Need a hot TP

[mjac]

Trying to set up my BUD in TN. My true south satellite is the Ku sat at 84.0 W and I am having trouble finding anything there. MY Ku dish is in Florida.
Can someone give a hot TP and SR numbers to try for?

Did you look here?

Also, did you look on "The List" linked at the top of the page?

Yes and also yes.

Closest your going to get is something on 87West. Nasa is a good one....Blind

Thanks for the tip. Coincidentally I found this gem of a thread an hour or so after reading your message.

Post number 9 nails it. I'll be hunting 87.0 W

Thanks again.

actually you could use 83W since it would be closer.
Pennsylvania Cable Network is there

Actually I mis-typed the number of my TS sat. My OP should have read 85.0 W.
I was hoping to use the Ku bird there but no luck.
I have put this project on hold for now as I am returning to Fl tomorrow. I'll try for the Ku or C band stuff on either 83 or 87 when I get back to TN.
Thanks

The issue with 85W is when there is something on that satellite going they (Echostar) shuts off the TP at 12183

With cbb this weekend going on that TP will be off. Best to ask tomorrow when you're gonna go out there and we can PM or post active TP info. I know today there were 2 or 3 college basketball tourneys on all day on that sat so it would have been good to aim then

Thanks Iceberg, however I am now back in Florida for a few weeks. I will be doing my homework (reading/studying) and perhaps I'll have a better handle on this aiming stuff when I get back to the dish in TN.
I am sure I'll be in touch. I appreciate all the help.
