Is there anything alive on I-9 bird at 58*W?

[N5XZS]

I have no problem picking up Amazona bird at 61*W, but however I can't lock on anything on I-9 bird at 58*W on KU band and my GEOSAT HD seamed to sniff something is out there but won't lock on it!

I may have to reajust the dish or LNB.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

There is a barker channel from SKY on 12060 V 30000 DVB-S

I have the same situation as N5XZS, good on 61W, nothing on 58W on my Azbox. Is 12060 scrambled? I track good from 61W to 125W.

There are two barker channels (advertising SKY) that are not scrambled on 12060, the rest of the channels are scrambled.

Thanks qwert1515. I'll try for it again later....

Isn't that beam out of the footprint for most of the US?

I can't get a sniff of it here in the Denver area...

Yes, northgeorgia, I think we are out of the footprint....

Even Georgia is too far north. I can get this bird in south Florida but even at that signal quality is only about 36% on my AzBox with 1.2m dish.

(You guys aren't missing much. There are 4 FTA barker channels for a Mexican pay-tv service and that's about it.)

Since some months ago this satellite has reduced the footprint On KU band in USA area..Only some regions close to Border of mexico has some signal with 1.2 mts or 1.8 mts..The new satellite 21 is on the space right now and is under testing by the intelsat so we are waiting for the new Footprint to see if USA are has any Luck..
If you want to get a Fun You can still get the intelsat 16 on Tp 11740 V to see the Free Fox HD on your HD receiver..
