Guys do you know if 97.0W is broadcasting a Signal. I can see S & Q on 99.0W but nothing on 97.0W.
Do you mean Galaxy 16 which is @ 99w or Galaxy 19 which is @ 97w.
A couple of hours ago I was getting G 19 @ 97w just fine (on Ku)
Thanks DJdish I was inquiring about Galaxy 19 on KU 97.0W. I can get NO SIGNAL on BOTH my Sat Rx's on 97.0W on KU Band & Freq is set for 10750? Yet I can see a very strong S & Q when I cycle my Actuator & Dish over to Galaxy 16 - 99.0W - Freq = 5150. Very Strange!!
BTW, I don't see Classic Arts there anymore. I know it's on G17 now, but I thought it was going to be dual illumination for a while, but perhaps that ended at the first of the month or something. Or perhaps they are having some issues with the C-band side of the sat?

Jsattv,
Don't worry about this sat going off the air. If it does, you will definitely hear about it before you even realize that it is gone. It would be a major event and there would likely be quite a bit of news about it. You likely have some dish alignment or equipment issues or a setup parameter issue. Or maybe weather interference problems. Maybe a combination of more than one thing.
In the next couple of years, there may be some definite problems with all satellites as we are going into a peak time of solar activity. Solar flares and increased solar activity can create a great deal of trouble and we are headed to a maximum of peak activity in the near future.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. There isn't anything to be done and it will all pass eventually.

Radar, hope you are feeling better. I currently have no issues with 97.0W. This thread dates back to October when I had just got my new Azbox. It was opened up again yesterday by N2bnfunn (see post # 8) re his question about Dish Bolts, and has no connection with the Topic. Thanks for your concern.
