Info About Brasil B4 @ 84 West

Sponsored Links
Does anyone know if I can hit 84 w with an BSC621-2 LNBF?
I am also using a C Works 800 receiver with a 10 ft. C/K band dish.
Moving the dish by hand. Each time I think I am on it an scan I get a lot of media feed channels that are scrambled. But I do not get any of the channels that show on the channel list.
If my LNB is ok I must not be on the sat or maybe wrong settings.
Any Ideas?

Those channels are beamed to Brazil, so If you are not in the immediate area you will not get any of those channels listed.

That sounds like a good reason. My receiver had Brasil B3 at that location, so I thought I could just substitute and enter the transponders, by hand, and hit B4. I guess it was a good try anyway.

Thanks

Here is the footprint on B4 so you can see what area gets the most coverage.
