Is Glorystar available in my region? The following map shows the estimated coverage of the Glorystar system signals in North America. The map's contour lines indicate the footprint and signal strength. 50 being the strongest signal and 38 the weakest. If you live inside the 46 or high contour lines we recommend our standard 36 inch dish. Contour lines lower than 44 may require a larger dish, which is available at an additional charge through Glorystar. Note: This map is based on estimated signal measurements. Please call for if you have any questions regarding the signal availability in your area. Click here to view larger map At this time we directly ship to US, Canadian and Mexican addresses. Please contact us with your freight forwarder information if you live outside of these countries. I have trees or tall buildings near my property. Will these interfere with reception of Glorystar? Satellite signals will not travel through leaves, branches buildings or overhangs. There must be a direct line of sight to the satellite to receive Glorystar channels. In North America, the satellites are always located to the South. Imagine a point in the sky that is located over the equator in line with Mexico and Texas. If you live in the East, the satellites will be located Southwest of your location, If you are in the West, the satellites are Southeast. In Mexico the satellites are very high in the sky, but in Canada, Alaska and Hawaii, the satellites are very low near the horizon. Glorystar recommends that if you have any questions regarding the availability of the signal in your location that you contact us before ordering a system or contact a local satellite installer to perform a sight survey. Can I receive other channels with this system? Glorystar systems are pre-programmed to receive Christian TV and Radio channels. Glorystar only provides technical support for the reception of our Christian broadcast partner's channels. You may choose to scan and receive additional free secular channels available in English, Arabic, Chinese and Korean and several other languages. For an additional investment in equipment that may require a somewhat complicated setup process, you can purchase a motorized dish that allows you to point at several different satellites. These satellites will provide a total of approximately 300 channels and a wider variety of English programming. Please call for details. Can I install the satellite system myself? If you have a good understanding of how to use a compass, have basic mechanical skills and a technical aptitude you should have the skills necessary to install the system. If you need professional installation, please call Glorystar and we will book a local technician (available in most areas of the US and Canada). Can I use this system with my big C-band dish? We recommend that you purchase a complete Glorystar KU-Band system if you are only wishing to receive the Glorystar channels. Many additional channels can be received with a C-Band dish and LNB; however, if your dish is also KU capable, you may find it hard to fine tune your dish for optimum KU-Band reception of the digital signals. Can I use my existing Dish Network or DirecTV dish? No, a slightly larger dish is required with a different type of LNBF mount. To get programming from Glorystar, you must use a linear polarity LNBF. The Dish Network and DirecTV LNBFs use circular polarity and use a different frequency than free to air services. Why can't I use a Dish Network or DirecTV receiver? DBS receivers are proprietary and targeted at a particular service. These receivers will not work on satellites that use other audio and video encoding parameters. For example, a Dish Network receiver will only receive signals that have the same signal rate and forward error correction as Echostar satellites use. A receiver that can handle variable SR / FEC and receive non encrypted programming is called a Free To Air (or FTA) receiver. We only sell FTA receivers.

Silvio Berlusconi’s broadcasting group Mediaset will start to encrypt its satellite DTH channels beginning September 7. Until now, the group’s general entertainment channels Italia 1, Rete 4 and Canale Cinque are broadcast free-to-air over the Eutelsat Hot Bord position. The move is believed to be related to the issue of carriage fees. Being FTA channels, all current Sky Italia subscribers are able to view the Berlusconi channels. Follwoing a decision on carriage payments, Mediaset is now seeking payment of retransmission fees from Sky Italia for including its channels on the Sky EPG. Mediaset’s request is strengthened by a resolution by the country’s communications regulator AGCOM made last April at the request of RAI. As a result of this ruling, the public broadcaster is looking to receiving retransmission fees from the various distribution platforms. Mediaset is following this route and also asking payments from its main competitor, Sky Italia. Viewers in Italy can continue to see these Mediaset channels, as well as additional channels from the group, Iris, La5, Top Crime, Italia 2 and Extra, with a TiVu Sat receiver and smartcard, no subscription needed. The free-to-view satellite platform currently offers a total of 68 Italian and international TV channels, including all the RAI and Mediaset channels, as well as 32 national and international radio stations. Some 2.4 million households currently hold a smartcard,

