I'm trying to get 'back in the game' with a newly erected 7.5'
mesh dish. I'm trying to find a satellite to attempt adjusting the
dish. I can barely get a channel that looks like the jewelery shopping
network. Can anyone tell me what sat this is? Since I don't have a
subscription yet, can someone advise a free channel I can locate to
begin setting dish limits etc.? TIA.

There is a Jewelry Channel analog and ITC on Galaxy 23 at 121 west, tr
21, 4080 mhz. Depending on where you are in the country that would be a
good spot to get the focal point of your feedhorn and your skew set
properly.

Hope that helps.

Take care,
Rich

Even though he's dead it makes about much sense
to vote for him as it does for the choices
that we have who are living. At least he's not
going change his position on anything.

Use G1-05 the ARTS channel. After that go to G1-03 and get a digital lock.
If you have a 920, power off and then unplug for a few minutes then plug in
and leave it off for an hour to download the maps. If you have a 922 just
leave it on G1-03 for an hour to get the maps. Note the maps are not the
same as the IPG.
