Best satellite for Olympics (Ku)?

[CacheFreeTV]

I've got my WS 9036 dish currently pointed at Galaxy 19 - no motor drive - with an Openbox S10, X2-M1, and an X2 premium receiver. I want to re-aim the dish to watch the Winter Olympics, and I only want to re-aim the dish once (It's cold outside!!).

Any suggestions on what bird to aim for? AMC1 vs. AMC9?

Also, any thoughts on what other birds / channels may have Olympics coverage? I don't care what language it's in, the video feed is all that matters.

AMC1 - just my opinion - just 6° west and up slightly.
Have seen nothing on 9

Thanks for the input. Seems easy enough to re-aim! Maybe I should wait until the games start and see what shakes out.

SES-4 (22W) and NSS-7 (20W) are the pond hoppers NBC will be using to grab the events live.

So I'd say they're your best bet.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention, I'm in Utah. So 20w / 22w are not good for me.
Out of curiosity, however, how far west do you figure that 20/22w would be usable?

103w will possibly be best. I haven't tried scanning the c-band side of it yet, but out of curiosity I'll do that later.

Your Ku setup is the same as mine - it will be interesting to see what you can get. I have no C-band here until I can locate an unloved BUD in a farmers field free for the taking!

What signals are you seeing and what size dish?.I have had 0 luck with a motorized 90cm Ariza here on the east coast.I tried yesterday with a 1m Ch Master and no luck on either sat.Not 100% sure if it was location or dish size or a combination of both...Dug a hole last night and set a pole in a much better part of the yard and when the concrete sets I will put a 1.2 Ch Master there in time for Hockey games on the 12th.

Will report back on what I see and hopefully ITC.

I have seen nbc last olympics wintering on amc 1/3/4/5/9; and however pleasing they are; it is very rare on today's ppv premiers. The feeds have setup time; and feeding is allowed when they test the real waves of Ku only; eventually you.will find them sending fta in h.264 1080p ac-3 at 16psk instead of dvb-s2; it is now addressable to many service oriented providers in massive bandwidths; then served down to the local producers either live; or on morex! NBC !!!

with the band in low cost being C Band here in America. Russia does have a satellite on the lower west used to be near 148; that is their feed into US and North American markets

. I can still look with a motorized 36"; or even c band with a 4' mini; they do not have our broadcast however; and require only
They were an analog signal; and were not inverted ku; needed a sw to turn off inversion. And ku sized dish one polarity; one tp.
I do have 4dtv for analogs and positioning

an input of the pcr vid and aid all that was required the last time i went investment banking; in Russia! Excuse me while i find out what the gunfire is about outside!!! They do not show any tp's; but they do exist as satellite signals!

Remember Russia use 50 Hz, video 576i or 1080i formats.

Besides, NBC converts rest of the video's feeds to 60 Hz the we use here in the USA.
