No sound on some stations

[moseman]

I've done a power scan, also added channels manually putting in the stations frequency, VPID & APID numbers, no sound. HELP!

1. What type of receiver do you have?
2. What satellite are you pointing to?
3. Which stations do you not have audio on?

For most of the satellite receivers, all you have to do is unplug it, then plug it back in, but it would really depend on the satellite receiver type and model.

Thank you for your reply. I have a "Fortec Star Fortune" receiver and one of the satellites is the AMC 21, the PBS stations.

those pbs stations elude me at times too. but if you've entered the right audio id's and still no sound remember they are ac-3. might need optical or coax to a reciever if that fortec does passthru. im not familiar with that model.

I think I'm going to manually put them in again & see what happens.

Those may have AC3 Audio.

as far as i know all of the pbs feeds on 125w have ac3 audio.

Montana PBS is the only channel NOT broadcasting in AC3. The rest are broadcasting in AC3. The Fortec Fortune/MercuryII/Dynamic passes through AC3 but, you would need to run it through an audio receiver or system. Just hook it up to a surround sound system with Dolby Digital.

Let us know how it worked out.
