119 tp4 and 110 tp 1

[herzzreh]

Here in AK my receiver is saying that it's trying to acquire 119 "spotbeam" (specifically says spotbeam) 4.

What's on 119-4?! As far as I remember, 4 used to be a regular transponder.
Also, I'm picking up 110, "spotbeam" 1. What's on that? Yesterday I was not able to get that.

Are you sure about those transponders? 119-1 and 110-4 are spotbeams, 119-4 and 110-1 are conus.

Which makes zero sense. Why would some channels (Hist Intl) be on a spotbeam?

The spotbeams only carry locals to a particular area.

press and hold down the power button on the unit until it goes off...then let go

let the unit cycle through. Sounds like something needs to be cleaned out and the soft reset does that
