61.5 to 148 on one dish?

tommyoz · #1 (**permalink**) 07-27-2006, 02:07 PM

Hi guys this is my first post and I looked around first but couldn't find my answers. Forgive me for the newbie question.

I have a Fortec FC-90 (36") dish hooked up to a HH100 motor. Is it possible to zero in on 61.5 or 148 satellites? are these satellites not on the Arch? I have 82 all the way to 129 with no problem all satellites in between with a great signal and quality.

If not how can I achieve these satellites? I am from the east coast in NJ.

Thanks

You don't need to watch 148, it shows the same stuff (duplicating) as 61.5, namely:
channel 580, where you learn how to use Remote Control.
Did u read the rules of this forum?

61.5 should be able to get but 148 may be out of the motors range nothing on these sat's fta anyway.

Thanks for your replies guys. I'm sorry if I missed something. Did I go against forum rules?

it just that these are dish network sats nothing free to air unless somebody is hacking and this is a non hack site so everbody here is cautious on answering any questions on these type of sats.

Ok, that's understandable. I did know that this is not a hack site. The reason for my question was, I know people have had trouble when getting a subscription with dish network. The 2 Satellites are always in question. I thought if I could get them on one satellite I wouldn't have to worry about it.

I was only referring to 82 through 129 in regards to signal and quality strength. I didn't say anything about hacking.

Charlie Chats and Tech Forums .. and expecially that nice looking lady walking all over that gigantic bill - are actually pretty entertaining "watch"

yeah seeing that every 15 minutes can get boring

or the "tech" dude that has I think a 508 and when the signal goes out in his segment the screen that comes up looks like my old 5000 (the green screen)
