Can anyone confirm this signal or any FTA receivable signal on 31.5w?

Can't confirm it as I currently only go to 55.5W but Satbeams shows signal reaching into eastern/central US. http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?lat=0&lng=0&zoom=1&beam=6337&type=normal&name=Temporary

I also can't get 'that low' but it's not listed on sathint.
lyngsat has it with an update date of 140719 (July 7 '14)
Probably too weak to see anyway @ my location.

34.5 is my limit on C Band, but Lyngsat agrees with what you have at 31.5.

Well, I pushed it down to 22w today. I successfully locked channels on :

34.5w
27.5w
22w

So, i will update my signature to show i scan scan 22w-139w .
I thought about pushing it down to 20w, but i decided not to push my luck any further today.

In the 30w range, African channels. 22w has a handful of Portuguese channels. I don't know what qualifies as interesting?? 37.5 was the last bird where i got a VERY strong signal. 97% signal quality and that was also that last Horizontal/Vertical. When i went further East than that, i popped in the Dielectric Plate.

Was gonna ask this, but I read it on the last line.
