What signals can you "see" at 61.5?

[LER]

LER, can you cover your 110/119 LNB? Might not be a leak...

Not easily (2 story house )

Sorry.

 

[tempVAdish]

I've had CHANGES!!!!

All, have new changes to xpndr readings @ 61.5

Also all receivers have updated software: My 311's now have P431 (new signal meter #'s that match my 622) and my 622 is up to L449

xpndr changes:
01 23% (wrong sat, 110) see note below
06 61% name not aq'rd
07 37% name not aq'rd
15 36% name not aq'rd
28 38% name not aq'rd

All the above showed no lock 1 week ago. I did the foil trick on 110 & 119 and maintained the signals, moved the foil to my 61.5 dish & they went away.... Hmmmm

How many time I should post spectrogram and Mike/rocatman links to a status of the sats/tpns ?

AGAIN: tp4, 6, 26, 28 are DEAD ! Forget about the tpns' measures. They are meaningless.

Transponders 1-32 100% 61.5 AMC-14 West










Just kidding. lol

 

[brownover]

Now receiving spotbeam signal on tp 1, locked echostar 61.5 west. Strength is 82. Eastern NC

 

[HokieEngineer]

Yup, confirmed. TP1 is now reporting correct transponder information, and the miami local HD channels are gone. Only null packets now.

Spotbeam signal much lower than conus TPs.

PAT Version Number: 0
Transport Stream ID: 1501 (0x05dd)
NIT: 61.5W 12.224 GHz RHCP 21500 2/3 8PSK (DVB-DSNG/Turbo/DVB-S2), DVB-S

PMT PID 16 (0x0010) - Network
PMT PID 32 (0x0020) - Program 5150
PMT PID 32 (0x0020) - Program 5151
PMT PID 32 (0x0020) - Program 5152
PMT PID 32 (0x0020) - Program 5153

Those channels aren't even in the main tables yet

TP 7,9,13,15 disappeared here in the east.

Edit: Added spectrums from 61.5 and 129 for comparisions.

I hear that Philly and DC locals will change to spotbeam mode very soon on TP 5 and TP 11.

 

[mike123abc]

TP 15 now reports Locked 61.5 with Spotbeam, strength 77.

It is the only one that reports spotbeam now.

Here are the latest BLSA scans for Echostar 61.5 from San Jose, CA.

I previously had no signal on Transponders 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 15, 26, and 28. Now, Transponders 9 and 13 have no signals also.

TP 15 now reports Locked 61.5 with Spotbeam, strength 77.

It is the only one that reports spotbeam now.

Here in northern Indiana, I see SpotBeam 01 at 9-10, which doesn't allow my 211 to lock in. 15 is still a no-show here.

 

[digiblur]

Here we go guys... TP 5 and 11 just dropped here and the uplink report reflects the change to beam.

Can anyone verify on the east coast?

 

[Smith P.]

West Coast lost half of odd tpns: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 !

Yeah, i have 1505 and 1511 at 76 and 74 on TSReader. The ConUS was in the low 60s area.

 

[JohnH]

1509 comes in at 72. It has no channels at this time.

 

[JohnH]

1513 is 84. No Channels

625 in northern VA. I am now reading "spotbeam" on transponders 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, and 13. Tp 13 gives the highest signal strength I've ever seen: 94 on the new scale. It also behaves anomalously. 1st it says locked - (blank) with "spotbeam" where "transponder" was. Then it says name not acquired. Finally the "spotbeam" goes back to "transponder". Hmmm. Maybe they're changing things as I type this?

Edit: Still 0 on transponders 7 and 15. I see some folks (west of here?) are seeing 15.

 

[mike123abc]

01 - 79 Locked NNA
03 - 50 Locked NNA
05 - 81 Locked NNA
07 - 82 Locked NNA
09 - 0
11 - 0
13 - 75 Locked NNA
15 - 74 Locked 61.5w

Only 2 TPs have dropped out in N. TX so far. But, signal strength has gone way up on 1,5,7,13,15.

this is getting exciting, I live in eastern VA & i'll have to see what i have tonight & compare to you!

 

[Smith P.]

For whole day monitoring we got dead odd tpns 1-3-5-7-9-11-13-15 here. No single bleep.

 

[ncted]

For me in Durham, NC, TP 3 no longer changes to Spotbeam. What the heck is going on?
