Is ONN on 74.0W Broadcasting Today?

[jsattv]

I can usually pick up Ohio News Network (ONN) every day. But today I'm not even getting a signal! Is it off the air? Or maybe I need to re - tune my dish as it was only coming in at 10 to 25% Q Level lately.

 

[GMFreak8]

Yeah, I'm curious too. I use ONN to tune my dish, and no matter how hard I tried today, I couldn't get anything. It would explain why....

 

[thiggin2]

I couldn't get it the other day when I was doing some scanning. I was wondering what happened to it myself.

 

[GMFreak8]

I was able to get it saturday when I was trying to get my dish setup, but haven't been able to since then. What am I supposed to do, now that it is possibly gone, and SBS6 is my true south satellite? Makes it hard to tune a dish in.

 

[thiggin2]

I just did a scan and found ONN.

SBS6
11734 H 6620

I am picking it up as 11733 H 6.616 , lower than usual.

 

[GMFreak8]

Why are they messing with the location all of a sudden?

 

[qwert1515]

SBS6 74 Degrees West is supposed to be replaced soon, maybe they had some technical difficulties.

Where'd you hear that it's gonna be replaced? How soon?

 

[qwert1515]

From a previous post here.

SBS 6

and if you scroll down this one it has a little bit of information.

Galaxy 17 to Replace SBS 6?

 

[GMFreak8]

Interesting. Maybe they're getting ready to do the switch over?

 

[GMFreak8]

Hmm, interesting. Maybe they're in the process of switching?

SBS 6 is now Galaxy 17, all the TP's are going to be different than the other SBS 6, if you have a 4dtv, the B6 tile will not function anymore until Motorola updates the maps which is not likely.

So a rescan should fix the problem.

Getting it here at 11734 H 6616

I am getting it at 11733H 6616
Do we know for sure Galaxy 17 is up and running ? I am getting ONN at a 78 on the Coolsat. A bit higher then I usually do.

 

[scottc98]

If it is G17 now, does anyone know if they plan on any Cband there? And isn't this a temp bird?

 

[Mr Tony]

its a temp bird until Horizons 2 gets there. Then G17 will go and replace G11

 

[scottc98]

Thats right....I though I saw that somewhere on the forum. I do wonder if any provider will take advantage until the move. 74deg is pretty isolated from other Cband birds (very little at AMC6)

I am still pulling in ONN on 11744 H 6616 on my Pansat 3500 with the Birdview. Didn't rescan, just moved the dish over there, and it came in at it's usual 90% SQ.

I did however lose ONN in the Coolsat on the motorized Primestar dish and had to rescan, and it came in on 11733 H 6616.

So how do we account for that? Unless they are running side by side, or very close proximity.

I noticed earlier that lyngsat was reporting it at 73 degrees and SBS 6 at 74 degrees, just letting you know.
