Some more musings: unused Hughesnet dishes are 'aplenty in my area, stopped by near my Dads at a house w/ one on a tripod mount (w/o LNB clued me that it was unused), the people wanted rid of it so I got another Ku dish for free, this time w/ a nice tripod mount! I set it up Saturday on 99W, blind scanned and witnessed my first wild feed! Got to see the reporter touching up makeup and other interesting stuff.
I also have been reading about low SR audio feeds, and since there's several "out there", I thought "What the heck?", I'll try to manually enter some of these low symbol feeds (<1000 k), and it worked! I put in a feed w/ a symbol of <400 and it locked on the GT media v9. It wasn't stable, and my dish is 36", but I was able to receive it until the wind blew (dish currently jury rigged on a pole, will be setting on a more permanent/stable pole in the future, the other dish is on a pallet so semi-permanent). It needed to be spot on to not dropout, but that was kinda cool. Obviously won't blindscan in, but interesting nonetheless. The lnb in use was Geosatpro PLL Standard type.
