This satellite is a whole lot better since the newer one was put in place. Are these new channels I'm getting just put on Here or is it because I got a 1.2m dish?
SES-3

I had a 90cm on it and got NBC and only occasionally cozi with the skew being different.Now when I scan with the 1.2 I also get NHK and RT. Have they moved over to SES 3?
You are mistaken there on that.
NBC had changed out one set of channels there to a new frequency and the old one went away but not the same as on 72.0W.
Look again 12130, H,6890 Hasn't been up 100% of the time but mostly there

Duplicate of 72W NBC four channel mux that comes and goes based on need. More about it in this thread from December 2nd: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/posts/3776475/ 
It is there now.
I checked before I wrote the other comment and searched the satellite but it was not up there then, this time it came in on a scan.
Thanks for the find!
Putting up a motorized 1.2 made a big difference here too over a 1 meter . I got a lot of channels that the 1 meter wasn't pulling in. Still haven't got a pll lnbf yet, Maybe one of these days.
What would cause 11800 to scan in but nothing on 11760? Not even Cozi. Both 11800 and 11760 have the same polarity and are DVB-S2/8PSK-30000 with FEC 5/6.
When the transponder is manually added to the TP list, will it show a lock and decoding? If so, what is the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), if provided by the software?
Do you see the carrier with spectrum analyzer software?

Well, 11760 scanned in at 68 dB SNR today while 11880 scanned in at 80 SNR. I got the NBC stuff and Cozi but 68 dB isn't very good with all this video breakup going on. I would expect both muxes to be the same signal strength but I could be mistaken.
No spectrum analyzer available.
Not all transponders have the same link budget. The only thing that these transponders have in common is that they are on the same satellite. If you are interested in how a broadcaster determines their link budget, here is a great beginner's primer:

I'll look at this satellite on my system later today when I am back in the office and post up the plots.
