Can't lock to Galaxy 28

[pookah]

Few days ago I had a lock on 4005 V but since I am not able to get a lock on any tp. I get a strong signal on 91W and from there I try to locate G28 which is just 2 degrees away.

Does anyone know a strong transponder on that satellite so I can attempt again? I'm am close to Buffalo, 6ft mesh with Norsat 3220 LNB.

pookah,

4005 V is CBN and it only broadcasts part of the day, which I found to be in the AM ending right around 12 noon. For me this signal isn't very strong averaging 44-50%. However that's the transponder I initially used to find this sat.
3860 H was a very strong transponder for me at one time averaging 72-75%, but since it scrambled, I just get occasional flashes of signal to 74%.
BTW...there isn't too much to view on this satellite.

6ft dish is TOO small... even in norcal i need my 10ft for flawless reception... g28 has all time zones of ABC on the Ku side (mostly horizontol)... a solid 6ft will excell at Ku reception

Cbands gotta be over 8ft... preferably 10ft

I'm getting CBN with 85/82 signal on 4005 V 6111 3/4. It also scanned in Event-TV ($) and 2 PPV channels at 3860 H 30000. There are also come CBS HD channels on 3880 V 29861, but right now, the signal is up and down and won't lock those channels. Other than that, there isn't much on that satellite.

6ft dish is tricky on g28 for any feeds with ses 2 and g17. You really need the bigger dish .
