Is there enough programming on Ku band to justify having a Ku only system.

I need some assistance from anyone.

I recently moved from the Dallas area to Northern Ohio (just
west of Cleveland).  I had a 10' dish in Dallas with a full
southern exposure.

Unfortunately I was not as lucky in my new house.  The backyard
has northern exposure.  What size dish do I need in Northern
Ohio and what degree above the horizon must it point.  I'm
afraid that I might not be able to put a satelite on the 
ground and get it pointing over the house.

Also I can't mount it on the roof because of city codes not
allowing anything on garage roofs over 15' tall...

All help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hello all,
A short question for the sat guru's ...

I am at about 48 deg N and 52 deg W .  Of all the available satellites 
which ones can I not get...  To phrase the question a little better...
I am thinking of getting into this TVRO sat stuff however at my location (
the next place east is England) I think I will require a larger dish and 
may not be able to get certain sats.  Can any one enlighten me?

How big dish would I need (C and Ku)?
What good sats are on or below my horizon?
Thanks.

I am about to enter into the wide world of Satellite TV.
I have been reading this newsgroup for a few weeks, and

features available in Receivers and other Sat components.

What I don't know is WHAT I WANT!

If anyone is interested in responding, I would like to hear

   a) favorite receiver features, 
   b) features you could live without, 
   c) favorite manufacturers or units (or the pits), 
   d) if solid, perf or mesh dishes are really different,
   e) are low degree LNB's worth paying more ...
   f) is VCII+ ok, or is VC RS a must for new systems
   g) what is 'automatic peeking', and is it important
   h) if a receiver does not have 'stereo sub carrier tuning', can
      it still receive and output a stereo signal?

.. or any other info you care to share about the sat gear
you have experienced.  Please include the reasons *why* you
feel as you do about these things!

(Perhaps answers to specific questions should be EMAILED, and I'll post

Hi Vijay,

I saw your message on rec.video.satellite about Homesat.  I recently
purchased a 3 ft. KU dish and Uniden 2300 receiver from Pro Brand
International (I think the Uniden is 2300).  We are interested in receiving
French Language programing from E2.  We basically get 3 stations--2
good to excellent and one rather sparkley, but when it rains, reception
generally degrades.  I gather from my on-line reading that I could improve
reception by upgrading my LNB.  Do you have any recommendations.  BTW, I
live in Milwaukee Wis.

I can't vouch for last week but all this week the BBC 9PM news has been

news feeds from Australian reporters in Europe. Last night it was further
followed by a long interview with Barry Humphries who is a well known

The actual transponder seems to vary.  I don't know the actual

Paramount has signed a new contract with it's uplinkers (Keystone). In
the very near future, all Paramount feeds, including STTNG and STDSN
will move from Telstar 301 to Telstar 302, channel still uncertain. In
1993, they will move again to the new bird Telstar 401 (May 1993
launch). So.....if STTNG disappears from T301, move over to 85 degrees
west to Telstar 302.

I thought your last posting said it was F R E E.

I can't see how you could maintain the service at no cost
to your listeners if you had to pay for transponder time.

Which is it?

 As I mentioned in a post the other day, the ABC Cowboys/Eagles
 MNF game was backhauled on G1/14.  I have seen ABC use that
 channel once earlier this year for a College Football PPV game
 backhaul (it was the Houston Cougars vs. some other team).
 
 I was just about to give up last night when I looked in the normal ABC
 backhual places.  I had this feeling that they were using VYVX or
 microwave link.  I don't know what I was trying to do, but somehow
 I ended up on G1 and I found the ABC backhaul.

Think of who is advertising... these are the guys who are normally late
night (3am) ads with the infomercials... they're buying *cheap* ad time.

Since SCI-FI is brand new, they can't justify high ad rates yet since
they have no proof of viewership.  So they attract these fly-by-night
900 number operations because of the low rates.

As soon as they have some numbers and can justify raising their ad rates
(which of course, they *want* to do) then the quality of ad should get 
better (assuming their marketing group can sell ads to better places).

We had a new independent station start up here a few years back and
the first few months of it was *full* of this stuff... now it's only
late at night.  Seems to be the evolutionary cycle of the beast.

