NEW RTN FTA BIRD

[Gas]

RTN national feeds are moving to AMC 9 tp 1 today.

 

[N5XZS]

Are they moving from C-band to KU-band, if so then we will get extra new channels for folk that have KU band recievers?:

 

[jself1982]

When today? I don't see anything, C or Ku side?

 

[Mr Tony]

care to elaborate Gary?

according to his avatar, he's an unreliable source...

RTN national feeds are moving to AMC 9 tp 1 today.

Unless someone is moving transponders or ceasing transmissions, that is not possible to be on transponder 1, no matter what the band.

I'll go look for it in a few minutes, tho, (the whole bird, both bands) to see if the signal is up and hot.

 

[Mr Tony]

a couple of us checked and didnt see anything on TP1 C-band or KU....unless it is hiding

In another thread, Gary said he needed a 1 meter dish. I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

 

[cracklincrotch]

Suppose if you need to keep sending everything but RTN to G18 you'll need another to send up something new somewhere else.

Being a weekend I don't think there's gonna be many places that'll sell a dish that big that you could get, like, yesterday.

I'm scanning in RTNEAST and RTNWEST on AMC 9 ku dvb-s2, no video or audio

 

[starman345]

Odd, Transedit scans them as dvb-s as well as dvb-s2 on the same frequency

 

[linuxman]

Odd, Transedit scans them as dvb-s as well as dvb-s2 on the same frequency

Which frequency are you trying on?

I think you can share that information about RTN.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes indeed you can share that info.

 

[starman345]

Ok, I'm getting video, don't know what show but it looks like an RTN'ish western.
11735H SR 4430 FEC 3/4 DVB-S.

 

[turbosat]

RTN East 11735H 4440 v32 a33
RTN West same tp/sr v37 a38 same programming right now
DVB-s , those are the only 2 I find right now.

Signal is low, get about 40 signal/48quality with the 1m

 

[stogie5150]

Not very strong at all on my 1m Primestar....69-70 quality on the Coolsat 5000...

But thanks for the info!

 

[starman345]

Turbosat you said dvb-2, did you mean dvb-s2? I am able to scan them as both dvb-s and dvb-s2. Stogie is scanning them on his Coolsat 5000 so that is dvb-s for sure.

 

[linuxman]

It is an extremely weak signal here for me.

I am only getting them as DVB-S signals on Transedit right now using my motorized Primestar 84e. Won't scan in as S2 for me

Too low a signal for my Pansat 3500 to pull in off my 10 footer. Meter shows about 15% SQ.

 

[brentb636]

I'm barely getting that signal , too. It's about 26Q on my Merc II and just below the pixelation point ( digital cliff ) . I definitely need to get this new dish optimized. [edit] Adjusted my dish roughly and get about 56% Q on my Merc II, well over the minimum and no video at all.
