I am looking for some suggestions on which birds to use. I mostly like watching DSNG feeds. I've been out of this for a while and now I am starting to get time to mess around with my dishes again.

I am using 2 Channel Master dishes (white version of the P*) and a 8foot C/Ku dish. The 8foot is on G16 and one of the Channel Masters is on AMC6. I picked G16 becasue that's where CBS Newswatch. I am finding a little DSNG on G16. AMC6 has turned up nothing in the day so I am going to probably move it to another bird.

CBS is on G16 along with Fox. You will find NBC on AMC's 1, 9, and 6, but they have more dedicated signals on AMC 1. ABC is on G17 (91W) and G28. CNN has resources on AMC 5 and a bit on AMC 3. Other news services are on AMC 5 and Horizons 2.

There can be DSNG on basically any satellite at any time, this is just a crude listing of the networks "home" satellites. Here are some PDF's on frequency and location for the DSNG services.
