Another NASA noob

Is there a special trick to getting NASA on 119? I have a QPH-031 powered by a Skywalker-1 (no switches) with an old DISH500 for the actual dish.

For NASA I'm using 12370 V 20000 7/8 QPSK as the settings, but no dice. The strange part is I can get other channels on 12370 but using 21500 2/3 Turbo-8PSK. When the pol is set to V with that setup I get 66% and set to H I get about 71%. I thought it was strange that I could get some of the channels on 12370 but not NASA. Wouldn't all the PIDS(?) on a single transponder be transmitting at the same power level?

Thanks

Sounds to me you are using the wrong lnb LO. The qph-031 should be set to 11250 on a circular output. The only channels lyngsat shows with the right SR of 21500 FEC 2/3 are indeed turbo 8psk and they are around 500Mz lower than 12370. Nasa is SR 20000 FEC 7/8.

Thanks, apparently I had it pointing at the wrong sat. I had it looking at 129 which I confirmed by one of those FTA "Thanks for looking at 129" channels =) Lyngsat confirms that 129 has T8PSK channels on the 12370 TP
