I had it last night, and today I get all the other stuff on 129w, but no White Springs. Is it me or is it down? TIA!
Is White Springs down?

Thanks! I just checked back and it is on here too. I have noticed sometimes when I go there it takes awhile before I get a signal. It must have been a loooong delay tonight! Anyone knows why that happens?
Wish I new the answer for you Larry? My Pansat usually sits on White Springs when it's turned off, but not always. About once a week (or so), when I cut the Pansat on, it shows signal strength and picture for a brief second and then disappears, and nothing. A few times I impatiently used the switch on the back of the Pansat for a reset (reboot). Eventually I noticed it (the dish) was moving and I watched it. It went to what looked like TS (true south) and then returned to IA7 and White Springs. I have no Idea why it does this? I'm just glad it only does it about once a week. When it does this, it's not a reboot, just a reset. If it rebooted, it would show "b70" on the front of the receiver, which it doesn't do.
I have noticed what you're talking about on AMC6, with the channel from California. Sometimes it will be right on it, but mostly I have to leave it on it for a few seconds or longer, and it comes in. That Law Enforcement channel on G11 (I think) does this too. I guess that sometimes it just takes a little longer for digital to read the message in the codecs to decypher the message so we can get a picture and sound. But I don'r know?

Were you getting other programing on that transponder or on another transponder on that satellite. If it was one transponder that was giving you trouble, try changing the frequency by 1 or 2 each way (+/-) to see if it locks in more reliably.
