Only one person showing as spot beam? Nice 88 signal!

Yes, it is. I was pleasantly surprised. lst time ever that I remember even having a signal on tp 3. I am northeast of the center of the beam according the maps I have seen.

 

[brownover]

That spotbeam is Raleigh DMA???

Raleigh, Greensboro, Greenville-Washington-New Bern

As of today... nope. Otherwise you'd have a ton of 61.5 folks upset.

[JohnH]

Well, as of today, there are still reports coming in and it certainly appears to be relevant. Something is rotten in "errr" the southeast.

lol. I am in the southeast but I don't smell anything. Probably because I am on 129 and not 61.5.

 

[digiblur]

When I read that it was just one person with no one else complaining... it starts to carry more weight that it isn't an equipment problem when several users are having the same issue.

What does it mean if there is signal strength with "Name Not Acquired?

That means, DVR took the reading from adjusted transponder, usually from next (N+2) same polarity tpn.

Using specrum analyzer ( check my posts ) will give you real signal info - so, today you could safely exclude from attemtps to get signal/lock on non-transmitting tpns: 1,3,7,15 . They could change status next Monday or soon.

Last month Dish begin activating SB capability of E12 and marked tpns: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 as SpotBeam type.

Other four tpns just plain dead and do not show any activity: 4,6,26,28 and not define in system tables (NIT).

IC, thanks for the info. Way above my head. Keep up the good work Smith, P.

Take a look on that pictures of 61.5W signals - I posted a few of them last week. Pretty easy to recognize patterns .

Area: 22003 (Washington DC DMA)
61.5 Dish Type: 500
Receiver: 625 (new signal strength)

01 - 62 (wrong sat 110)
03 - 69 (wrong sat 119)

As of 8PM Mar 8, transponders 1 and 3 took a dive to around 31/37, and 3 shows spotbeam and the correct sat. I have a 311 that claims 1 is a spotbeam as well, but still thinks it's the wrong sat (110).
