That sat has a European Only Beam too.
I looks like you were able to get everything on the North American Beam.
Which TPs were you trying to get?

Currently my channel list on 43W Intelsat 3R is showing:

TELEPTO NVO LAREDO on TP 11.953 V SR 3.125 MS/s (just as I checked this, I found that this channel was broadcasting, it shows a "tucanal" and 67% Q).
TELEVISA MATAMOROS on TP 12.003 V SR 3.125 MS/s also (this channel is still dead for me)
El Canal de Casa on TP 11.998 V SR 1.563 MS/s (the Q has dropped since I last checked from 91% to 88%)

It was several days to up to a week ago that I scanned these in.
El Canal de Casa did not scan in with that channel name, it came up with something else, I edited the name to match the channel.

The first two are dead for me now, so they may have just been feed channels. But, El Canal de Casa is running strong at 91% quality (73% signal level) and has been active everytime I have tuned into it at various hours of the day, each day. So I think it is a constant channel and not a feed.

On March 3-5 I checked the alignment of this satellite with the solar outage calculator and found that the eave of my roof is shadowing the signal from this sat to my dish slightly, so I may have a deficiency here. I plan to relocate the dish and test this satellite and a few others east of it again.

I am using a Coolsat 5000, a Winegard DS-2076 and an Invacom QPH-031. I am located near Omaha, NE, just a little NW.

I used to get the channels that are listed on Lyngsat on 12.050 TP, but it is dead for me now. Not sure if the channels have changed and moved or if they are still there and it is a problem with my dish and the eave shadowing affect.

Congratulations Pedro! There are many free channels beamed to Europe from Mexico. And I think a lot more FTA channels are for Europe.

And America?...whats happen!!

Magnigyro,

I am also re-scanning this sat, just out of curiousity. I don't think it will improve my channels acquired, but I am going to try anyway and if I find anything new, I will report that in a few minutes.

I am using BLIND SCAN on a Coolsat 5000 with the SR option set to DETAIL (a nice little trick reported by Iceberg... Thanks Ice!).

19% through the scan now and I do see one new channel. TVSA CD. JUAREZ... On TP 11.953 V SR 3.125, 66% Q

Using the DETAIL SR scan does take a lot longer, but I notice I pick up a lot more channels then with it set to "FULL" for the SR scan option.

Up to 52% now and into the H TPs, there was only the one channel newly acquired. Quality reading is really low and in the red all the way through the other TPs so far. Just 5% normally.

Up to 70% of the band scanned. Nothing more yet.

All done, that took a long time!

Only one new channel.

As soon I get my tax refund, then I am upgrading the H to H motor to get these exotic bird past 61* W by going little more to the east.

Just wondering, does any stations from Mexico, show any skin flicks?:

Iceberg,

See the attached map for the signal from 45.0W Intelsat 1R, Ku TP 11.629 H (Pueblovision Canal 36).

If a person can trust Lyngsat EIRP charts then I am near the 49.9 dBW contour where it crosses the NE/IA border so I should be able to detect it, but I don't have a universal LNBF and even if I try to fool the system, it won't pick up any signal.
