I'd love to listen to this channel, but I get "searching for signal...", although 860 and 862, as well as the other audio channels, are fine. Dish is very well peaked, 100% on some transponders, no problems on any other channels I watch. I reset the receiver, no help. I do not know which satellite/transponder this channel is on, so I can't check the signal strength on that individual one. Any idea's?

It comes in fine here. Is it only available with certain packages? What package do you have?

BTW, thanks for pointing this channel out. With a name like Pump I would have never tuned to it thinking it was a techno station. They are currently playing Foreigner - Hot Blooded.

I assume I have this one, went through a bunch of the music channels above and below it, they are fine... just found out channel 865 Piano, searching too. Channel 870 searching, was cutting in and out a moment ago. Hard to believe dish pointing, I get 100% on 8 TP's on the 101 sat. All else on that one is 0 or 94 or higher.

Is there a chart out there that shows which transponder/satellite an individual channel is on, so I can check signal strength on it?

And again, the bergman steps up to the plate.

BTW, before someone accuses my of arse kissing, keeping in mind I do not kiss arse. I do make a point of acknowledging people when they are helpful. I do so at restaurants, with customer service, at stores, with public servants, friends, families, ex. (You should have seen me thanking the police officers when they were able to find the stuff that was stolen from my classroom and put the bast turds in jail.)

OK - all of the channels on the 119 list are searching, but system info & test screen says Slimline-5 dish, believe LNB is AU9. Channel 870, on the 119 list, cuts in and out. On 119 satellite, TP 23 is at 75%, all others are either N/A or zero.

I get 861 fine, thanks for the info btw, 865 says "channel now purchased" must be in a higher package, I have TC+, could be in the Choice pack.
870 comes in fine.
