I'm looking to update my 2016 satellite location list that I use to setup my 3 systems to what's currently up there and still ACTIVE. Anyone have a current list they could post for me or post a URL with that info online?

Thanks..........

I think Lyngsat is pretty accurate, especially since cyberham keeps them current with updates..

Thanks, yep, I looked at Lyngsat and boy is it confusing. TVROSAT is another that I looked at but not sure if they are "current" or not especially after the stuff that went on with the "new" channels that were posted on 135W last week.

Just saying..................

What's confusing?

Left column is based on your location derived from something (IP address, browser, I'm not really sure)
Pink is below the horizon and orange means you're outside the footprint, so you likely can't get those.
Green and yellow are things that in theory you should be able to find. White is a toss-up.

Third column tells you which bands are available: Ku, C or other.

Then you click on anything for more details of what is available on that sat.

In the example I posted, Jupiter 3, Galaxy 34, AMC 6 and Galaxy 13 have no frequencies listed in the third column, meaning there's nothing there. Also: 133 is yellow and 99 is green, so theoretically I should have a better signal from 99.

To my knowledge, there is NO solid source for this that's guaranteed to be 100% accurate. This stuff changes by the minute. Some sat receivers can be set to auto blindscan at certain time intervals, and that can tell you what was there at the time of the scan.
 
Man! Probably should be shopping for a new receiver if you're really going to 'update'.
You'll never know if you have 5G interference until you fire it up and scan the arc.
Footprints. Are you located in one where you will get a good signal? I see your lnbf's are "oh, one of those".
Lyngsat. Farthest right column. Newer listings are better. Old ones may or may not have active transponders.
Same ole same ole. Start where you know a satellite is. Identify it. Store it in your dish mover. Find the next one.
Keep track of the counter and difference in positions. Pencil and paper. "Hmm. 127 to 125 is....50 counts difference. So 123 should be here." And so on.
Make us a list of the fuzzies you're having a time grasping.
 
Well, I guess I should have explained what I'm doing better than I did. The "list" I have is just satellite names, positions and whether C, Ku or both. That list has satellites in numerical order with a blank space in front of each satellite listed that I write the Vbox position number in for future reference.

All I want is to update my list removing or adding satellites/locations etc. NO transponder or channels are on this list, only positions for future reverence. Here is a cut and paste from my existing list, which is out of date.