It is no secret that the Ethiopian Satellite Television, ESAT, has become the most popular television program in Ethiopia and around the world. Despite the continuous jamming of ESAT by the Ethiopian regime, ESAT has stolen the hearts of millions in such a short time. Tens of thousands have called ESAT television station when it went off the air twice. The emails and the numerous telephone calls ESAT's office recieved seem to indicate a solid moral backing for this free media. And ESAT is a must-have for our people in Ethioipa who at this time are denied access to free television and print media. That is why our people need ESAT more than anything else. They want to be informed and they like to know what is actually going on in their country. Knowledge is power. Informed people can and will change their circumstances. They will bring, on their own, the changes they seek. But we have to give them the chance to determine their destiny. ESAT is that chance. And it is the means to our people to establish peace, demorcacy, and freedom in Ethiopia. And the burden to provide this chance to our people lies totally on Diaspora Ethiopians. It is a historical duty and a patriotic obligation to support ESAT financially at this critical moment. If we say we love our country and if we mean what we say, then let us prove it. Let us keep ESAT on air for the sake of our people and Ethiopia. Our people are forced to live in total darkness. They have nowhere to go and nobody to ask. That is why they continously call ESAT to resume broadcasting. They tasted ESAT. And now they can't live without it. ESAT is the only hope our families and relatives rely on for reliable information. ESAT is their guiding light. ESAT is their torch to brighten the path showing their future. A bright and promising future. We have to be there for them if we say we love them. We need to subscirbe to ESAT and keep it on the air. It does not cost an arm and a leg to help ESAT. Nobody goes hungry or gets behind morgage payments by supporting ESAT. All it costs is 50 cents or a dollar a day. Is there any Ethiopian in the Diaspora who has any job that could not afford this much for the country or people he or she claims to love? If we love our people and our country, let us show it. Let us not say it. Forget the big speeches. And the empty promises. Just show it. Quietly and courageously. Bragging is enough. We have bragged for too long. Almost for twenty years now. Ethiopia and Ethiopians are bleeding. Bleeding to death. They are not looking for empty words. They want real help. Help they can touch and see. They want action from the Diaspora Ethiopians. There are thousands of us here in the Diaspora. The fate of our people is really in our hands. The power to save our country squarely lies on our shoulder. Where are we? What are we doing? Do we want to be free? Do we love to see our families and relatives to live in freedom like we do here in the Diaspora? If our answer is no, then you can kiss freedom for us and for our people goodbye. And we have chosen to live in shame and humiliation. If our answer is yes, then Ethiopia, Ethiopians, and ESAT need all of us. And we have chosen freedom, respect, and hope. For us and for our people. Don't make the enemies of free media happy. Don't help the enemies of freedom by not helping ESAT. Subscribe to ESAT now. You will be glad you did. It does not cost much. Not at all.

