I don't get it.... Viewsat 2000 Plat does not list this satellite.

Tried to download latest sat file from Viewsat USA web site and still nothing at 93W except old Intelsat 6 with wrong transponder frequency list.

Even if I enter the 12884 transponder info, still not working !

Now that is interesting and not the first time it happens. I answered your post Chumley last night.

Rico did 5 or 6 insulting posts on various topics and I replied to him and after that I mentionned that I created a new satellite using channel master and I added the transponders in there.

This morning I notice all of Rico's posts and mine have disappeared.

Anyway, to no avail. I must be pointing at the wrong satellite since I am still not getting G25

The Outer Limits----Put the Beer down.

Galaxy 25 at 93.1°W was known as Intelsat Americas 5.

Azteca 7
Azteca 13
America Esta
All come in expect America Oest.

Do you have a clear view to this Bird?

Do only a TP Scan, ( 11984 Pol. V Sr 8681
FEC (auto)

I am in EIRP 46, it's little hard to make out but
if you are in 42 you may be little out of range
with your 39" Dish from Quebec.
Here is the Footprint Map. check it out yourself

oldPlymouth I am between the 46 and 48 line. So I presume 47.

It should take me a 65-85 dish (26 to 34 inches). So I am OK at 39 inches.

This satellite is very hard to get because you have much satellite in side of this one, the best way is with a motorized dish then you can see bad satellite info on upper right corner, few TP's give Galaxy 19 even you are on Galaxy 25.

I just gave up Plymouth. Indeed, very strong signals both side. Makes job impossible. Plus the fact that I have to climb on the roof all the time (6 times so far) and I am not that young...... I am retired after all.

I could find something at 95, very strong, contained a whole bunch of feeds for news. I had Baltimore Channel 8 identified on one of them. Could not find that on Lyngsat. Transponder 11800

Going a bit further brings something terribly strong as well.

It is a job for a Rohde & Schwarz ESH-2 portable spectrum analyzer. No access to that anymore since I am retired....

Baltimore Channel 8, Transponder 11800 ..I get that one(scrambled) on Galaxy 28 - 89w.

95w has the CCTV channels and the RTN channels.

G25 also has a Baltimore Channel 8 , the Transponder is 12115.

I wished I had a motorized dish to solve those problems though.

A motorized dish is very hard to aligned but you will not regret it, you don't have to go up on the roof each time you want scanned a satellite.
