And there's also IR95 from Gilles Kohl. IR95 is postcard-ware. I've just

And the biggest advantage of using the 48 instead of the 95 for a remote
is that the 48 has a clock and can wake up at a programmed time to do
things for you. For instance, I've just completed an alarm program for the
48 that turns my stereo on for me in the morning. I've even got it so that 
it selects different channels for me on the weekends. Can't do that with 
the 95; at least, not straight out of the box.

Subject:      Re: Snow

Nobody gets more snow than Marquette Michigan.  With my dish up 17.5 feet in
the air, I have found the "Point it West, Young Man" method works the best
for me.  However there are usually two or three snows that are so bad that I
lose a good bit of reception, requiring sending a teen ager up on the roof
with a broom.  I have lost ALL C band reception due to snow so I can vouch
for its effects.  During snow times, I park it on C1/02 and listen to the FOR
THE PEOPLE NETWORK.  If it fades out, I know I have a problem with snow build
up.

I saw a gizmo on Satellite Market USA that intrigued me.  It is called
"Avalanche", and don't you want to know how it works?

Avalanche is a device that bolts to your dish, and has a small DC motor with
an eccentric cam mounted on the shaft, and a control box/power supply inside
your home.  See some snow on the dish?  Flip on the AVALANCHE, and it SHAKES
THE SNOW OFF THE DISH by vibrating.  You can adjust it to find a resonant
point.  Supposedly this does not shake any fittings lose or anything.

Cost?

$300+.

Not bad for about $12 worth of stuff.

I would imagine someone who is the LEAST BIT handy could build one of these
things.

When Request TV 1 and 2 moved over to C4, they had a flag on the screen that

Rig an external switch, or use an unused connection, such as tape monitor.

Describe more fully "Fail to be received"  Screen black?  White?  Lines?
Noise?  Pulses?  Hiss as if no signal present, or muted.  Blue screen?  Data
insufficient to process problem.

If noise and pulses, then TI.  If black screen, receiver at fault.  If red

You need the best you can get, 25 degree being state of the art for C band.
If you have a 40 or so (that is what I consider "nothing special") that will
explain your noisy audio on KLON.

I pretty sure Request TV is doing to open up to the satellite dish
owners soon.  Reason, I friend of mine in the states, just sent me a
Request 1 TV Guide for the rest of December, He got it from a cable
company.  And that company company in his area, would not let it out,
until now.

anyways, Viewers Choice is making money, that are now in CANADA.  On
Dec 27, the Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers (HOCKEY) will be on PPV,
this will be the first game ever from the NHL on PPV.  And I know its
going to do well.

To all: I would order this one, it is going to be fun, alot of fights!!

1) I posted a msg months ago about the fate of the Sportschannels on F4R.

Roughly half of those SportsChannel affiliates are going to C1 and the
other half to F2R.

2) Reason I think cable services are clumping together to the west:
Put all the cable birds there so cable co's have an easier time
receiving all of them.  I know it can be received via "rectangular"
dish when they were spread out, but I think clumping the satellites
together makes it better.  Since the west is historically "cable TV
city", that must be the basis for putting replacement sats (F4R, for
example) to the west.

I don't think snow makes much difference in the tracking of a dish (I
own a solid fiberglass 10 footer and snow doesn't affect the tracking
of my dish).  Considering mesh dishes are somewhat weaker than
solid dishes, snow might affect tracking slightly.

The problem I find is the snow piles up and drastically changes the
focal point of the microwaves.  What is the focal point on a no-snow-filled
dish is perfect for the way I have my feedhorn set up.  When snow comes,
the focal point shifts and the feedhorn only works a fraction as well as it
does when there is no snow in my dish.  When the focal point is changed
so much that it affects my reception, I brush the snow out of it.

You get to name the category and the winner.  You can use "Best ..."

Anyway, from several replies to my last post, itt seemms pretty clear

went to rolling-slate last night (about 23.00 PST), the audio went
to the German-language service. BUT, the 7.5 (+/-) subcarrier

Well, my domicile sits right on the 75W longitude line, and the only
western bird I have trouble with is F1.  SInce the only thing I watch on it
is the NBC feed on Tr.8, that is no great loss.  C4 BOOMS in; as a matter
of fact, everything from G5 through C4 excepting F1R have solid signals

I'm thankful that the new birds have the power they do, otherwise I'd be in
dire straits myself.  Near as I can figure, F1 is 9 degrees above the
horizon here, which means I catch quite a bit of background noise from the
ground presentation sidelobe.  Try repeaking the dish focal length; worked
for me!

well, if you have a cable box with a chip, that covers all the methods
of decoding, and its bullet proof, you will not get turned off.  the
bullet is real.

The reason people get caught is because the cable company will play a
movie and offer a free T-shirt to any that calls in, and well, some
people are not smart (like in NY) and they called in, the person wrote
down the callers information, and they checked the computers and found
some that are subscribing and some that are not.  BUSTED!
