The future of the FTA hobby

[navychop]

Well, with undersea cables being cut, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility.

Worst case scenario I'll use my BUD(s) to get weather satellites, been watching saveitforparts on YT, fun stuff

My wife is down to watching just Azteca since the other stuff she was watching either disappeared or encrypted. There's a bit of spanish language programming on the Mexican sats but she doesn't seem to be too interested in that programming. I may have to get a streaming subscription for her in the near future.

Where is Azteca currently? Is it somewhere on C-Band?

Azteca muxes are on C-band on 117W (Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala), 105W (Mexico) and 99W (Mexico).

They appear to be gone from 99W. I'm not sure I can get 117W due to the neighbor's ever growing tree. I did find three Azteca channels at 93.1°W. Thanks for your help. Will try again tomorrow.

Yes, I also scanned Azteca channels on 93.1W. You might try 99W at a different time of day.

I noticed a comment at Ricks that the 99W channels have gone missing. My system is primitive, not motorized. There's a lot of walking back and forth to move to a different satellite. 117W would probably be ideal if I can get it.

It's gone from 99W. I've been told it's on 117W but it's wiped out by 5G. There is another mux on 117W at a higher freq but it's scrambled despite being scanned in as FTA.
