Ok here it goes. I have done all the above... I have a
BIRDOG. It works great. I have installed
DTV single through triple lnb dishes with great sucess. I have sucessfuly locked on to dish 110,119. Expresvu with the
BIRDOG all showing max in both signal and quality... For the life of me I
can not bring in
TELSTAR 5 well let put it this way the BIRDOG never says
found but has high signal stergnth when trying to get Telstar5 I have input the transponders sometimes I get 10 chanels ethnic Arab, Assyrian etc.
just 10 chanels. so I go back to trying to dial it in again and I lose the chanels and get another set sometimes not the FTA chanels, chanels that
are scrambled. then I do it again and the ethnic chanels come back but some that where there before are not. there should be at least 60 FTA on
telstar 5. WHAT am I doing wrong. I have fifteen orders for ethnic programing and I do not have my **it together on this.
ALSO DISHNETWORK ethnic programing 61,121,148 I can not dial these in.. I live in the central valley of northern cal. clear view of southern sky.
I have a wiengard 30" , toroidal
t55, and 18's and 24" dish. I have been using standard lnbs. I have tried them all, they work fine. But for getting the TELstar5 and DISHNET ethnics I am at a loss....
Please any help would be greatly appricated ..ARAM
