DJ needs his Music

[DJLS]

Well Sat dish is up, I do max out on my southern most sat AMC5,
and on tel5 I get the live TP's . After searching 20 sat's it returned 220 TV and 19 Radio Out of the 220 TV 200 are S 20 are F, 4 Chinese, 3 edu. The 19 Radio, 1 works and its a radio station. Did I do something wrong?? I do understand that I have a FTA receiver - 786V3. On Lyngsat US has a many FTA Channels, I dont get it :shock:

All I wanted was MUSIC and more MUSIC. Not getting it :cry:


Any HELP would be Appreciated BIG TIME !!!

A bit confuse here. You said your dish aims at AMC5, then you mentioned about T5. Which sat your dish aims at?
For music, you might consider putting up a DirectTV or DishNEtwork dish, aim it at Echostar7 at 119W, all the music channels are FTA.

Not every channel listed as FREE TV or FREE RADIO on lyngsat is available in North America. Only the satellites covering our area will be picked up by the receiver. Even then, not everything listed as FREE is in DVB format, and that is the only format that the Fortec (and most other consumer FTA receivers) will work with.

Oh, I just mentioned that I did have good readings on my southern most SAT. AMC5. and that I pickup tel5 live tp's just fine. I will point to sat you gave me as we chat.

Note: you need to use a circular lnbf (any directTV or DishNetwork lnbf will work) for Echostar7. Use the LOF 11250 for circular signal.

Thanks for the quick response Mods !!! Dtsexpert, I just took down direct. tv. dish and put up a 31 fortec. with a motor

Seems like I should read more, just went to G10 and there is 1 station
can this be?

[dtsexpert]

Since you have a motorized dish, you actually don't need to up a directv one for circular signal. You can tie the circular lnbf next to the linear one on your motorized dish, then use a Diseqc 2 or 4 ways to switch between the 2 lnbfs. If your dish tracks to arc fine, you will get lock on all the circular sats (DishNetwork/BellVu) as well.
