Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2847 Registered: Oct-05 | If that was the case DN would be going home to home changing all the HD subscriptions to 118.8 where the application is set for 61.5. Not to mention ALL customers in the Carribean are receiving their HD programing from 61.5. It is not cost effective to go home by home to realing a dish in order to continue to provide to subscribers their HD programing. So the bottom line is, this sat will continue to carry it's same programing while new subscribers will more then likely be set to 118.8 in order to use a one dish application. Com'on guys, this is common sence! |

Silver Member Username: One_eye_jackPost Number: 408 Registered: Nov-07 | PRFRMNJ, I always knew that you was close by. As you can now see,  you old friend is the man now. Are you still at FTABins.NET :: The Greatest FTA Community on the NET! As you already know, some people here talk just to be talking. Echo 3 @ 61.5.o*W was Launched in 1997, Expected Lifetime is (13) years. Will run out of Fuel around 2010, I would think this is the main reason for these changes. Also expect the same for Echo 1/2 @ 148.0W. Nimiq 1 @ 91.0*W Expected Lifetime is (12) years should pop out from the belt around 2011. Just like people, getting old and running out of gas, new Birds are getting ready to take their place, life goes on. Nimiq 4 is scheduled to be launched early this year. And will provide advanced services such as high-definition television, specialty channels and foreign language programming. BTW NJ have you learn how to fish?  |

Bronze Member Username: BluegillbillPost Number: 29 Registered: Sep-06 | could someone tell me how to scan in 61.5 |
|
Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 8317 Registered: Jun-06 | Normally you would need a 18-20" dish pointing to 61.5. You will need to calculate based on your location. An angle finder is a great help. [link removed] Then you do antenna setup in your receiver and do a blind scan. In order to combine the current LNB with the new one, you may need a DisEqC switch. |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2849 Registered: Oct-05 | King - I always pop in from time to time. Yukon - I'm still at Back to the subject on hand - This bird will be refuled just like everything else in life. Now word I have is that they will be launching a new bird for the caribbean which may very well carry all HD programing for the east coast. I'd have to look at my communications to find that, but it is the future for the caribbean and will not require the extremely large dishes to get the signals in as it will also carry the 110 & 119 programing. |
