Scattered odd and even transponders missing

[kcoleman]

I have a 3 LNB antenna and I have some transponders missing such as 1 & 8; 13 and 16 on the 101° satellite. Same issue with the 119° feed. All others are strong. Any suggestions?

It's perfectly normal to have some transponders with low or zero signal, on the 101/119 satellites. That's because those are spotbeams delivering SD locals, and the beams are pointed at other cities.
If you are not getting 771 searching for signal messages on any of your channels then don't worry about it.

I agree with the spot beam suggestion, except those listed by the OP aren't spot beams. The TPs on 101 that are spot beams are 4, 12, 18, 20, 26, & 28. I believe the spots on 119 are 23, 25, 29, and 31.

You are of course correct, I didn't look at the specific transponder numbers he mentioned. If those are zero then yes there's a problem...
