Horizons 2

[Diamond Jim]

Are there any hot FRs on Horizons 2 that can be used to use to aim the dish. I haven't been there much since ONN left.

Diamond Jim,

I do not find any consistent channels here, all are sporadic feeds. Currently, I only detect one active TP:

12060 V 27692 KS/s FEC 2/3 @ 83%Q

RADAR

12060 V 27692

thats a 24/7 data feed. I've used that TP many times to aim the dish at 74W

If it is 24/7, then that WOULD be good TP to utilize for pointing. Thanks Ice!

Like Jim mentioned, since ONN left, I also haven't visited this sat much. Just once in a great while when I am curious if anything has changed. Hard to keep up on what is currently active if you don't go there.

74W mainly has sports feeds and once in a while a news feed (a couple news feeds are in S2 also).

They use to be "the" satellite for sports feeds....until 91W overtook it

Frequencies.

12060 V 27692 KS/s FEC 2/3 @ 83%Q RADAR

Thanks AC, Ice, I am headed in to try it out now.

Yes, I remember. A lot of college hockey games. Miami of Ohio was a regular.

Okay guys, I found the 12060, 27692, V signal, but.........by my calculations I am on the posiion for AMC 6 Ku. The reason I say this because I only have to bump it a few clicks to get AMC 6 C band and Saturday night there was an Indiana State game posted on AMC 6 Ku and this is the same position I found it at.

Jim,

You might have to adjust the symbol rate that I posted. That was what my AZBox Premium Plus captured from a blind scan and it might be offset slightly from the official SR.
It would probably work fine, but if you have any troubles I would check this setting first. I don't see thi TP listed on Lyngsat or SatBeams, possibly because it is a data feed TP, so I don't know what the official SR is. It should probably function just fine with a small error here, just be aware of it.

I think I found 74 Lake shore PTV color bars 11747H 6110 my dish could use some tuning but I have a picture. Quality 37 percent.
Feed just dropped out at 3:58 EST.

Just missed it

The Traxis is pretty accurate with other receivers, so I figure the feed was gone. I will keep playing with it. I am sure someone will post a game on H2, then I'll nail it. Thanks guys.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Found it. I forgot that there was 5 degree spacing between H2 and AMC5. I was looking for the usual 2 degrees. This development now makes the 12060 V 27692 data feed good on H2, as Radar and Ice said. Now I got to figure out AMC6 C and Ku. Thanks guys.

UPDATE: 2 degree spacing is approx 34 clicks on my 922. I went exactly 34 clicks to the east of H2 and nailed the NBC mux on AMC 6. The C band is a little off from the Ku position, so I will mess with that tomorrow. The only thing that can make this better is Purdue beating Ohio State. Go Boilers.
