Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.
Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.
Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

I agree, it's 103w. 11760 H 30000, 11880 H 30000, are NBC. Not sure what that 12130 is though...
DirecTV 10/12 & SES 3 at 103.0°W - LyngSat
There's typically MORE than one sat at a position. Your dish see's them as a single sat, but only picks up the appropriate frequencies the receiver and lnb are capable of.
Those receivers are not so sensitive to signal tuning. I always use a satfinder (sathero 200) to tune the dish outside.
Echostar 105 ku but there is no channels on that transponder. peak it in and try for signal on transponder 12035 H 3979 auto
Get a Sharpie marker with a fine tip (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) and mark the mounting pole and dish bracket at the spot where you got 105 W. That's your 105 degree reference point. Then you can move the dish a little East, in increments until you find 97W. Note that there are satellites at 95, 97, 99, 101, 103, etc., so you will have to adjust your elevation and azimuth slowly. You are doing a good job, keep at it and you will get 97W.
Welcome bud another member from Indiana. You could be on 91w ku. 87w would be a good satellite to aim for since you live here.
