What happened to CTV, that Canadian satellite That moved a few months ago.

Does any body know what happened to CTV , it comes in with a good signal but black screen. Is it done for good or did it move again?
119 degrees?

Mine is set on 4019 30002 I was watching until Dec1, now coming in at 98 but dark screen. Did they change something or do I need to reload this sat.

I just brought up 3 CTV services on 119W. Look fine on my 12 footer.

They seem to be scrambled, $, I can't make them come in. Blind scan got shopping and a
Chicago station.

looks like maybe you're not on 119W C-Band. I don't think there's any shopping channel there. Can you give more information about what you are receiving? like channel names and frequencies?

 

[cyberham]

Sounds like you're on 125W.

125W has a scrambled transponder on same frequency/SR/polarity as CTV on 119W.

 

[LocutusOfBorg]

If you got scrambled stuff on 4020 then you're on the wrong sat. I don't see any Chicago stations on 119W C-band either.

There is a mux for WGN on 125 West---but it is scrambled. That's probably where they are.

Ok, the TP is 4148 and 13750, and 127 degrees,I did a blind scan. This gets the Chicago station Its just a test pattern that says Chicago.
But it also has the 9 stations at 98%98% with them being blank. On a direct scan all 9 stations have a $ sign like they are scrambled.
I must be on the wrong sat, but my scan is 4019/V/30002. Close enough? Maybe have to change that, This has been working for a few years, even when they switched sats from like 107 to 119.
What is the name of the sat at 119, I will go to lyngsat and try to figure this out.
I need to see if this sat is programed in my Lynkbox, sorry I'm so lost, thank you for your help.
