44. 3718/V/26999 CANAL 23

 

[chaskuchar]

hmmm. i don't know how that line i had after i signed off got in there but it is not valid. i did have about 54 channels on satmex5 before i deleted them and the transponders before the blind scan. charlie

 

[skysurfer]

wow, your counts are off. There are 48 signals (single locks that are DVB-S or DVB-S2) that form 97 channels. You only show like 45 channels and probably 11 signals if I counted right.

 

[FaT Air]

[chaskuchar]

thanks air. will add those transponders and scan see it i can see them. my bil has a ten foot channel master laying face down on his farm. that is my next project. maybe. charlie

 

[chaskuchar]

fat air,

scanned satmex6 again and added 4 channels. i got mayavision and teleforula and added two new ones.
3824/v/4198 first_service
3775/v/2082 Ch-3. that one had a low signal level and had @superchannel 22 on the lower right of the screen. pretty gal is talking about cooking something. haven't figured it out yet.

with the other you had, i added the transponders and scanned them in right away. curious though, all these are Vertical. it might be that i need to set my lnb differently? anxious to get the microhd and see what the blind scan brings in. i have 26 tp's now and 24 channels on satmex6. charlie

 

[chaskuchar]

skysurfer, i added all the tp's from the 'list'. before i did that i scanned 46 channels. after i added the tp's, i now scan 23 channels. hmmmm. that was with a blind scan. then i went to the preset scan. i get 39 channels. since i kept the channels i had with the first blind scan i have a total of 59 channels now. i do see there are some duplicates like SOY GUERRERO. charlie

 

[chaskuchar]

skysurfer, i'm up to 67 channels now on satmex5. added tps, removed tp's, and edited the firmware to get the tp's in order for vertical and horizontal. but one problem. i scanned once with no tp's and i got a catholic religious indication of something about mary. should have written it down because after editing and changing i can't find in now again and it's not in sathints or the list. charlie

after adjusting my 7.5' and inputting any transponder from sathint that showed signal that i didn't have before i scanned again. now i have 73 fta channels. this was a good learning experience in how blind scans don't get all the tp's. one of the tp's i put in from sathint had a low sq but scanned in 12 tv channels and they were holding ok while viewing. sq was varying between 10 and 30 so the blind scan probably didn't see it. l am waiting patiently for the new micro hd to hook up. one thing i thought about is using my 6' and dsr200c to see how many channels are there on satmex5. i can get the blind scan with it to be 2k apart. might be a good project for this afternoon. my 6 gallons of beer is not settled enough to bottle so i have free time... charlie

 

[Vondertrenk]

Chaskuchar, you may want to add to Satmex 6 @113 W all the Azteca Channels avilable at:
3900H 30,000. I am watching them with an Openbox S9 and an Ariza 1.2 mt dish with a 621 LNBF ( the 22KHz) version. Even though their ID show up as scrambled ($) they are open.

Dear Gents,

For years now, I have been trying to see "Inter Russia" on SatMex 5 at 4123 H 1790 2 / 3. Lyngsat has been showing this channel, and some other services have been showing it too. Others have not been able to see it, evidently, because they do not show it. Maybe the broadcaster has changed its "footprint." I used to be able to see it with my ten-foot mesh antenna, my DSR-920, and my Pansat 9200HD.

Has anyone been able to see it, perhaps along our southern border?

Thanks.

Gordon

 

[rv1pop]

two OT.. are any of these channels English?

and Gordon, I thought Corbett was on I-84 at MP 22 not on the coast! {;<0)