The ease of use makes this antenna rotator a very desirable piece of equipment to one reviewer, who found locating distant stations a simple matter of pushing a button or two on the included remote control. The RCA ANT800 antenna is a multi-directional antenna in a compact size. This means no more trying to adjust the antenna to get the best reception. The antenna also amplifies weaker signals. The only drawback pertains to its short range of 30 miles; but owners close to a large city should not have any problems with this antenna. Easy to assemble, the antenna's sleek design makes it inconspicuous when installed on a roof or side of a house or apartment. It even installs easily on the beam in an attic. According to Top Ten Reviews, the RCA ANT800 antenna picks up signals from up to 30 miles in every direction and sends pristine high-definition signals to the TV screen. Antennas Direct ClearStream C2-V-CJM Antenna The Antennas Direct ClearStream C2-V-CJM antenna provides high-quality HDTV channels. While the antenna has a minuscule ability to pick up channels on the UHF band, it otherwise provides excellent signal quality when it comes to VHF channels, with a clear picture sent to an HDTV. It can pick up signals up to 65 miles away, and sometimes even farther. Owners should find the antenna itself easy to assemble. Once assembled, users can follow the easy-to-understand instructions to hook it up. Top Ten Reviews loves the easy setup and instructions for this antenna. Dish Network ViP 211K TV Receiver The Dish Network ViP 211K TV Receiver makes a great receiver for those who like to tailgate, or even for an HDTV in an extra room. The receiver also supports standard definition for those without a high-definition TV, as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The ViP 211K TV receiver also gives users the option to pay as they go, allowing them to order DIRECTV for 30 days at a time. One review found the ViP 211K easy to set up, in addition to having a great price. Winegard MS-2002 Metrostar Antenna Another multi-directional antenna, the Winegard MS-2002 Metrostar antenna provides high-definition programming from more than 40 miles away in any direction. Perfect for those who live within or near a city, the antenna receives channels in both the UHF and VHF bands, greatly extending its channel selection. Additionally, the Metrostar has a built-in preamplifier that helps strengthen weaker signals. Top Ten Reviews calls the Winegard Metrostar a great antenna choice.

The key to great television viewing when you are traveling in your RV is…a great satellite television system. It’s not just an antenna, either. In order to make the guy in the camper parked next to you at that fishing resort shake his head you need something substantial. You need a massively impressive system that matches your simply awesome 50-some-foot RV.

Did someone say ‘bundle?’ The popular and portable satellite dish antenna and the best satellite receiver combined in the KING Tailgater for HD TV reception make this a pretty sweet package. In fact, it is ready to work right out of the package it comes in. The HD receiver does the hard work while you get to sit and watch the spoils of RV TV life after getting the antenna set up (it’s pretty easy). 15 minutes is the approximate setup time. As for the setup location, you need to place the DISH VQ4510 KING Tailgater on the ground, or on a flat and stable surface. It will auto aim to connect to the satellites. The KING Tailgater is exclusive to DISH, working to deliver SD and HD channels. The bundle is intended to give you a great combo of equipment at a budget price Neither the antenna nor receiver is low end, as both are rated highly in our books and in RV satellite reviews.

The Carryout G2 is the exciting new generation of small and portable satellite TV antennas, providing you with live TV whether you are RVing or camping.The G2 is 40% smaller than the popular Wineguard Carryout, so it easy for the whole family to manage once you reach your destination.

A nice feature we like is the G2 is equipped with 2 coaxial ports which means it supports 2 receivers. This allows you to view different programmes using the same satellite simultaneously on 2 TVs.The Carryout G2 can be converted to fit a roof mount antenna if you want stationary use. The Roof Mount Kit (RK-2000) is sold separately. 50’ power and 50’coax cables are included. You can choose from white or black domes. Another fully automatic system with a twist. While this Winegard product supports all new DIRECTV HD receivers, it will provide you with signals from more than one satellite.

Soccer fans, I need your help. I’m putting together a comparison guide to compare how DirecTV stacks up against DISH (and vice-versa). Since I haven’t had a satellite subscription in over 10 years, I don’t have the first hand experience that you do to completely understand the pros and cons of both DirecTV and DISH. I have a preliminary list of features and pricing for each satellite provider, but what insight can you share (positive or negative) about all aspects of being a DirecTV or DISH subscriber? If you’ve tried both services, which one is better for soccer fans in your opinion? Is the picture quality on one better than the other? What has been your experience with customer service? Thanks in advance for any insight you can share. Please leave your feedback in the comments, and that’ll help me complete my DISH vs. DirecTV comparison guide for soccer fans.
