Here is what I can tell you. From thelist that update was done by me and my 6 footer so they were picked up (date was 9/7)
I can verify that 4040 H comes in great. I watched NHK for a while that day.
Let me run some numbers tomorrow on my 6 footer and Pansat. DO you just need those 3 TP's?

Ya those three are all I need. I thank you greatly.
I have to make some decisions really quick before the snow starts flying. I saw a 10 footer on Craig's List near Minnetonka and I may make the jump to pick it up.

Ikki,
I got NHK World on a 31" Dish before with almost zero breakup -- you'll be fine on a 6 footer for that transponder at least

thats nice but the OP asked about a 6 footer. There are some things that a 10 footer will get that a 6 footer won't
yeah it is nice i did see that hes looking at a 10 footer on Craig's List that why i posted on a 10 footer. thought this fourm is to pass info not be Nitpicky.:rant:

Here is what I came up with about 1/2 hour ago
NHK (4040H) 90 quality on the Pansat 1500. They are at 1/2 FEC so no issues there...on Pansat threshold is 30 for 3/4 FEC and 20 for 1/2 FEC
CCTV (3880H) was at 45-50 quality. They're at 7/8 FEC so there were some freezing spots but rare which makes me think they're not at 7/8 FEC...maybe 5/6. Way better than when Equity was on 95W and I needed a 70 quality for stable
3840 H I had issues with....again 45-50 but tons of pixeling which makes me think that they are definitelly at 7/8 FEC
I think if I tweaked it more I wouldnt have issues. Also there is a tree that might hinder a little reception.

I don't want to hijack the thread . . .
. . . so, could someone point me to a thread that discusses getting c-band reception using a small (1m) dish?
When I do a search on this topic it seems that people say it can't be done but the above comment suggest that you can receive c-band with a small dish.

Tamuin,
Welcome!
Do a bit of searching for miniBUD or Primestar and you'll find quite a bit. So you know, I'd never recommend setting up a 31" dish to watch any C-Band reliably, it's just something fun to try for experimenting.
But a meter dish will likely pop up a few feeds and really strong signals. Your mileage may vary, but you may end up with a some things you didn't expect.
