dish worked fine the whole game....50 quality with few drops to 45 on the GeoSatPro (35 is threshold) on the 6 footer with KU LNB on it a nice solid 65-67 on the Pansat1500 (30 is threshold) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I have his number in the control room, I will be giving him a call tonight........ just to let him know that the signal is well below par : ( unless you're a cable company or FCS calling betcha they wont do anything. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceberg Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I'm not misleading anyone. You must be confused. The cable companies and satco's are the ones who need the signal. We are just observers. If we have an issue with a weaker signal all we can do is complain on the board. If a cable company or FCS has an issue then the FSSN would listen because they are using optimum equipment. As I mentioned before they are probably using a 1.2m or greater dish. (probably 6 footer) If we were the intended audience then all the sports feeds would be in the clear and at great signals...and we all know how that's working out this year 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSB Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 unless you're a cable company or FCS calling betcha they wont do anything. Maybe not but I was ASKED by Jamie to give him a call, and being a man of my word I will. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatSiouxNation Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I couldn't even scan in the Football game today. Hopefully a call from Pete might get us a better signal. Maybe those "cold" nights will help the signal later in the year also. Thanks again Pete for helping all of us in FTA Land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS - Your welcome , although just like the above member I could see the game last night with no problems it gives me no 'pleasure' knowing my PALS are struggling with low bouncing signal quality. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well the signal is up; not great but so far so good...I got 36% right now; I'm going to try a little tweak to see if I can gain a point or two... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 what size dish? 18" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 18" just kidding...it's 30"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 if it was an 18" then that would be the issue I know on my 30" the signal is weaker but still very stable. On the Coolsat 5000 threshold is around 63-65 and the signal bounced between 67 & 69 so right above threshold Like I say the 36" I dont have issue with. This is the one I use 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
