Hidalgo and Azteca are HORIZONTAL! If you are receiving them on the "vertical" side, you have a problem... So, do a search on 3920H30000 and see if Luken comes in...

OKAY: THANK YOU PRIMESTAR31.
I now have Luken Channels at S90-Q71.
I must apologise for my brain tonight. It finally soaked in. I still have Hidalgo and Azteca on the vertical side, but as long as I can have Luken I will be happy!
Again, many thanks to all and a BIG Welcome to Primestar 31
Thanks for hanging in there with me on this issue!.

Good deal, enjoy watching some tv tonight!
Then tomorrow, you can figure out why your transponders are reversed between H and V. IF you are using an LNBF and this issue is on all your sats, you'll likely need to twist it the opposite way from how it is now.
That would be 180 degrees which won't change anything,would need to turn it 90,quarter turn.If the H and V are reversed.
I didn't want to continue more in this thread with deeper details, it really should be in a new thread if he needs more help for that. I meant the 'opposite way from H to V', which is a quarter turn as you say, or the VERTICAL lnbf probe should be at the 12 noon (or 6pm) on the dish when the dish is pointing at true South, top dead center.
O/T
Boy that dish/lnb combo works good for you. Your a few hundred miles south of me so you might be getting a little more signal but on a 9’ dish with those lnb’s and an ortho feed your knocking it out of the park. I’m tickling 11dB and your getting more than a 4dB boost!

When I am not busy or bad weather. I can get 111w with no problem I can try to squeeze 113w in there.
Finally got around to trying for this today. I have a 10ft dish on a pole that used to have an 8ft so there's not as much ground clearance. The actuator limit was at 107W. I didn't think I could squeeze out enough extra movement before hitting the ground but moved the actuator clamp a bit anyway and low and behold I had enough with some to spare. Scanned in the Luken mux at 80Q with an Amiko Mini HD SE. West limit now 113W but won't be watching Luken channels during a snow storm until I shovel below the dish. Oh well, at least I can still get it! 
Nobody knows. There's the op's official letter in the first post from Luken saying they were going dark on 87w after 12/31, but they are still there. Perhaps some affiliates are having issues turning their dishes towards 113w. That's one heck of a azimuth move for a commercial fixed dish. Could be some of the LPN stations are going to need chainsaws or other logistics to even be able to do it.
The guy I help talked to them and that is what Luken told him and yes we are one of they troubled affiliates
and yes we are one of they troubled affiliates 
Albuquerque local station KYNM-CA rf ch. 21 should have no problems moving to 113 W* by adjusting their dish's.
I would be surprised if the don't keep up with latest news on moving to a new bird location!

Troubles continue. A 7.5 foot disk in central NY is NOT cutting it. I am on the sat and can get other transponders BUT not Luken. Need to get a 10 foot dish.

I don't see how Luken thinks (thought) that a move to 113 would expand their footprint, unless most of their affiliates are in the Gulf region and Mexico. They should have moved to 91

That's just the "fluff" they tell their affiliates, to look like it was their choice. Want to bet it's all money driven, and whoever provides the services for 87w tried to jack their yearly "rent" to a point they didn't or couldn't pay?
So, their next best affordable choice must have been 113w. After all, they first started from 125w, so it's almost moving home...
