The transponder is 11719, not 11729. And whatever I do, I can't get it reliably in the morning hours. I specifically peaked my motorized 1m Winegard dish with QPH-031 LNB on this sat and transponder, I'm getting very high quality on pretty much every other tp, high quality on IA5 at 97 (which is supposed to mean that I have the Clarke belt nailed down). Still no reliable reception for this one. Evenings it's about 30%, but mornings it's almost out of lock. On the weekend there was heavy rain here in Alberta and I wasn't able to lock this tp at all for more than 24 hours.

beeb, sounds like your settings is off or something is blocking the dish. I have a winegard 76cm and have problems getting the tube. But, I only have a 0.6 lnb. Time to order the .3 extreme from psb.

No, I have nothing at all blocking G10R, it is close to my true south. The rest of the tps on G10R are always locked, even during this weekend's downpour. I think it is my location (Calgary), that this tp does not cover well. Any fellow Canadians from my region getting The Tube?

The transponder can be off by a number or two depending on the LNB used.
