There's some NBC feeds in S2 on AMC 18 at 105.
S2 on C-band requires a well tuned dish. Sports feeds use S2 on C band sometimes too.

Yea!your right!dosnt seem like much s2 listed on C.AMC3 has rtv (4080h/29125) and some others have feeds in s2.
thelist is not going to be the best option to see for S2 stuff I hate to say
Since I update thelist on the C-Band side (qwert does the KU) the only S2 receiver I have is a azbox that doesnt have a blind scan. Qwert uses a PC card for KU (he doesnt have a true C-Band dish) which can show that stuff much easier.
There is lots of S2 on C-Band but most is scrambled

AMC18 (105.0W) 3940 H 30000 FEC 8/9 DVB-S2/8PSK (NBC/TELEMUNDO) - listed at lyngsat.com
If the 9200 would work with Channelmaster that would be great and would allow us to update thelist 
I agree. I've tuned much more S2 channels on C-band than Ku, although recently, more and more have been popping up on Ku.
I also find it MUCH easier to tune in the C-band transponders than the Ku transponders, although I don't have any good explanation for that, other than the fact that my C-band LNB (Norsat) is higher quality than my Ku LNBF (Invacom QPH-031).
Larger antennas require much more accuracy for Ku performance. Tighter beamwidth with larger antennas.
True, but once aligned they give excellent signal. Back when my Orbitron was still working on Ku, it got much better results than my 3' dish for DVB digital.
But in my recent case with S2 signals, I was doing the C-band on 10' dish, and the Ku on a 3' dish, so the beamwidth was essentially the same. I really suspect that the difference is most likely the difference in LNBs.
AMC18, S2 chanells
Which receiver do you think is the best to buy & see the s2 channels from AMC18. (Azbox ultra HD, openbox s9 or dreambox 500HD)

Both the AZbox Ultra and the openbox will do the job for you.The AZbox will cost you more but will do 4:2:2.Thec openbox is easier to use and cheaper but wont do 4:2:2.
if you could find a coolsat8000 or 8100 that would work nice for you too..
you can find them used on fleabay..
DVB-S2 is becoming the standard now. Most cable channels and networks have switched to DVB-S2. Cband has lots of DVB-S2. Mostly encrypted though. Ku also has lots of DVB-S2. Mostly IPTV and IP data.
