I want to watch movies and soccer on the Ku band.<br />Im curently on PAS8 and I have another disk(ku band LNBF)<br /><br />Any suggestions to what other satellite would be good value for FTA??<br /><br />Please advise>>>:>

Depending on your location, you can catch only a few Ku birds. Anyway in Australia you don't have a big choice. You already have PAS-8, so the choice is between B-3 and NSS-6 (if you're in Perth, elsewhere you need to be very lucky to lock NSS-6) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

Im in Melbourne, What sort of programs does NSS-6 / Optue B3 have (FTA)??<br /><br />Everything seems to be encrypted!:<<br />Is there a web site that lists similar info... for Ku and me?<br />Cheers..

Don't bother with NSS6 there is stuffall on it<br /><br />Optus B3 check here <br />http://www.lyngsat.com/optusb3.html<br /><br />The ones that have a <img src="http://www.lyngsat.com/f.gif" alt=" - " /> next to the channel names means its FTA

Thanks Guys for your advice:<br /><br />Tommorow I'll try Optus B3.<br />By the way...Are Pink and PinkPlus encryted??<br /><br />Lyng lists the as FTA?? Please confirm..Ta<br /><br />NSS6 looks too low on the horizon!<br />Cheers..

When was the last time u checked lyngsat as he has had them ( Pink etc ) listed as encrypted for a few days now<br /><br />And they have been encrypted since the 26th-27th of last month

Thanks Lazersat:<br /><br />Could you tell me if the beam (signal) from NSS6<br />strong enough for a 75cm disk...Thats the best position for the LNB (O'clock looking @ from front).?<br />Oh...The same question for B3...? Im still on my L-Plates<br /><br />Thanks...DR

I'm in Melbourne with a 65cm dish pointed at Pas8 getting Zee TV and Chile TV.<br /><br />Whats the deal with B3? I have a FTA receiver but can't get anything on B3. I can get Expo on C1 but B3 remains a mystery. Last year B3 was working fine but my FTA receiver no longer gets any channels on B3.

Do you move the LNB around to about 6-5 oclock to get B3 as if u dont do this you wont get it cause the LNB position of it is different to PAS8

It's a universal LNB, it's in the same position it's always been in and it used to work ok.

Would work better if the LNB was on the right position if u adjust the lnb around abit<br />im sure u will find B3 alot easier
