Greetings all!

I just wanted to ask if anyone is pulling anything on 105W Ku band (AMC 15 / SES 11 / Echostar 105)?

According to Lyngsat, there is a Veterans Affair TP on SES 11/Echostar - and plenty of different feeds on AMC 15.
Are the feeds actually streaming or are they just placeholders utilized for for more important things?

Best regards, -T-
 
There are three VA channels. One is encrypted, and one has been a black screen every time I looked at it. The third is actual programming.

Feeds are typically only active during whatever event they are being used for, unless you have advance information you just have to get lucky.
 
The Veteran's Channel is on 24/7 so at least it provides a beacon with video to allow you to find the satellite. But feeds these days are few and far between. I blind scan every one or two days but mostly only find data transponders that don't scan in. For the time it takes to blind scan, it's worth checking. Just don't hold your breath.
 

Satellite receiver RS-232 Loader search, anyone knows??

Uniden Supra - is it garbage?
