Transponder signal

11708 85%

Not sure about 12020, tried changing polarity, frequency +- three MHz, and changed bitrate up and down a few but no signal at all here.

Hope that helps..

Thanks to everyone who assisted with the signal readings on the Ku-band AMC 2/4 satellite. Our staff has randomly selected one member, who submitted a reading, to receive a very special thank you gift!

The results were very helpful in determining the performance of the AMC 2 satellite on 11860. SES has confirmed that the transponder could not remain on AMC4 for technical reasons related to the solar array failures previously reported in 2008. The transfer of the transponder to AMC 2 resulted in reduced performance of 11860. A replacement satellite is expected to be in place during Q4 2009, but many of the affected broadcasters are unable to support their markets with the degraded signal until a new bird is placed in position. Several broadcasters are now in the process of transitioning to other platforms.

Gospel Music Television Network is transitioning from AMC 2, 11860 to Galaxy 19, transponder 23, 12.115GHz and will be simulcasting the feeds for at least the next month. Plans for the other Christian networks on AMC 2 11860 have not yet been finalized.

So who won and what did they win? Our staff has randomly selected SatelliteGUys member, Elder to receive a GEOSATpro 90cm dish and a GEOSATpro SL2 Bullet dual output LNBF including free shipping. A PM has been sent requesting your shipping information.

:clap Congratulations! :clap
