With the new channels on A2, I finally got around to
attempting to bring in the horizontally polarized channels - but I
can't get a lock in spite of leaving tuner on channel for two hours.
Get all the vertically polarized channels. I can get a lock on the
horizontals using 6,7,7,8 and retuning about 4Mhz off, but as discussed
in other recent threads, this doesn't bring in a picture. Any sugeestion
would be appreciated. thanks, tom |

Where are you located? Most of the H-pol channels are
on east beams of A2. Here in Oregon, I don't get a lock on any of
the East beam stuff. I presume the folks in the east don't get the
west beams, either. I also presume the folks in the midwest get both
east and west beams.

Ah-Ha, so that's why here in Friday Harbor WA the
horizontals are so weak. I think there is some signal there, never-the-less.
Does anyone in the Northwest receive a horizontally polarized picture
from A2? tom |

Tweak and ye shall find:
tom asked - "Does anyone in the Northwest receive a horizontally polarized picture from A2?" and the same tom replies: You betcha - I get a bunch, but only 401 and 800 are presently unscrambled. Advice: Try a strange skew setting. tom |

There shall be tweaking tonite, I guess . . . .
Before all the digitalizing, my Uniden used to get occasional watchable signals on some of those east-beam KU channels. Guess I need to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion. al |

For some reason, out here in the east, I loose the
horizontal channels from time to time as well. Then I flip polaities
and can get all the vertical stuff. I thought it was the sun outages,
but this would happen at 10 PM at night. I thought it was my feedhorn
or LNB, but the mystery still remains.
Could it be that with Anik E2's many failures over the years, that they could have been damaged? Jeff |
