I hope this is not a fluke, but I just pulled in a bunch of Luken channels (32 of them) on 87.0°W C-Band, 4000H 29125SR, S2, 8PSK FEC 5/6 using my 6ft WSI bargain dish. The signal is between 58% and 65% quality.:eek:

8 am and the signal is still slamming here in northeast pa.
i dont have 87 in the center lnb slot and it still comes in great. hope it stays also.
I was ever so close to moving that lnb somewhere else...
 
Yea!!!:D After a long drought of not getting RTV on c-band i scanned it on 4000 with my solomend with a good sig Q of 72. Looks like ill stick with my solomend for awhile since my AZbox ultra wont pick it up.
 
Well, something must be horribly wrong, so we can only hope they fix it soon so we can all go back to the lousy signals on 87.... lol..k, J/K
 
sometimes i wonder if theres something wrong with that satellite at 87w! had a strong sig with rtv at 4000 and now its very crappy.Dosnt seem to be just rtv because other tps like the weathernation which was a good sig earlier is now pretty poor.87w signals have been playing hide and seek with me for years now.
 
I am getting it, but not enough to watch it.. Signal quality keeps bouncing from 10% to 80% up and down... up and down.
 
I got my 7.5' mesh up and running last night and 87w was booming on 4000 H 29125 with RTV programs. I could not get the 3920 H mux for some reason. Also, with the c-band LNB I was getting 11900 H 29125 with the RTV mux, not sure how or why that could happen. After about 2 hours it all went away. No joy. Still can't lock on to 3920 H.
 
I knew it was too good to be true! Well, it was sweet while it lasted.

C-band LNBs cannot receive KU-band frequencies. You simply made a mistake and selected the wrong LO frequency before blindscanning.

5150 - 4000 = 1150 IF
11900 - 10750 = 1150 IF

Read the LNB FAQ if you are interested in LNB LO settings.
 
People how are bouncing around what are you using? ESX-241/242, BSC-421/422 etc....

I wonder if this will be like BYU on 91 may have to bust out some norsat dro or PLL tech.
