Amc 8

[Diamond Jim]

Well, I'm back at it again. Has anyone ever picked up any of the Alaskan stations on AMC 8?

 

[Tommyboy]

Do you mean AMC 7

 

[mkm4]

I was able to get them in NY on AMC 7.

 

[Diamond Jim]

No, not the Anchorage stations, I talking about Alaska One, Gavel to Gavel and Univeristy of Alaska TV. These are all on AMC 8 at 139 degrees west. Years ago I could pick up watchable signals on C band from Satcom F5, the fore runner of AMC 8. I got away from it over the years, but became re interested when I discovered DVB.

It was all there a week ago.
I was watching a program about the sinking of an old sailing ship on Alaska One and just geting intrested when WHAM , somebody flips a switch and it becomes KUAC-TV with some network drivel
Lost intrest real quick.

I noticed your location, that would have a lot to do with it. I checked the footprint for AMC 8 and it said it was good for all 50 states. Would you happen to know if the LyngSat FRs and SRs are accurate?

 

[Dave C]

Yes, Lyngsat is still accurate.
Nothing is being aired currently on Alaska One TV but it did re-scan in correctly.

You said "Well, I'm back at it again." . What would "IT" be ? ? ?

 

[Diamond Jim]

I have been trying pull these stations in for over a year, to no avail. That's what "back at it" means. I get nothing from the LyngSat numbers and I can get a few other FRs, but on the 3618 they always say "no channel" and on they 3688 it just clicks off.

 

[Diamond Jim]

I have now picked up 3 scrambled channels on AMC 8 at 4034, why can't I get the clear channels on 4060 and 4180? as s**t.
