I'm setting up my system (30" Ku dish with SG2100), and have found most of the satellites between 74 W and 103 W. I'm now trying to go more West, but am having trouble finding anything (I'm at 84W, so the elevation angles get quite a bit smaller as I move more to the West).
Are there any active broadcasts on Anik F1, Anik F2, SatMex 5 and Galaxy 10R? I'd like to locate these in sequence - makes them easier to find.

Thx,
Chris.
 
I just power scanned both F1 (107.3w) and F2/E2R (111.1w) and nothing found, plenty of live channels and TP. on Satmex 5 and G10R those two are MUST have's!
 
For SatMex5 and G10R, can you give a couple of freq/pol/SR that are likely to be active tomorrow evening? I'll be continuing my search then.
Thanks!
Chris.

Anik F1 / F2 has ASN (Atlantic Satellite Network, a CTV affiliate) and NewsWorld, which is a news channel. That is it for English language stuff, there are also some French channels there.....

The knowledge networks looks interesting. You did not find that in your scan? Maybe have to do the PID thing?
I have not tried it yet myself so I am just goingi non what lyngsat lists.

I found Satmex5 and G10R tonight! Turned out I didn't have my SG2100 motor aligned correctly to true South, causing it to point the dish too low for these 2 satellites. Redid the true South alignment, and found them without problem.
Thanks Peter!
The only ones I would now like to find are AMC6/9 and IA7, then I have them all (I think ;-)
But it looks like AMC6/9 only have feeds, and IA7 has only something on 11948/V/8684?
