My motorized system is tracking. I've got good signal quality on most of the transponders on AMC3 @ 87W. I did a blind FTA scan on my receiver. I manually entered 12145 H 4340 (may have been 4344) and got good signal quality there. But after I did the TP scan for FTA channels, nothing came up. I don't understand why I couldn't get Montana PBS. Also, 11736 V 6104 comes in strong, but I can't pick up the MTA channel. Can't seem to get the other PBS channels either. Help, please.
 
$ means PAY

Sometimes if you scan ALL or $, FTA channels will pop in that would not otherwise during a FTA scan.
 
Both at around 74 signal Quality here! (Traxis DBS 3500/Invacom QPH-031 + 36" dish)

Try...

12112 / H /14022 for the PBS channels! (AC3 audio)

I get the Montana PBS as listed on lyngsat, you may have to try a Pid / Advanced scan by manually adding the PIDS.
 
All coming in tonight with the usual signal strengh, Montana is strong. The feeds and HD are OK now although they were weak earlier.
For some reason it can sometimes be hard to get a lock on these stations even with good signal strengh
 
The 12164 TP was up for 2 days after...once with same programming and 2nd day with a slate

Left Thursday night
 
All coming in good tonight
Why are the best stations allways the hardest to get , Murphy's law of FTA.
I had to go to a 1 meter dish to get all the feeds, although the only one thats really realible is Montana.
 
yep. Montana PBS coming in strong here in MN :)
the others are a little weak but that seems to be normal with a smaller dish
