Great Resource to calculate the Azimuth and Elevation for the Satellite Dish in Your Town,

To find the Azimuth and Elevation for your dish:

  1. Select the required satellite in the “satellite” table.
  2. Select your location in the “location” table and click on “calculate look angle”.

If the satellite you are looking for is not located in the “satellite” table, simply enter its location in the “longitude” field. 
If the location you are looking for is not located in the “location” table, simply enter its location in the “n lat” and “w long” table.

  • The azimuth reading you will get is geographic, to which you must apply magnetic deviation.

What is (FTA) Free To Air

October 30, 2008

Free-to-air (FTA) television (TV) and radio broadcasts are sent unencrypted and may be received via any suitable receiver:

Free-to-view (FTV) is, generally, available without subscription but is digitally encoded and may be restricted geographically. Neither of these is pay-TV, which is an encrypted subscription (or pay-per-view) service.

FTA is sometimes delivered by satellite television, but in various parts of the world free-to-air television channels are broadcast unencrypted on UHF or VHF bands.

Although these channels are described as free, in some cases the viewer does in fact pay for them. Some are paid directly by payment of a licence fee (as in the case of the BBC) or voluntary donation (in the case of educational broadcasters like PBS), others indirectly by paying for consumer products and services where part of the cost goes toward televisionadvertising and sponsorship (in the case of Japanese television broadcasters like TV Asahi and TV Tokyo which relies on sponsorship heavily). One further variation is in Canada, where theCBC Television/Télévision de Radio-Canada network is partly funded by taxpayer dollars, and otherwise supports itself with commercial advertising revenues as it competes with other freeover-the-air commercial networks. more

This youtube video made it really simple to install 8psk, unfortunately right now none of viewsat HD Receivers come with 8psk preinstalled, not even in new Max HD, here is how you can install it fairly easily.
