I know that the (BUD type) satellites transmit in both Horizontal and Vertical, but am unsure about the FTA stuff. Is FTA some sort of circular polarity, or what? Thanks. |
In addition to what Rainman said, you have to realize that there is less and less analog programming on Ku any more, which is probably why you didn't see anything. Look at the recent thread in the 4dtv-c-band forum, called "identify this channel" or something like that. Someone was doing what you describe, but wasn't seeing anything, mainly because the analog signals were coming and going, and would be gone before he tried to tune them in, but he finally found one. Pretty much all the analog Ku is "occasional video" that doesn't last long. Ie like a football game or on site news feed or something.
