I believe T5 is the one you should scan for 97w.
Yep, just checked and according to Galaxy 25 - Wikipedia Keith is correct. So assuming all is still in alignment with your system that should get you on 97W.

Is G7 the Galaxy 7 satellite? If so, a search showed that one at 96W with a failure in orbit in November 2000. That would put you near 97W if everything is still in alignment.
Don't think so since I was still using it after 2002 to sync the DSR905 sidecar on G7, can't remember what that bird was called maybe W7 since it was new bird that went up during that time. The problem is that I could only rename the satellites with a two alpha-numeric moniker in both the Drake and sidecar receivers.Is G7 the Galaxy 7 satellite?

If I recall T5 was before G3 in the arc so it's less than 95w and the cluster of CCTV channels was on T5 in MPEG-4 and then it moved over to G3 in MPEG-2 the reason why I got the Captive Works Ultima DVB reciever in May 2011.I believe T5 is the one you should scan for 97w.
I used G7 mostly for my DSR905 Sidecar, I think it was called W7 or something as it was a new bird in 2002.Think G7 was, at one time, at 91w, and the scrambled channels EdT got probably were the Wright-Patterson channels, and T6 was at 93w (and nothing is there now). T5 is on the other side of G3, and my searching shows it was at 97w. Ah the old satellite names! It got really confusing once they started moving them around. It was at that time I went by orbital positions rather than satellite names!
Well for sure G3 was correct and can be used as a refernce point since I was able to catch the CCTV cluster since 2011 and G7 climbs higher than 95w.Yep, just checked and according to Galaxy 25 - Wikipedia Keith is correct.

You can use North & South America - LyngSatI used G7 mostly for my DSR905 Sidecar, I think it was called W7 or something as it was a new bird in 2002.
Is there a chart of some sort that lists the abbreviations the current operational satellites so I can rename them ?
I've been doing Ku FTA since 2006, and first put an LNB on 95w (G3C) in 2007 specifically for the CCTV mux. As well, I had a LNB on 93w also in 2007 (removed 2018) and never saw CCTV on 93w. Unless it was on C-band (which, unfortunately, I don't do), then there is something wrong, did your system slip, or something got moved, or positions changed?Galaxy 25 which is the new Telstar 5 (T5) at 93w would make sense as the old CCTV cluster was on T5(93w) and was moved to G3(95w) in May 2011.

Ok, I think I found 97w two notches/clicks west of my preset T5. I get the SES mux, STN mux, but no CCTV muxKeith is correct. My first aiming at satellite was in 2004 and I received T5 which was at 97 west.

How can I check how many transponders there are ? There is virtual button that says "Transponder" in the menu screen, but when I pushed on it nothing happens. I noticed when I went into the manual setup "Edit Transponder" I noticed that the frequency 12084 V SR 20760 FEC 3/4 was not on the list for T5 so I added it manually trying to get it on transponder 21, but did nothing after another Blind Scan. So deleted all the useless satellites hoping it would shorten the Blind Scans on the list, but now most of the frequencies disappeared ...WTH ..LoLAre you getting more than two transponders? If not, you're not quite there. There are about 11 of them active with FTA channels.
Agree with Keith on settings change. Perhaps a bit more tweaking on the dish will be required as well to get it exactly on 97W.If AssyriaSAT is located on transponder 11874 H 22000, as your fifth screenshot seems to indicate, then you have your LNB set up incorrectly. AssyriaSAT is located on transponder 12028 H 22000 (there is no transponder at 11874). Your LNB is a standard (LO of 10750) whereas you have is as Universal (LO of 9750/10600). The difference between the two LOs (10750 - 10600) equals roughly the 150 you have to add to 11874 to get 12028 (actually it is 154 difference, but a few points here or there doesn't matter).
I would change the LNB to standard (LO of 10750) and delete all the transponders/channels for 97w, and re-scan. Also, if you have scanned in 84 FTA TV channels for 97w (again as the fifth screenshot seems to indicate), you are missing some channels (I get 103 FTA TV and 2 scrambled TV channels). There are ten transponders with TV channels.
It might be useful to know what exactly are you using for a feed.LNBF or LNB with polarotor or orthomode feed?If polarotor,what is controlling the polarity?In any case,is the skew set correctly?Are you using standard or universal LNBF/LNB?Here are some photos of the menu screen on my Captive Works Ultima:

Hard to find the specs for the Ku Band LNB, but I did see a Norsat GM-6921 listed as a Standard LNB (with a LO of 10750).C-Band LNB: Aspen Eagle, Range: 3.4-4.2GHz, Noise: 17Deg, Gain: 65dB
Ku-Band LNB: Norsat 6605A GM-6921, NF: 0.5dB, Gain: 58dB
Feedhorn: ADL DP3A
I don't see there is a "Standard" option, if I move it from "Universal" it starts giving a slew of numbers like 5150 etc... after each press.Hard to find the specs for the Ku Band LNB, but I did see a Norsat GM-6921 listed as a Standard LNB (with a LO of 10750).
Easy to check, just delete all transponders for 97w, change the LNB from Universal to Standard, blind scan, and compare the channels with the transponders here: Galaxy 19 at 97.0°W - LyngSat
