If they stay in DVB-S I may have to swing the 90cm Primestar at 83 w. I'll have to wait and see what happens with signal etc before I do it though. Need my RTN fix :)

I manage to lock it in on RTN East and West feeds, at 48 to 50 percent signal strenth.

The western TV show are same program on East and west feeds.

Thats on a Coolsat 5000 where 63 is threshold ;)

Ouch... that means on the Pansat 15Q. They may just be using a small uplink dish to illuminate currently. Thats probably why Gas wanted a 1 meter to test with. If they crank the juice a bit my 90cm Pstar should do good. That dish does kick butt, blows my 84cm ADTH away It can't see 123 or the west arc because of my house on the Pstar but from about 115w its fully clear south and southeast so AMC-9 will be a cakewalk.

Finally got them in on my Pansat 3500 on the 10 footer.

The two channels are both stable at 30% SQ.

It was very foggy and drizzly this morning earlier, and now it has cleared up. :)

My 1.2 meter fortec with a invacom quad is getting 72% quality on my CS5000. That is with a 4x4 switch inline and i am getting no picture breakup at all. I am located in southeast Florida.

Well it might help if I were to put my NJR PLL .7db LNB on that dish. :)

Right now I have a Viasat (NJR made) 1.0db PLL LNB running on it. The PLL LNBs show a little lower signal, but what you have is rock solid. :D
