sprig Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Aren't hockey road game telecasts usually kind of a last minute decision? At least it seems like it in most cases. Yes, that's usually the case, except for last year's early season trip to Anchorage, which was on the TV schedule when it came out. Quote
Blackheart Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Curious to see if fssn will remain on the same satellite coordinates as last year. For the most part the signal was very weak compared to prior years. Quote

PSB Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Apparently not. From the REA website: 2011-2012 FSSN SAT INFO AMC-3 Digital - 87.0° W K20 - 9 MHz Ku Band - Downlink Frequency: 12095 V L Band - Downlink Frequency: 1345 V Symbol Rate 4.88 FEC 3/4 PMT 480 Video 481 Audio 484 (Primary L&R) Receiver Audio Info Left Channel - Mono Program Audio Right Channel - Cue tones ONLY Markets with WDAZ 102* - ON Markets with WDAZ 102# - OFF Markets without WDAZ 063* - ON Markets without WDAZ 063# - OFF FSSN is NOT available on DirecTv or Dish Network. Thanks Sparky! This can only be good news for Fans with a Free to Air System after last years issues. There are some REALLY strong transponders on 87w to aim your dish like..... 11716 / H / 4850 76% quality on a TRAXIS DBS 3500 There are around 18 channels FTA on this satellite 24/7 so with any luck this will be a GREAT year for FTA satellite signal. As usual anyone need any help drop me an e-mail : ) Quote
bincitysioux Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Agreed. I like the move to AMC3.......................... Quote
Blackheart Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Finding 87 degrees by manually adjusting my dish was not too bad today. PSB was very helpful as usual and his tips for fine tuning once I found 87 gave me another 6-7 percent quality on several of the channels. Can't wait to see what kind of quality we get on the broadcasts this year. Thanks again Pete! Quote

Snake Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I had trouble getting the FTA signal last year, so I'm glad to hear they've changed satellites. I'm definitely looking forward to the higher quality raw FTA feed once again, but will have my DirecTV as a back-up plan. Sounds like it'll be a good weekend to get dialed in ...errrr....motor over to 87W! Quote

And remember NO ONE beats the picture quality of FTA satellite : ) Its 1st generation, uncompressed, and just under HD quality! Looking forward to a GREAT season : ) Quote
