What bird am I aimed to??

Trying to lock in 137W but not having luck this late at night, can't see the dish. Is 139 the one with a ton of radio channels on it? I was scanning around 3760 and the rec started sucking in radio channels by the dozen. I don't think I can see 139 from here-never have before because of the trees. Does 137 also have lots of radio on it? The hockey game will be over before I can find gci, lol.

From what I have seen talked about yes there are tons on 139. I can't see that far though.

I'll have to fix it tomorrow, had removed my actuator a while back and lost all my c-band positions. Had gotten to 135 reprogramming them in, but quit there. I might have a tree grown up in the way of it since the last hockey game of last season! Saw-time.

Yep I have a nice saw that I am not afraid to use. I dropped a tree back in the summer that was wider that my 24" bar, big ole oak. I had to do the back and forth thing to cut the notch and then to make the final cut.....but just had to see what all the talk was about on 58 and 55.5.( and no this was after the free porn popped up)

FInally got it! Had the skew off bad so it wasn't seeing the signal. FOund some other freebies there too, hehe.

Luken mux is there too (the west coast and Hawaii feeds)

The Alaska mux signal was real low last night....barely above threshold. The Micro showed 60-63 but the Coolsat showed 64 (barely above threshold) and the Geosat 200 showed 40 (also threshold)

So the Micro has a stronger tuner

I got to see the last 1:11 of the game ,haha. Noticed they still haven't put the sound on both channels though, but that is easily fixed. Have to go back and scan that entire sat too, last night I just got the gci stuff and quit the scan.

yeah its funny.
The bulletin board channel has both audio yet the feed (which shows as CH 9...says "coming up...hockey" is left audio only

Also Ch9 has no commercials (black space) while CH7 has commercials
