OETA on K5/600-Can get on 4DTV?

[Radioguy41]

Is it possible to receive OETA on K5/T600 with 4DTV? I'm having exactly the same problem that I'm having with T4/600 (Nebraska NET). The signal won't lock. I understand ACC did not map T4 correctly but is that the same issue with K5?

working fine here on the 905...ya gotta let it sit there for a little bit. Mine takes 10 seconds to pop in for some reason but its there

Great. Thanks.

Well I spent an hour trying to get it tuned in with no success. It's possible I'm just not at the right spot but at 9 clicks per degree everything else is right on the money so I just don't know. What's the nearest bird with an active transponder that I could test with? I can get Doc Scott on W3, anything closer?

 

[Mr Tony]

oof...not that I know of

Oh well, guess I'll have to file it in the "Twilight Zone" drawer for now.

 

[Mr Tony]

you dont have a DVB box too for the other free to air stuff up there?

 

[Radioguy41]

Not yet, but soon!

 

[Mr Tony]

man ya gotta get one...With a C/KU setup there are TONS of free channels up there with a DVB box

when you get one, make sure it has blind scan (smart scan, power scan)...

OK, finally found the bird. I can't lock the signal but that's probably a dish alignment issue. It keeps coming and going. Gotta work on that. Thanks for the help.
