LPB on SES2 Right Now?

[cyberham]

I'm swinging the Ku dish again. I have strong signals on 11757 but nothing from the Patient Channel or LPB. Are they gone?

Getting 11.3 dB on Patient Channel and 11.8 dB on LPB right now using a Winegard 76cm-

Good to know. I assume they are on the usual transponders. Then it's back to fine tuning. I know I can receive them if they're there.

It helps to be on the correct satellite! LPB is 71%. My single satellite choice since I have motor right now.

SES2 is a strange bird for me. The signals flux alot on it. Sometimes I can be hitting LPB as high as 80 pct while only getting the Florida channel at 30 pct and Florida lotto at 5 pct! Right now the lotto is clpse to 20 pct and Florida Channel 52 pct while LPB is in the low 30s! Go figure! Strange bird signal wise for me, may be the sun.

This afternoon the Florida Channel is the strongest and most stable averaging about 55%. Next is LPB and then the Lottery channel at about 30% or so. But lots of fluctuations in the % quality though this doesn't affect visual reception. I bet things return to more stable this evening as they were last night. Maybe the heat of the day affects?

The heat of the day can affect it, as well as the size of the dish, your location in the footprint, and also weather conditions at the uplink-
