Satmex 5

[SatPhreak]

I know what you mean Ice, I've not gotten anything ku on any of the Mexican sats. Last thing I saw was a few analog channels on c band around 2000-01 but most of them were going DVB then and I didn't have a DVB receiver then or a ku dish. Now I don't have a c-band dish anymore but the beams might still reach me. According to lyngsat I'm out of the ku beam on both of them, and you are near its northern edge. Even with a 10' dish at the time they were the weakest c-band sats I could still get but they were new sats with different beams that replaced the older ones that I could get fine. Not really a huge miss for me since I don't understand spanish, but it was nice to catch a few NFL games that I couldn't find elsewere at the time.

I can get C-Band pretty good on the 6 footer but KU is just kaput. The 2 channels at 12024 & 12028 I get at 63-64 on the coolosat (threshold) but 1/2 FEC makes it work just fine
