Intelsat 1R at 50°W

[Andrew K]

I was doing some searching, and I found TBN Enlace on 50W... 11051 V Symbol Rate 27902. Can anyone else verify that this is the correct satellite? I didn't even know there was anything there.

 

[Pixl]

Yes, you are on 50w.
Enlace is the only ch ITC.
There are also 99 $ chs there.

 

[Andrew K]

I was surprised to find anything on that satellite because I can't find this TP listed anywhere on any website.

 

[Pixl]

It's there.
You need a universal lnb to see the four tps it has.
11050
11090
11129
11169
all V all 27900

 

[Andrew K]

I did a scan, and you're right. It came up with 99 channels. It looks like this contains the good cable channels in Spanish... all scrambled of course.

I will try for that one when I get back home next week.

These encrypted services usually have a good EPG for many channels that are FTA on other satellites.

I am trying to get that Sat too. I brought a Claro TV box from El Salvador to see the local channels they have there. They do have TBN Enlace

coolsat 5000 I entered the tp info manually to aim,I get quality 93% on a 1meter dish in ct.
Scanned for channels,no channels found.I assume s2?
Hooked up the openbox and did a blindscan,it found those tp's and the 99 channels.
Probably irdeto2 encrypted,at least I was able to see an epg on the openbox.
openbox quality was 76%

 

[Pixl]

Yea, S-2 I guess. As you know being a OpenBox owner, there is no indication of S-2.
Nice job of finding those.

strong signal,lyngsat and sathint should be updated to show there is stuff there for america.

on my fixed dish I mark the mounting pole whenever I find a sat,so 50w is anther mark to add.
I have an old label maker I make labels with the sat degrees and elevation,I stick on the back of the dish for rapid re-aiming.

 

[xtgold]

the old coolsat would tell you the type of encryption on encrypted non s2 channels,I miss that feature.
I like to know what I am being teased with.

 

[xtgold]

some of the pay channels have an epg in english,which is interesting.
The rest of the channels epg is spanish.

n2

some old posts from last year on spanish sites say the channels are n2
Some of the channels they listed are no longer there,like the networks.

I notified Sathint, and they now have it listed. They actually already had that TP listed, except there wasn’t anything free and clear. However, they’re showing that TP as a South American footprint, and that’s not true if I’m getting it in Ohio.

 

[xtgold]

did they have an option to mention mpeg4?
some people may not know about the s2 part.

I don't remember seeing that option. My receiver doesn't tell me if it's S2 or not.

 

[xtgold]

I couldn't get anything with the old coolsat,but I was able to with the openbox.

Ok, Question. Since I already have a 2.5 meter dish pointing to 58W for Sky Mexico. Would it be better to buy a signal meter to locate 50W or I can just locate it by moving the antenna a bit? I saw in Dishpointer were I have to move it; it is not a big diference.
