| | | Anik F3 C Band what's working?
I'm getting 65% quality on Freq 3920H, yet Im not able to lock in the Univison/Telefutura channels, does anyone know if these channels need manual PID entry like the CW @ 91? Ive checked out lyngsat and The List and have tried to enter the PIDs but I get a black screen despite the aforementioned quality, anyone have any ideas as to what might be up?

the mux scans in fine (no man pid entry).
Who knows why you are having issues - it could be too small of c-band dish (with nearby satellite interference to the desired signal), it could be the wrong sat, it might be you aren't on the satellite properly which could also lead to nearby satellite interference issues, it might be not enough signal strength to lock if you don't have a sensitive tuner, etc.

Scans in for me too, I don't know where I am in their footprint map but a 10' c=band is the biggest dish I have too.

My 9200HD would not scan the channels in and I had to manually enter PIDS. Could be some sort of interference from one of the other satellites in that location.

Reason: reflect location and dish size

NW Nevada 12' Dish | I think that's what's happening with my Coolsat, when I blind scan F3 I get RFDTV HD and JEWELRYTV HD which are channels @ 121 NOT 119

Looks like you are one satellite to far west. The satellites I was referring to as causing interference are the echo and direct TV satellites located at 119 along with F3
