As Nel states there's no way to get 129w, no LOS from here.

Guys I have a silly question. You can tell I'm new to this.

This was from the last uplink.

5270(13) - WMBB [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 16 Spotbeam 51 (NA)(
Panama City, FL-ABC

)
5272(7) - WJHG [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 16 Spotbeam 51 (NA)(
Panama City, FL-NBC

)
5273(28) - WPGX [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 16 Spotbeam 51 (NA)(
Panama City, FL-FOX

)

Yet when I see all your posts the highest Spotbeam is 32. How can these stations be on Spotbeam 51?

Do they add more Spotbeams?? When I go to TP 16 it changes to Spotbeam, but 32 is the highest it will go.

I thank you all in advance, just an older guy trying to learn.

Don't confuse spotbeams with transponders. 32 transponders but lots more spotbeams, go to
EKB: Dish Network Channels at 129°


to see the complete list of channels and tp's and spotbeams.

That's exactly what I did, thanks for the link and quick reply.

I appreciate you helping out.
