Got into this hobby back in "85 though last 11 yrs been living in the city kept my hobby now I"m moving back to the country and to my hobby

[@NewsTimeLiveBroadcast]

I got into free satellite after I seen you on the antenna guys show. I learned alot from your videos.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

Sure glad I found this hobby! 📡📡 Before I had 3 channels with my antenna. Great video, keep saving those Shaw dishes!

[@RobbieStrike]

Thanks for watching! Are you able to get NBC and Cozi on a Shaw e60?

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@RobbieStrike With the 60e I can easily pull in the Srv 1, Srv 2, etc. Channels like NHK, news max etc., but not NBC/Cozi. I can get those as well as everything else on 103 west with the bigger 75e dish.

[@NorthcoasterHobby]

@@RobbieStrike Also, the NBC channels have a higher forward error correction (5/6). Usually those need a larger dish, whereas the Srv Mux has an FEC of 3/4, I can’t seem to miss those channels with the small Shaw dish!

[@VA3EBK]

Great channel! Just recently figured out your a local enthusiast! I’ve lived in Kingston all my life and am currently next door in Amherstview, Ontario! Been in and out of the FTA scene for 20 years or so. After seeing yours and Northcoaster’s videos I decided to get back into it with a few Shaw dishes from Kijiji and a Koqit receiver. I solely use OTA at the trailer only because the majority of the south west behind my trailer is blocked by trees that I can’t “prune” lol. But at home I’m running 97W and 125W (for the PBS feeds). Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming bud!

[@RobbieStrike]

For this area I can get a wack of channels from Wattertown and Syracuse, NY kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJWTiGZqrs97i80

[@stereoheaven11]

this is a awesome video loved it

[@RobbieStrike]

Thank you for watching, It means a lot to me!

[@CardboardGuy]

A question all Robbie Strike viewers have always wanted answered LOL!

[@hpc4uandme]

FTA Satellite is probably my cheapest hobby. All but one of my dishes were free, I've only bought LNBFs, a receiver, a vbox, disecq switch and lots of rg-6. I'm now playing with a sidecar ku lnbf on my 8.5 footer because shipping for 1.2m ku dishes is astronomical. I'm also a ham and SWL'er

[@RobbieStrike]

If your careful it can be that way. I don't have cable and the money I saved $1200 a year paid for everything I have got!

[@gman3030300]

I got into free to air satellite back in 01. Had someone that a a c-band satellite system. I remember watching the 911 wildfeeds

[@nrnoble]

This hobby is a bit of an offshoot of a shortwave listener or ham operator. The fun is setting up, maintaining the system, and finding the obscure channels that are being beamed down to earth, and then wondering what demographic or businesses actually watch them. The thing to keep in mind is that a majority of these channels aren't on any cable systems because they are fringe in quality and content, or the demographic is a very limited fringe audience. I am actually surprised that operators can even afford the cost of uplinking their signal to satellites. The hobby was really cool in the days before the internet because a lot of content that was once on satellite has moved the internet, especially now with very high-speed internet connections. Networks now can use the internet to rather uplinking\downlinking their signal.

[@SteveStoltz]

UPS just delivered my dish last night, Ill probably be watching some of your install videos soon :)

[@tracypippenger4806]

You are going to make me get back into it.i had a 10ft dish uniden sq560 and a astrotel dmt 2000 for fta early 2000s 97w was t 5 had all kinds of middle east channels desert storm was going on all kinds of unfiltered news.Al manar was a hezbollah channel crazy to watch.

[@MKEPTV]

keep up great work. i would love to see your over the air tv antenna setup to .

[@RobbieStrike]

I have one of those disk shaped antennas. It works well for this area kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJWTiGZqrs97i80

[@RobbieStrike]

125w Galaxy14 has a number of PBS channels in Ku 103w SES3 has quite a number of English TV Channels/Feeds/Music in Ku 99.2w Galaxy16 has a number of TV channels and feeds in Ku 97w Galaxy19 has a large number of TV channels in Ku Band but some are in English while most are in other languages

[@rampersadfayzal8050]

Hi I live in Trinidad and Tobago what size of dish I will need to get galaxy 19 I have a skybox f5s.

