AMC 3: anyone having problems?

[airgator96]

I seem to not be picking anything up on this sat.... anyone else?

Scan during news times - 4-6ish pm. I have had luck then.

 

[airgator96]

I'm not getting MT PBS?

 

[iafirebuff]

sorry, wrong sat! I am not having any problems with that as of last night.

 

[ghia]

No problems here, all tp's that I normally receive are coming in at normal levels.

 

[Mr Tony]

working fine here

 

[airgator96]

I'm getting everything, but the PBS channels...

seems every other sat is fine, so i'm alittle confused at whats going on any thoughts?

 

[Reinhold]

PBS Montana changed transponders some time back.
There was a thread on it at this site.Dont remember the numbers off hand.

I did a full scan and nothing!

The channel is still there, but it says no signal. I'm getting everything else i'm suppose to, but not the pbs. I just think its weird. I went out saturday, and tried to tinker with it... no luck.

The signal is at 0%? but just for those transponders?

any thoughts?

 

[Mr Tony]

do you get Tip TV, Patient channel and the arab guy? All 3 of those are really strong so maybe the dish just needs to be tweaked

 

[airgator96]

This is getting funny.

Now I get up this morning, and I have all the PBS channels, arab dude, and tip, but no Kuen.

I think amc 3 is playing tricks on me!

 

[Mr Tony]

KUEN is on AMC5, not AMC3

AMC5 is at 79W...AMC3 is 87W

I too am missing all the PBS channels on 12110 & 12128, I just assumed they were gone, including the HD one. I get a signal & lock on the TP's, but no picture. I an watch Tip & patient, the arab guy channel, and all 9 channels on 12180. 12110 & 12128 don't come in anymore. Is it me?

I was hopeing to watch the HD channel, as our local PBS station has decided to stop broadcasting OTA in HD & opt for 4 sub channels instead. The HD content is supposed to be on a local cable company, and I can't get cable.

Aren't 12110 and 12180 have the same content, plus "Create" on 12180?

 

[Mr Tony]

yep
12110 is being replaced by 12180 (with stronger signal)

 

[bryanw20]

yep
12110 is being replaced by 12180 (with stronger signal)

Ok that's good, but what about HD? Is it still there?

 

[brada]

Good News!
Still need an audio decoder though - these channels have 3 or 4 audio tracks, and all are AC3

 

[PSB]

The HD channel is still there, watching it now on my DVB World USB receiver!

 

[bryanw20]

Well that's that I'm using, which btw is awesome, gets HD & ac3 etc etc. Did any setting change from lyngsat? I get the other PBS's, just not HD.

It seemed to be gone around this time last night but its back at its published place as per Lyngsat right now
