DIEHARD SIOUX FAN Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We haven't been able to get our satellite to come in this year either, we do get FCS but it always came in so much better on satellite, and won't get the game tonight.

PSB Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 it is still on 91w correct? I'm not even seeing a tp scan choice for 12065?? 12065 yep, 91w Do an Auto scan (blind Scan) or enter (or edit) a new transponder. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 working fine still...nice and strong 68-69 but using the C-Band feed....much cleaner...oh and 90 on that 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yababy8 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 12065 yep, 91w Do an Auto scan (blind Scan) or enter (or edit) a new transponder. yas it says im on galaxy 11 91w Im showing two FSSN channels from my autoscan. One should be from last year but niether is 12065. one is 12187 and the other is 12024 and each of these are showing no signal. I''ll go enter the 12065 4870 manually and see what i get but im guessing if my auto scan doesn't get it I'm having the same signal problem as others, I am in Denver... also does your channel guide say FSSN or just occasional???

dallassiouxfan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am having trouble down here in Texas as well. I did a blind scan and had no luck. On a couple of the ABC stations I only have 50% quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The ABC channels (ABCNewsNow etc) are on 89W next door 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yababy8 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 PSB, Could it be that those of us having trouble are just a bit over or under the arch and this transponder is just a little more touchy than others? I ask because im tempted to go out to my dish and just give it a little tilt up and down when tuned to this transponder. Right now im getting zero on 12065 4870. 10% = nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_hockeynut Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I was getting a low signal on the FSSN feed (not for the regular channels on 91w), and found 1 click west (I have a motorized system) and my signal jumped to 60% for FSSN.

Jakenine also a member on the Satelliteplus.US forum asked if there is ANYTHING he can do to get enough signal to watch the game. He has tried peaking his fixed dish but with no joy. I told him we were at the end of the road here, garbage (signal) in Garbage out............. but then I remebered this thread from a German member we have on the forum. he had similar issiues with a transponder that he dearly wanted to get...... so he made himself a cardboard feedhorn, and it worked! I will give it a try later today if i get the time but here is a link on how to make one : ) http://visionplus.us/smf/index.php?topic=6418.0 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothsiouxfan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Peter, Thanks for your help and the video you posted. I live in Lakeville and have gotten very strong FSSN signals for 4 years until yesterday. Very poor signal last night. 10%. I'll be checking back here later today for further suggestions. Thanks.

I am in the process of making a cardboard feed-horn, and I will test it on some weak signals, then the game at 4pm if it works I envision a new career in origami : ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSB Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 OK with just over 2 hours to go before game time I made a cardboard feed-horn I DID see better signals on weak feeds, enough to make the difference between getting a picture and not getting a picture. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, this will not work if you get no signal at all, but will help only if your picture is breaking up. And of course your results may vary.
