    Best transponders to peak to?

    ADVERTS 1
    I need to repeak my dishes. What are the best transponders to peak to at 61.5, 110, 119 and 129? Thanks!

    Good question! I would assume you would want to tweak to the lowest tp's.

    Perhaps I am sugesting the same thing as "iafirebuff" but what I would focus on is to try to increase the signal strength of the lowest TPs instead of getting an extremely high signal on a single TP. In doing this, you do need to know which TPs have the programming that you receive. For example, you are going to get low or no signal on spotbeam TPs not in your area. If you don't get HD or have a MPEG-4 receiver, some TPs will also have a zero signal. You may want to check this website to determine which TPs provide you with programming:

    Are those the transponders with the strongest or weakest signals? Thanks.

    These are called home transponders bc if dish is peaked to get strongest signal to these transponders you will then have the best avg. signal strenth through out all other transponders located on that sat.

    Another site to check would be the LyngSat site. It will give you a list of which stations are on which Sat and transponder.
