72W [ AMC 6 ]

[beer4me]

Is there any issue with this sat ? I cannot get any signal on any transponder. KU band . Aiming does not seem to be an issue. If it's just me , I'll have to look farther. All other sats are no problem . Using a 39" dish w/microhd. Thanks for any help.

I had the NBC mux on 72W ku coming in loud and clear this morning, think you need to check on your end.

Just checked and the NBC mux at 12053 V SR 6890 is coming in fine here as well as the religious channel at 11966 H SR 1666.

NBC mux is at a solid 76% here. Havent seen that religious channels in months though..

I'm getting 3 out of the 4 NBC MUXs and CH-1.

 

[avenger]

Getting three NBC MUX also

 

[northgeorgia]

Religious station (70Q) and all 4 channels in the NBC mux here (75Q), plus a feed showing test pattern bars (72Q).

Religious station (60Q) and the NBC mux (75Q) with the S9 and 30 inch Channel Master.
EDIT: Just did a regular blindscan with the S9. It missed the N B C mux. That's a first as it's always gotten it before.
A TP scan scans them in.

Thats interesting.. last night around 8:30pm I did a blind scan with the S10 and it didnt pick up NBC either despite the Q being at 74%. TP scanned brought them in too.

AMC 6 doesn't exist for me on my 1m dish.

You might be out of the footprint.

 

[Kraven]

Looking at 72W's footprint on Satbeams... the FP ends practically across the street from Cyberham's pad.

This is old news. I need 1.2-1.5-metre dish for AMC 6.

I have found that when I go to AMC6 C Band I have to bump a few clicks back to the west to get Ku to come in. Hope that this is of some help.

Is COZI TV part of that NBC mux ?

 

[Kraven]

Only on 103W with that funky 20 degree skew.

Thanks guys.

I did not have a problem in the past , with a strong signal [ 65 or so ] . All the other sats are good. Thanks for all the input. Looks like I'll be spending some time today. I just hate to look for something that isn't there . Thanks again. I'll post the answer when finished , just in case someone else has an issue.

 

[Kraven]

Off of 103West, I get NBC Mountain on most evenings at 65%.

All done !

Not bad weather today , so , I was out working the dish today. What puzzled me was that all the other sats were just fine. After learning some new words , it seems AMC 6 is really touchy. I found it was really sensitive to elevation. I only made a .5 or so degrees adjustment , and it jumped up to 60 or so. Going back over the rest of the arc , there was no signifigant change on the other sats . I'll put this lesson in my continuing learning process. Thanks to all for your help.