They are pretty disgusting, though, aren't they?  Makes me want to
go out and get my own 900 number!

FROM THE SATSHACK DESK OF ROBERT SMATHERS:

Galaxy 5 is now completely filled up with the signing of Playboy
At Night.  Playboy at Night recently signed the agreement with
Hughes Communications for the last remaining transponder on G5.
If my memory serves me right, that transponder would be transponder 2.
As dishowners know, GE Americom's Satcom F4R is about to be retired
the end of this year or somewhere around the first quarter of 1993.  
That is the timeperiod we are looking at in the moving of Playboy from
F4R to G5.  

GE Americom put out a status report last week.  They announced that
their next generation cable birds -- Satcom C4 and Satcom C3 -- have
successfully arrived in their orbital slots and have checked out fine.
Satcom C4 is located at 135 degrees west and Satcom C3 is located
at 131 degrees west.  I am still watching in anticipation of C4 being 
lit up.  Satcom C3 should be lit up in a "seamless" replacement of
Satcom F1R.  I have yet to hear "light up" dates for C4 and C3.

This weekend I finally got around to tweaking my system. I have never been
totally pleased with my Ku reception and had the installer out to check into
it last spring. He said that was the best that I was going to get. Well, a
major honey do list kept me from getting to this until now. I went out there
and checked feedhorn centering and focal length. Both were off so I set them
to the manufacturers specs. I then went in check the picture on Ku and the
sparklies I get on the Canadian birds were reduced significantly on most of
the transponders though some are still pretty bad. SBS-6 and K2 are fantastic
as well as the CNN Airport and Checkout channels. So I'm pleased with the 
results. Before this tune up Ku and C band satellites located at the same
longitude ie, SBS6 and G6, had optimum signal at slightly different points
which I couldn't understand. The fact that the focal length was at 33 9/16
rather than 33 5/16 and the feedhorn wasn't centered properly with the quad
support seems to account for that. I also greased the gear and chain of the
Ajak 180 horizon to horizon mount. Standing on a ladder 10 feet up, taking
off the cover and finding the beginnings of a wasp condo with a couple of 
dozen residents still home was a bit of a surprize. I could never understand 
why people would want to become beekeepers.

I am one of the people suffering under the tyranny of a crappy-quality
cable system. I would consider buying a satellite dish, but I live in
an apartment and my landlord didn't think much of the idea.

I collect Simpsons episodes and have a bad copy of every episode, but I
recently got fed up with having bad copies of everything. So, here I go
with desperation:

1) I will offer $$$$ to anyone willing to tape future Simpsons episodes
   for me, provided they are satellite-quality recordings (SVHS or
   I could even live with good VHS SP) and the episodes are complete
   (opening and closing credits, every frame of animation). Someone
   who records from satellite would be ideal on both counts.

2) I also offer $$$$ for old Simpsons episodes under the same conditions
   as above.

$$$$ are negotiable. The same offers are also made for The Young Indiana
Jones Chronicles, future and past episodes. Anyone who wants to discuss
arrangements (remember, I am desperate) please send me e-mail. Thanks!

Harold, you can add C band pretty cheaply to a KU system, and you don't need
a big dish for audio like LTR.  We are happy with our uplinker, and KU is not
being considered at this time.  There are not nearly as many full time
services on KU, so there is no competitive rate structure.  We have a very
good monthly rate on the transponder we now use.

I think you should look at adding a C band LNB to whatever system you buy.
You will certainly get G5 and a lot of other satellites just fine with a 4
foot dish.

FRENCH ONE   is a french language course, LEVEL ONE.  That particular channel
is a University of Virginia college course channel.

However I have seen TF1   You can pick it up on SCOLA, and also It shows up
on ANIK.  In NTSC in both cases.  There are a number of french language
channels, including TV-5.

Ed,

I really can't see that your concern is relevant.  If the satellite
technology pays for itself in a short period of time, then you win.
Period.  If the economics change in the future, you change with them and
you are STILL ahead of the game.

My analysis of my costs indicates that the satellite solution pays for
itself in about 5 months.  Unless SDI goes crazy and attacks all of the
orbiting communications gear between now and then, I'm going to be ahead
of the game reasonably quickly.
