Analog test transponder on AMC9

[pdnettles]

Hey Guys,

Having a little trouble.

Can anyone tell me if they are receiving the analog test transponder (19) on AMC9 right now...2036hrs cdt (that's 8:37pm to all you landlubbers)

I had a look (KU) and did not see it, I did see a few feeds, and bumped into a NASCAR feed on digital......

Thanks Pete couldn't tell if it was me or not.

Do you know of any 24/7 Ku analog test cards active?

Hey...that's OK, but sure do need an active analog Test Xponder, 'cause I'm in a little bit of a "tiff" here .

Thanks,
Perry

And now all the analog feeds on AMC-9 are off air : (

Thanks anyway...Guess I'll just have to try later.

Really do need an analog Ku test transponder to tune in tho. If you (or anyone else) finds one please post it or...even better yet, let me know.

Thanks much,

Perry

Does anyone know if the Nascar feeds are common? I used to watch the races on C-Band backhauls all the time... I miss those days!

I miss those days!

Those days are gone. NASCAR feeds are on various satellites, unfortunately in the 4:2:2 format (scrambled).
