I believe that RTV is down due to bad storms. Anyone know if the feed through local affiliates are down too?

Well.... I punched in your suggested transponder to locate 83W, 12140 V 30000 which is a data transponder and I got a solid 46%. When I entered the coordinates for RTV ( 11735 H 4440), nothing. Perhaps I need to adjust the LNB. This is the only channel I'm not receiving, getting everything else on all other sats.

RTV signal is lost with heavy rain here, 31-inch dish.
I have one of my Winegard 76cm Ku dishes on 83w for the RTN/RTV feeds. It is painstakingly adjusted for the best possible signal. Reception is perfect at 90- 95%Q most of the time, but quality will drop to 65- 70% with heavy overcast. Rain will cause intermittent "blocking" of video at 45-50%Q, and heavy rain will cause loss of usable signal at around 30-40% on the CNX Mini receiver.
The NBC feed will max the Q meter here on this setup, and it will remain viewable even when the weaker RTV signal is blocked by weather.
I am at 46N Lat. 116W Lon.
