RTN 83W lost signal

[SATisfied]

I just lost signal on RTN. Can someone verify this for me? Thanks.

Something weird going on.....it shows when I first lock on it, then immediately loses signal & goes black....any ideas?

I've got 69-70% on the Coolsat 6000 right now and I'm watching it just fine here.

Sounds like like a switch may be dying?
The Coolsat switch I got with my 5000 died in a similar fashion.

Would switch for part of a second then go to port 1.

Yup its fine here in NE Ohio. A-Team and Adam-12

I guess that's a possibility, but I'm not having any problems on any other sats. If the switch was bad, wouldn't it remain bad on any sat?

Did you look at his post time? He started this at 5:49PM or something like that ... I doubt THAT would have been his problem.

that would depend on some angular geometry. i was only making an observation.

For some reason, RTV is also on AMC 7 4160 H 29125 DVB-S2. I'm having trouble locking it, but it's there.

And THERE'S the rub. Not everyone (myself included) has the ability to DO -S2.

I should pay more attention. I thought this thread was about the DVB-S2 signals on AMC 3.

I can concur, it is wierd...

I did a blind scan this afternoon - no RTV (I was watching it at the time) but all kinds of encrypted channels showed up - dw (deutch welle?)audio and fair (chinese) tv? I re-scanned and only got rtv and nbc news channel.

Bleedover from 82W? Are the frequencies of the encrypted channels higher than 12200?

I just updated the software on my CS 7000 to the factory and did a blind scan of 83W and got the two RTN channels just fine. Did not find anything else but the quality on the RTN channels is good. I am getting 78 to 79 percent on the Q.

RTV coming in strong in Winnipeg.
