Anik F3 @ 118.8W

...what Modulation Setting to use ie: DVB-S2 8PSK for PID entry of these 3 Channels (KNVX, KPNX, KSAV) on 12185 - H on 118.8W Anik F...

DVB-S QPSK. H.264 must be set for the Video Type.

Thanks Cyberham. Well that was my last try for now. Didn't work again! Funny thing is I got all 8 CBC HD Channels on 107.3 Anik F1R by PID entry, but no go for these 3 channels on 118.8W.

Your trouble is probably the Invacom LNB. Its lower circular cutoff frequency is 12.2 GHz. These 3 ITC are on 12185. I've read that Azbox can receive these if an LNB is used that covers the out-of-DBS-band frequency. Those CBC on C-band would be nice to get.

Thanks Cyberham, I was using the Norsat 4506A LNB on the 12 ft'er Mesh Dish with LNB Freq of 10750 to try for these 3 Channels on 12185 / H on 118.8W. (On 107.3W Anik F1R I used the C Band 8515 Norsat LNB for the CBC Channels). Wonder if that 10750 Freq on the KU Band Norsat 4506A is even capable of picking those 3 channels on Tp 12185 on 118.8W?

The LO frequency is fine to receive 12185, but this is a linear LNB so received signal strength would at best be low for these circular signals.

Thanks Cyberham, so than if I used a Circular LNB set for 12185 / H and Freq = 11250 or 11300 would this likely be a better fit for signal strength?

Circular LNB with receiver set for LNB's correct LO freq (11250) is best. If it doesn't work, you can try adjusting receiver LO a little up or down. The Coolsat 7000 works when I set its LO setting to 11200, but S9's LO setting doesn't need to be changed from correct 11250.
