AMC 18 C-Band

[PopcornNMore]

I'm trying to tune my stationary 6' dish to AMC18 C-band in order to begin subscribing to X4 programming. I'm looking for the NBC channels that are DVB-S2 using my Openbox S9 receiver and am not having any luck. I'm able to find ANC1 and Anik F1, but not AMC18 which is in-between at 105 degrees.

I also looked on The List and AMC-18 C-band is not listed, so possibly these NBC channels no longer exist.

They are still there.....just not all the time.

Sent you a PM.

Popcorn,

There is a strong signal on 105 C to aim at.

3939 H 29999

I have the NBC channels at 3780 H S/R 30000. AMC 15/18 at 105W. Good signals.

billyboy_1 are you getting these signals with your 6'?

That dish in his avatar is an 11 foot dish. I can't get them with my 6 footer in Minnesota

I couldn't receive the NBC channels, but found channels marked as (Channel1, Channel2, Channel3, Channel4, Channel5 and Channel6) at 4160V 29997. I then removed the Openbox S9 and hooked up the DSR410 receiver to verify the signal.

 

[brex2001]

That TP, 4160 V, is about the strongest of them all. Always scrambled $.

Maybe it could be added to The List for finding 105W C-band?

 

[Mr Tony]

Is it DVB or S2?

 

[brex2001]

Is it DVB or S2?

Lyngsat shows 4160 V 29270 DCII HD, but since it locks with an S9 Opensat & not with a Coolsat 5000 I'd say S2 - sort of.
It's actually something for WUT, but strong enough to be useful.

I can get the NBC S2 on my 6 footer in Kentucky but it's a total pain in the butt I mean like a good 20 - 30 playing with the skew.
