AMC-6 is on the move...

You receive ARCS from 139w in New Mexico? I don't see even a hint of a signal here. If so, what size dish do you have?
10 ft dish here in Rio Rancho. It's a very low signal but steady most of the time. New footprint I believe will put us out of it. 8 channels scan in. 5 different ones as their are duplicates. One is a black screen. ARCS rotates programming. The others are PBS FNX 24/7 channels.

We monitor the ARCS service at our gateway with a GI receiver, when I get back to work after vacation I will see what our raw C/N is at the input to the receiver, then manually attenuate it and see where we lose lock on it.
 
Looks like AMC 6 has replaced AMC 18 at 139w. For the first time I can receive ARCS. On my 8.5 ft dish it's breaking up badly at 4.4 db. Should be OK on my 10 ft dish. Just need to take care of some tracking issues at the far end of the arc and deal with a few trees for the 10 footer to work.
