Lyngsat and Glocal-CM updates?

[SatinKzo]

How often do the two sites update the sat info they post?

 

[Mr Tony]

Mike Kohl (Global-cm) updates it I think he said once a month for sure, sometimes every 2 weeks

Lyngsat (since the owner is not on this side of the ocean) updates as they come in. It may take a couple days or so but ususlly in a few days there are updates

I find that Mike Kohl's list is more accurate , albiet more conservative, and use it as my reference.
On a side note I have bought equipment from him and would highly recomend him. He will go out of his way to help out, make recomendations etc. I look forward to his updated list and monthly newsletters

I like Mike's list better too! I just figured out Lyngsat, but Mike's gives me better details. THANKS MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the compliments! I'd like to have an updated list this weekend, but am still trying to second-guess all of the RTN affiliation changes, and a number of other things that are changing either today (1 September) or in conjunction with the startup of the CW network next week.

I can imagine that it is a lot of work to keep that list updated!

Here is a thread I have been keeping track on the Equity changes
http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=64014

Also on the Wikipedia they have a list

[Mr Tony]

I also want to appreciate the hard work you do on the changes. Makes it a nice easy to read list

 

[BKP]

Yes.. Great job, Mike..

I've read every page of your website at least twice and occasionally I find a new page, Hahaha.. I especially like your High Tech Hillbilly section..

 

[Mr Tony]

I especially like your High Tech Hillbilly section..

That page is how I really got involved with FTA

 

[SatinKzo]

Yeah, I am new to the FTA and after I visited global-cm, I really like that page just wasn't sure how often it updated. The list is much easier to read and understand, but the site overall is very useful

 

[BKP]

That page is how I really got involved with FTA

Cool...

I'm thinking that's where I stumbled onto this forum..

I would like to go to his place and see his system. I know I would end up buying stuff He is only about 2.5 - 3 hours away or so.

US Hwy 151 is now 4 laned from Dubuque to well past Madison, so it's an easy drive. Just under 30 miles of 2 lane (but scenic) road north of Dodgeville, WI exit, to my location. And 750 feet of very bumpy gravel driveway, to the "castle", which is elevated about 50 feet above the highway. Not for the squeamish, especially during icy periods in mid-winter! Let us know in advance if you would like to make the trip, and we'll leave the light on. (apologies to Tom Bodett and his Motel 6 commercial)

Mike is a great guy. Have made several in person purchases. I make the drive from the Twin Cities and usually stay a bit and ask questions. I was there a couple of months ago and bought a dish and LNBF and as a bonus I followed him to the best cheese store in town. I use his channel lists rather than Lyngsat.....Mike if your reading this will be back before the snow flies for some more toys and goodies.....

I will make the trip sometime! What are your hours? I have a few days off in Sept and October

 

[mikekohl]

Best to set up an appointment in advance, and see if both of our schedules synchronize. If I am available, will be happy to give a nickel tour and answer your questions. Due to some pending work contracts in the next two months, it will be necessary to check in advance to confirm that I will be in and available on any particular day.

 

[iafirebuff]

Gotcha! Will do that sometime
