87w vacant transponders?

[freezy]

I did a blind scan on 87w and my cs6100 added a couple TPs. Nice sig and quality.

11005v sr14994
10817v sr9981
10721h sr3676
10713h sr4857

11817v sr9982

Nobody is home though. What are these? Please excuse my nubeness.

Ahhh I feel so silly now

hehe...I don't think Multichoice South Africa is coming from the 87W orbital slot...

11817 V 9982 is data but not HughesNet...the provider is listed as ESM.

I am suspecting that you did the blind scan with the wrong LO freq/ lnbf type.
All of freqs except for 11817 aren't consistent with the 87w sat, suggesting that perhaps you have a standard lnbf and blind scanned with 9750 LO freq.
I think that your 10817 AND 11817 are both the same signal, which as mentioned above is a data transponder.
Re the other transponders,
your 10713H is almost certainly 10713-9750+10750= 11713 = Patient Channel
your 10721H is almost certainly 10721-9750+10750=11721 = Bloomberg

I'm still a bit confused about the 11005. I'm guessing that this also equates to 12005, however the SR doesn't match what I was expecting. Is it possible that that SR was actually 4994 (actually 5000) instead of 14994??? If not, I'll keep working on that one. If yes, then that is also a data channel.

10817-10721-10713 are Multichoice South Africa-
11817-hughesnet(internet)
listed on tracksat.com

It can't be those because Tracksat has the satellite listed as G26 (Our old friend from 93° West) and they say that the satellite is "(moving 1.7°E/day) at 87°West". When I check the TLE's the satellite is currently located at 50.8°E (Close to Africa).

This what I have:

Digiwave DGL-780 Standard Linear Single LNB

Settings are :
LNB Type- Universal (single is the only other option, standard isn't available)
LNB Freq.- 9750-10750

 

[Mr Tony]

that LNB is a standard LNB with LNB freq 10750

 

[freezy]

I have it set right?

 

[Mr Tony]

no

you need to set it to single/standard for LNB type
lnb freq 10750

who cares..

 

[B.J.]

who cares..

Apparently YOU cared enough to remove your original post.

 

[freezy]

no

you need to set it to single/standard for LNB type
lnb freq 10750

AAAHhhhh HAAhhhhhH!!!

Eureka!!

Funny, when I set all the TPs according to lyngsat and set the LNB type and freq correctly the auto search works.. I am a 'Tard from way back

 

[Mr Tony]

nah...just inputted the wrong number. Done that numerous times
