I was thinking the same thing. I suspect that they will shift AMC 6 over at 85 to 83. I think they just moved it there as an in orbit spare from my understanding. The 11800 H beacon I dont think is from AMC9. AMC 9's beacon freqs according to the frequency plan are: 3700.5V, 4199.5H, 11702V, 12198H
This kinda stuff scares me to even invest into a C band dish! Can anyone confirm that lukin is now on ses 101? RIP AMC 9
WHY? This is not something that happens all the time, it is very rare actually.
And besides, they are just moving the Mux over to another satellite and still on C-band so for the end user you have lost nothing. Just swing the dish over to another bird.
Most people who have a C-band dish install it with an actuator anyhow so it's a non-issue as you can move the dish. Titanium’s ASC 1 works well as well as great support if you run into any issues. Yes it's there. I rescanned it in last night when it moved.
How many channels are on the mux? like 20? ok not getting anyone feathers tight lol - I get MeTv on my ota antenna and get cozi on 103. I guess having Retro tv would be nice! but having a job and a car working be nicer! 
How heavy are those C band dishes? My 90cm was pretty heavy for just 1 person!

Nah, this is a serious BONUS, in that they moved it to a much better satellite, and now there's no need to move the dish back and forth between those two anymore... In fact it could be even a little better for a bit smaller dishes, in that you could aim between 101 and 99, and potentially get two sats worth of stuff without moving at all!
Still there but evidently not all receivers act the same on this mux.
Micro hd scans and plays them fine, a cheap receiver scans and plays fine, but 3 other receivers have varying degree of success some see signal but scan nothing in, others see no signal yet scans in names but do not play......
If the micro hd was still in production I would get a back up in a heartbeat!
I got the transponder scanned in but there wasn't any programming - I scanned for both FTA and ALL on my 9000i. There was no signal quality though. On the other 12 footer, I scanned with both the Elite and the TBS6922SE after manually inputting the transponder/polarity/SR and got a lock but no services with 65% SQ. I did pick up a couple of new channels on another transponder with a blindscan on the 9000i though.
From the looks of Satsignature.com, "She's dead Jim..." No carriers on V/H KU or Cband...

I've got them all coming in fine on 101w at 3900/H/29125, using my MicroHd.
Yeah, I keep looking in the classified section hoping someone will have one for sale. I need to get another one to replace the one the Wife took away from me last week.
There is very similar performance with the Amiko MiniHD RE that KE4EST has now. It uses the ALI chipset. But I also like the microHD and have two of them
