Thanks for the hint yesterday Iceburg. Having a heck ofa time trying to find it. Installed brand new feedline since it was time. Have my coat on at prsent and trying again. Is that transponder you mentioned yesterday still on at present or can you tell me one that is currently on air on IA8...

Trying to locate IA8 so I can move my dish to get the ABC News Feeds. They have move there from IA6. Does anyone know of transponder info of a continuous broadcast that would help me lock on the frequency. Thanks in advance. Wxman1

Thank you for all your help...we now have sound.

That's the one I am watching with the WPLG feed channel 10 . I'm not sure what you mean

I'm sorry....SBS 6 (Intelsat Americas 6 at 93W)

I presently am watching an excellent picture with the following co-ordinates DFreq 12051 (V) video {33} Audio {38} PCR {33} SR 3.978 Msps I have a Pansat 2500 and have tried the language options (2) the mute is not on (3) have sound and video on all other transponders. I'm puzzled...can...

Bad cable...you'd almost think so, but if it was, I would think I would have some signal degredation between the satellites which I don't. (may not take much loss to affect the switch though I assume. I'll check the attenuation and see how we make out. Appreciate your patience.

Thanks JerryT....hmmm intersting point you bring forth. Both seitches I have tried are the same mfgr. The lNB's are Fortec Star (FSKVU's). Maybe a different mfgr's switch worth a try. Thanks again for the note.

Thanks Iceburg. This is strange....I changed Connector 1 to 2 and the previous #2 to #3 (on the DisCeqC) and reconfigured the setup. (had the power off at the back while we changed everything and checked the settings even after a reboot and all is well. The same thing happens ....I go to SatA...

I have two dishes being fed thru a DiscEqc coupler into a Pansat 2500. All is configured correctly. When I scroll through all the channels on Sat A I get reception....then when I go to the channels in Sat B (DiscEqc input #2) all works OK. Here is the problem ....when I go back to scroll through...

Thanks again Isat...we are now on SBS6...hope to be able to get some good newsfeeds there. The other dish is on IA6 (CBC Newspath) Paul

Thanks for the quick reply...heading outside to try and find it. Appreciate the info. Paul

I am trying to find SBS6. Could someone please advise if there is a continuous broadcasting transponder on this bird that I could use as a "tuning tool". If so please advise the transponder frequency, polarity and baud rate . Thanks in advance for you kind assistance. Regards to all, Paul

Thanks Iceberg for the quick reply ...will give it a try. Regards, Paul

I am going to turn my dish to AMC 9 for more newsfeeds. Can someone please advise if there is a transponder continuously on air) that I can use as a "tuning tool" in order to find the satellite? Paul
