Help finding AMC 15

[boomer_106]

Guys, I am trying to find and lock this satellite. I never had it programmed into my analog receiver and, with nothing being on it analog anymore I am having trouble.

Here's what I have done. I called up the adjacent satellite at 103*. Now I know I'm between 103 and anik at 107.3. I move to the middle of those. I bring up the antenna menu on my DVB receiver and have no quality on any transponder. I tap the dish east and west with no changes. I see two wildfeeds posted that are supposed to be up right now. One is

AMC 15 Ku Tr 8 Horizontal 11860 Mhz SR 30000 the other is

AMC 15
FR 11828
SR 13250
Horizontal

So I program those freq in, go through playing with the dish postion again. Nothing


I use Icebergs settings in the " I need a strong transponder post". Still no luck. What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to go about this? Even blind scan does nothing for me

11840 V 26000 is active. That has the "you have a dish at 105" test card.

dish? I don't need a dbs lnb for that? At any rate I'm trying it with no luck. Am I doing the right thing by tapping the dish and retrying scans? I'm very green to the fta side of things. Do you see the sports feeds I posted Ice?

105 is linear so you should get it

Try tp: 12160

Vertical

SR: 26.000

don't scan just lock on that one live transponder ( like 11840 V ) and adjust the dish small increments until you get a signal.

Man I don't get it. Following the advice of all of you and nothing. I tried 107.3 for the heck of it and, was able to lock 3 feeds on that satellite so it would seem I know what I'm doing but, nothing for AMC 15

 

[Mr Tony]

I know its there. I leave the test card in my channel list just to make sure its there

 

[boomer_106]

Thanks Iceberg. I have no idea what is up. I guess I'll have to have another go at it tomorrow night. I'm getting zilch

if the analog receiver is on change the channel one up or down maybe its controling the polarity
