Analog Ku feeds

[tester239]

Does such a thing still exist? I see some listed on Lyngsat, but they all have really really old sighting dates on them. Is it still worth it to scan certain satellites for analog feeds (C or Ku)? Are there still news stations out there that use analog mobile trucks?

Not sure about news feeds but there is usually at least one college football game a week in analog ku and during basketball season there will be about 2-3 teams that still do analog ku. Ku analog is pretty much just on life support (and here I sit with two analog receivers).

Here's a thread I started that might help you:

I seem to remember some other threads on this, just search for "Ku analog" thread titles.

Is there some kind of last-resort analog emergency system/transponder(s) out there? Something to watch if SHTF happens? I'm going to try and receive some of these test patterns that are supposedly active out there tonight..
