IMPORTANT SATELLITE INFORMATION TO HELP YOU TUNE IN
- Galaxy 4R is located at 99 degrees West . You can possibly find it on
the menu of your satellite receiver as “G4”, “G6”, or “G2”. To set up early,
you may find the following programming airing on the satellite:
Channel 15 World Harvest – religious program
Channel 16 Shepherd’s Chapel – religious program
Once you establish that
you are on the correct satellite, don’t forget to change back to Channel
8 for our program. If you can’t find the above religious programs
and you believe you are on Galaxy 4R , you should consider
having your satellite system checked out by a professional before our program.
More tips about tuning can be found at www.fda.gov/cdrh/ocer/dcm/html/tips_primer.html.
- It is very important for you to test your equipment as soon as possible
to ensure that it is functioning properly and to see if you can get programming
from the satellite we’ll be on. Storms can cause damage and/or move your
antenna out of alignment or you may not have your satellite of choice programmed
in. Do not wait until test time to discover problems. If you think your dish
and/or receiver are malfunctioning or not programmed correctly, have them
checked out by a professional well before the program.
- The first 5 – 10 minutes of the program test will show “FDATechCenter” over
color bars, with a tone sound. After that, there will be a program slate and
music. You should both see and hear this information properly in order to be
ready for the program.
- Although a Troubleshooter will be provided, we cannot guarantee the
performance of your equipment.
