And no it’s not an s-2 signal.

chill holmes. Considering when you posted it a few of us scanned 79W and NOBODY else picked it up shows you probably are on the wrong satellite.

Couple other tidbits
-I blind scan 79 all the time looking for news and sports feeds. You say you seen this for a year yet most of us who have blind scanned 79W havent seen it. Someone SHOULD have seen it there
-you are in the Pacific NW. 79W is CONUS so we should all get it.

I bet you are on 89W and blind scanned it in. Since it matches EXACTLY what 89W shows, you're probably on 89W

Last week , I thought my system was crazy when my new receiver scanned in the NY Networks ( for years on 79W) on AMC15 @ 105W . I looked out at my dish to see what it was aimed at. I switched back to 79W ( watched the dish move) and looked for NY Networks there. Sure enough, the Mux was in both places and now we know that it is moving permanently to AMC15.
My point is that many of us scan the entire North American arc several times a week . We'd be unlikely to miss ABC News Now being on 79W. We would , as I DID, immediately question whether we had an equipment malfunction, which left us aimed at the wrong satellite, while supposedly scanning another. It happens to all of us at one time or another.

...I have been watching it here for over a year now, 24 hours a day.

If anyone did that, they would get tired, and confuse one satellite with another, possibly.

I'll bet the ABC NEWS ACQUISITION CENTER slide looks like this one...

probably harry

Well I don’t now what to say. My antenna setup shows I am on AMC5 and the box that shows channel id says AMC5 with the tp numbers I gave earlier. Is there something else on AMC5 or 89west that could try to see if I get that. The dish is stationary no motor.
Harry I have cancer so yes some times I am up for 24hours or more. Not a pity line just let you now way I actually am up for long periods. I will get some pictures this week send them. Like I said every one have a nice day.

couple transponders that would definitelly show which sat you are on

These are on 79W
12177 H 20500 9 channels that will log as "NYN X" (with X being 1-9)
11900 H 2170 KTEL Telemundo
SatelliteGuys.US - 79.0°W AMC 5 Ku

These are on 89W
11788 H 15915 BYU TV and a couple scrambled channels
11802 V 26660 scan all and you'll get 7 scrambled channels
SatelliteGuys.US - 89.0°W Galaxy 28 Ku

Westcoaster , somebody just picked the wrong satellite name once the dish was pointed. If you want to get technically correct, you can pick G28 out of the satellite menu and scan again, add it if it isn't in the list, or just "rename" the satellite name its showing now to "Galaxy28". Prayers for your recovery from the cancer.

Thanks. I will try all of this.
Have a nice day