[@TechUniversity1]

Just got into the hobby from watching your videos, tried to repurpose an old DTV 36 inch dish and mounted an LNB to it but I can’t get any channels. I think my LNB might be bad. Hope I’m not doing anything wrong! But I’m excited to get it working hopefully. Even got a V8 SatFinder meter to try to lock this thing up. Not sure if it’s LNB length from center of dish. I’m so determined.

[@RobbieStrike]

Glad I could help, Try entering a transponder this way? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKvMY2OEa9qbmbc

[@TechUniversity1]

@@RobbieStrike Tried that, using GT media V7S2X and Gt media sat finder v8 have transponder 11898 selected. I even tried taking my dish to a local beach to rule out LOS issues. Still nothing. I’m using this LNB from Amazon “Dual Output KU Band LNB High Gain Universal Ku Band Twin Output Hd LNB Lnbf Two Output LNB”

[@TechUniversity1]

Also tried other transponders…

[@TechUniversity1]

Forgot to mention trying to get G-19 from glen cove Long Island

[@denverferrell5217]

Nothing on 103W where did their programing go?

[@box420]

Hey robby is there a way to use satellite TV with plex ? Like a network satellite receiver similar to the HD home run extend ?

[@RobbieStrike]

Possibly with a Edison Edision OS Mio+ 4K UHD HEVC h.265 Dual Tuner Satellite FTA STB DVB-S2X /S2 Grey ebay.us/r2bozK I use mine with Linux, Android, Windows to stream the satellite channels to any device!

[@dave1135]

Hey Robbie, the antenna guy featured you a while back, and I subscribed to your channel as you piqued my interest in satellite tv. What is the best system to have, C or QU band, as far as cost of startup equipment and maximum number of free channels?

[@RobbieStrike]

There is defiantly more channels on C band! On a large 10 foot dish!

[@FordmanHaulit3002010]

I have like 6 shaw dishes really interested in setting up a shaw dish for 97 w and 101w 95 and 99w is it possible I have a amiko in the mail can't wait to have a good one. is it easy to get the signal will the amiko find the transponders. Thanks. I also have a 1 39" dish a 34 "and 3 30s thanks.

[@RobbieStrike]

Good to hear more and more channels are now cumming back on KU band, YOu would like getting a diseqc switch kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIfYaaSIZsyjiKM

[@FordmanHaulit3002010]

@@RobbieStrike yes thanks for the info on the fence is where it will have to go. I have a subscription to directv but I found so many free satellites this year I wanna set up some FTA I bought couple cheap to.

[@armen_babakhanyan]

Hello my friend.how antennas sattelite you have gigant😀😀😀😀

[@Healitnow]

Robbie what would happen if you used a 12 or 16 foot dish for KU band or other bands, instead of using the smaller ones. Would it improve range and reception on those channels?

[@RobbieStrike]

I Find i get excellent signal on my 4 foot dish, I did have a C ku band LNB but find the off set dish works better for KU band kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYPSiZWBjMd_gbM

[@kgray041983]

which one is better ku or c band? iam from the Caribbean, Tobago there are hardly any fta English channels you people are lucky

[@RobbieStrike]

C band

[@kgray041983]

@@RobbieStrike if you were in the western part of the Caribbean the south west exactly how would you proceed in getting fta channels in y region

[@HarpsGames]

Can this be used with the GTmedia KU band satellite internet modem?

[@RobbieStrike]

They make Satellite Receivers but I dont know what model your talking about!

[@marksandquist4275]

sounds like red green at the end haha

[@veulmet]

Too bad radio shack is dead. If they would have stayed somewhat true to their roots they'd be going gangbusters with people wanting to get into this or similar "techy" related interests outside the norm although ever so slightly outside.

[@Gintokikreuz1]

I think "free satellite TV" is more confusing makes it seems like someone figured out to get free direct TV.

[@RobbieStrike]

WHY?

[@Gintokikreuz1]

@@RobbieStrike Well I can see how it's not as confusing to you. In the sense it better explain what it is by it's name, unlike fta. But the way I stumbled into FTA aka Free Satellite TV is by looking for pirated direct TV and dish by searching Free Satellite TV. Fortunately I'm glad I did stumbled into cuz it's very interesting.
