Big Dish Owners. Get on Board with the Magic of Rainier Today!

The 2018 Statistics are in. And the trophy goes to Rainier!

As 2018 draws to a close their were gains and losses, and Rainier takes the trophy for 2018. Depending on where you get your entertainment from, you either moved forward or fell behind when it came to channel count and choices. If you were a Rainier subscriber you gained 116% viewing choices. If you were a FTA viewer you lost over 75% of your choices.  While Rainier channel count increased. (We added 16 new channels) FTA lost over 75 due to discontinuation of signals or encryption.

While FTA dealers continue to try to stimulate their sales with introduction of different same old foreign country target use boxes with different wrappers and gimmicks, they have one thing in common. These continue to offer the same dwindling list of FTA satellite viewing choices with nothing new. Projections from inside industry sources show this content loss trend will continue in 2019.

If your still with FTA its time you need to ask yourself an important question. Do I continue on with a losing trend, or do I go with the clear winner and get on board with Rainier.

Rainier continues to grow with the launch of our new Variety pak which includes two premium movie channels from Sony in Ultimate HD. But that’s not all. Variety is launching even more great cable content for you at no extra cost in 2019.  It’s really a no brainier. It’s time to go with the proven winner.

Join Rainier today and fill your big dish up with the quality cable content you deserve at a low monthly cost. Once you’re on board you’ll never look back.

Rainier Satellite… Were the Future Of C Band!

Rainier to begin sales of our own in house brand dish mover controllers soon.


As Rainier Satellite with its Exclusive big dish Subscription TV content continues to grow. Rainier must be able to keep up with the demand of hardware needed for its current and future subscribers. Dish movers (controllers) are an integral part of the C band dish system. Lately sources for good product has dried up.  With many big name network contracts on the table waiting for finalization Rainier needed good movers fast. After sitting down with manufactures and our technical department to work out the details, Rainier is pleased to announce we will be rolling out our own line of movers (controllers) at our Webstore in the near future.

“This couldn’t happen at a better time” says Robert Scharmann, Rainier’s president. “We’ve been thinking about bringing out our own line of dish controllers for some time. With the expansion of our programming lineup as many new contracts are nearing finalization, there will be an in rush soon of new subscribers. Many have dishes idle for years that will need new hardware upgrades to grab all those new HD signals Rainier will be offering. I’m  pleased that Rainier was able to get this hurdle quickly taken care of.”

C Band Big Dish FTA viewers scheduled to lose 4 channels at end of October.

Rainier Satellite has learned that 4 popular channels watched by the FTA community will be leaving c band at the end of October. Rainier never likes to be the messenger of sad information such as this. But the public should be informed to what’s really happening.

Four channels KRBK (Fox), ME-TV (Ozarks), THIS TV, and ION TV located at the 99 west satellite will be lost because of this change. These are not channels Rainier has contracts with and have no control over the loss.

KRBK has began running a crawl to remind viewers that they will be switching UHF channels on October 31st, going from RF 49 to RF 22, as part of the national DTV repacking schedule, which is being directed by the FCC. As a reminder, the satellite signal will go away once the transition has been completed.

KRBK is moving to a new tower and antenna, east of Springfield, Missouri (near Fordland). KRBK has been using a 5 tower single frequency network (SFN) for their terrestrial coverage. That will end on Oct 31st, as the antenna & tower they are moving to is 1936′ height above average terrain (HAAT), and will be transmitting 1000 kW ERP. Since the new local broadcast transmitter will be able to supply the coverage needed from one location, the satellite feed will be shutdown. This means these stations will no longer be available to the C band FTA community.

As many of the free channels on c band continue to leave or encrypt owners of big dishes that are currently not a Rainier Subscriber need to make a important decision here. Do you want to be able to watch quality programming on your c band dish … or not?


Don’t let your dish turn into a birdbath. Fill it with the GOLD from Rainier!

On a much happier note. Rainier Satellite has been working hard this summer and we’re getting ready to announce the names of even more cable networks that will be launching on our Full Arc platform. We also are pleased to be able to announce a new piece of satellite hardware will be available in our store soon. stay tuned…
