Upadated satellite lists

[weighman]

Hello, Im very new here and was wondering if anyone can help me find an
updated satellite list for FTA birds. I have a Captive Works CW 700 which has
some old transponder settings (when compared to Lyngsat).
I am getting my system ready tonight and tomorrow so I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Here is an excellent starting point

Welcome to Satellite Guys !!!

Go to "The List"

SatelliteGuys.US - TheList

If you have any questions just ask.

Amazing!

Thank you for that link. I will have to get familiar with this forum and do alot of reading.
That list is great. Couldnt find anything so complete anywhere else.

Awsome site.

If you have to add TPs to find an active one on the bird you're seeking, The List has the symbol rate. Unfortunately, I don't think the FEC is included. Blind scan works of course, but you need at least one active TP before blind scan to make sure you're pointing correctly at the bird.

most receivers don't need the FEC and if it does you can set it to auto and it works just fine

All's well

Thanks to all your help, I have now set up the SG2100 and correctly picked up every FTA bird between 91W and 148W. Thanks! Especially like Ku AMC 4: my wife is from the Netherlands and BVN allows her to watch many programs from Holland and Belgium. She isnt as home sick now as she was! Thanks again.

Glad its all working....I know on the radio side there are a few BVN stations on same satellite
