LPB Last Night

[PopcornNMore]

Did anyone receive LPB (DVB-S2) on AMC21 KU band last night? When I tried tuning in the British sitcoms last night there was no signal on the LPB channels. I was not a happy camper and tried for almost an hour to adjust the dish with no luck.

This being said I wish that the PBS channels (Montana and LPB) still were DVB-S rather than DVB-S2. Using a 4' Channel Master dish along with an Openbox S9 receiver I haven't been able to receive Montana PBS without breakups ever since it switched to the new DVB-S2 format. The signal usually goes back and forth from around 42 to the high 60's. LPB is usually a steady 70 to 72, but last night I couldn't even get the signal beyond a 10.

I should probably setup a dedicated dish on AMC21 someday.

Popcorn,

Montana, Oklahoma and Louisiana are the only S2 signals I can get. I didn't watch them last night, but Friday night they were coming in at 73% here in west central Indiana.

LPB can be a bit prickly as of late. Was fine for me last night but a few days ago while recording WWII HD I notices some breakup.

The LPB feeds were great until about the time the Britcoms came on. Then I had a picture, but it was all jumbled, totally useless. Switched over to Montana for by weekly Britcom fix. A dedicated dish for AMC 21 works well for me. With a 1m dish, you have to be exactly spot on, and I couldn't get consistent reception on my movable dish.

I had them break up last night for a while. But then we went out and i have not checked it since. I am using a 1 meter fixed dish on a Azbox with no issues until then.

Why can I not get the LPB channels? My folks get it just fine on their Openbox S9, when I had it here, I put their tuner on my dish and they all came in so I know my dish is aimed right but my pc tuner will not see them at all. I get the other S2 channels on 125, just not these. I don't understand this...

Thanks!

I could not get them or the OETA ones till I put my AzBox back in place. So I have not a clue. Wish I could help sorry

All of the others, PBS East and West, World, Create, the HD and SD feeds, Montana PBS and OETA are vertical. LPB is horizontial.

Are you changing the polarity (skew)?
