AMC21 Not Sure Whats Wrong

[Gray1]

I am at a bit of loss and need some help. I am trying to get AMC21. I can get
12179 V with Create and V-ME. But thats about it. I am locking on to the 12179 tronsponder with 79% Q on a Coolsat 5000. I cant get Montana PBS or the 12121H
transponder. When I put the frequencys in on manual scan, I dont get a signal.
This is the first time using the Coolsat 5000. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks

Did you try a Blind Scan?

Montana is 12104 V 4340, and it doesn't always come in for me using blind scan on my Visionsat. A manual scan seems to get it though.

In addition to other responses, the 12120H transponder hasn't been there for a couple months. Also, the 12140 transponder and 12150 are HD only, so you won't see those on the 5000. You should be able to get the 12163, 12169, 12175 transponders though.

Lak7...Yes I tried blind scan also but with same results. I did see some feeds that I couldnt get a picture. I assume they are HD.. I will try a manual scan with the transponders that BJ listed and we will see what happens. If that dont work, I will try the Merc II.

Thanks
