Those are on Galaxy 25 at 93 west....only found the follow channels azteca 7 & 13...
I'm thinking you actually hit the Nimiq at 91 west, it uses many of the same Transponders as the DishNet Sats.10' Unimesh w/ DMX741, GBox 3000, AZBox Elite, SatHawk PVR800 with Motorized Prime Focus 36" Backup.

Well, that doesn't matter. It's still a DVB stream, and my CS5K locks it just fine. Originally Posted by pro96

Proud Staff MemberBeing that close to the US/Mexico border its possible he is picking up the Echo4 (Dish Mexico) too
But as downlink mention the receiver will lock the stream if its MPEG2 or 4. When you scan channels, they will show on the radio side on a CS5000Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

Luis: Check dishpointer to see where your antenna should be, it'll give you info about the inclination you have to give it, assuming your setup it's leveled.
Cheers

luis do you have an active transponder entered in your receiver for AMC5? With the info entered, and using your linear lnbf you should be able to find the satellite. Try 12177 H 20,500SR it's a good strong signal.
