Anything Ku on 83w?

AMC-9
Did two blind scans on this bird and getting nothing. Is it off the air completely? The two TPs listed in the "strong transponders" list above do not appear to be on-line. I am getting 85 and 79 signals.
Also in the TP list, what would "D" signify in the polarity column?
-C.

Nothing on 83W for a while now. Just did a blind scan and got channel MSC-4 with test pattern on 12156 V 3978 and Q 60.

Also 12040 H 30000, Q 70 but blank screen.

12155 V 3978 seems to be 24/7 (or at least is always there whenever I have checked it!) and is currently up.

EDIT: See jorgek beat me to it!

I had a fixed sat to this sat until about 2 months ago, it was there for Luken channels, Anyway, once in a while I would find some feeds, and at least last year I would find college footbal games on Saturdays, I remember at one time you would find the Met Opera feeds.

Thanks Guys!
Will program in those manually, maybe I am just skipping over those for some reason.

add:
12040 H 30000 S2 8psk 3/4 is 85Q, not sure why I did not scan it. Maybe the old AzBox is worn out...

That isn't polarity,it's "type",my guess is "D" is for data,V$ would be video encrypted,V is video clear.As I look at that list there are no columns,it's the order in which the info is listed.

If you are lucky to get some oddball raw news feeds and pr feed and on Saturday you might get sports feeds! Just be patient and help your TV DXing skills!
