KUIL-LP on 101W??

[NCSky]

I see a listing for KUIL-LP Fox in Texas AMC 2/4 & DirecTV 4S/8 at 101.0°W - LyngSat, but cannot seem to get it to come up on my receiver (MercuryII) Is this because it is listed as DVB? I thought DVB was handled by these receivers.

Yes I am new here, but if you folks could be kind to a newbie, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

KUIL Beaumont Texas - it is there and it is DVB and it is free; but it's hard to pull in. You must have your dish aimed bang on. Most receivers do not have this transponder pre-programmed -- you must enter it manually and run a transponder scan.

Awesome. Thank you sir. Guess I will be programming that little bugger in. Bet there are a bunch of others out there I am missing too.

With the Mercury II you can just do a powerscan that will hunt for transponders and channels for you. If you don't get it then perhaps your aim is off. I was watching it before Ike and they were doing a lot of hurricane coverage. Then during Ike I looked for it and it was off. I haven't seen it since, but I don't know if it is back on the air yet...

Interesting. I thought I had a pretty good aim. The rest of the channels were doing OK. I will try again and re scan.

While I was on 101, I had ESPNews. Then I did a re scan and it was scrambled. Huh???

KUIL is still there - I was watching it a few days ago, but all they seem to show is reruns of Judge Judy - yuck...

Thing about this channel is you must let your receiver lock onto it for a few seconds - power scan receivers seem to miss it first time around. You are better off manually scanning for it.
