Seems like the only TP's that are active for DVB are between 12000-12200 which might make blind scanning a snap

The test card I get at the same signal quality

Here's a spectrum analyzer scan (BLSA) of the satellite to show what it looks like.

Top scan is 85.0°W Ku Horizontal.
Bottom scan is 85.0°W Ku Vertical.

I can't get anything digital off the bird, I hooked up my 2410R tuned to ch. 32 and got this message:

Echostar
Satellite Access Center


AMC - 16 / Tr24 - 85deg W

AMC - 2 has been replaced
with AMC - 16 at 85deg W

​

This test card is coming in at the same quality for me as it did before.

removed the phone numbers

The digital card has not been there (again) for a few days. Kinda sucks when trying to tweak the T90

It is back again (still at reduced quality for me), and if you do a scan right now there is something up now, and fairly strong.

Both the analog and digital Ku test cards were on less than an hour ago.

I am testing my Geosat Pro C/Ku LNBF, but got a 70% SQ on the digital with the Traxis.
