Only get 7 channels on AMC3

[johnny33156]

I wonder if someone could tell me why when I scan AMC3 that I only show
7 channels scanned in. When I look at lyngsat it shows many more then that with about 18 of them free.
These are the channels that I did scan in.

New source main
live events
market source
channel 5 washington
TV 1 - 11737
The patient channel
Entertainment, Reque

Thanks for any help...

Montana PBS and others take a little tweaking. Enter the freq for Montana PBS and bump your motor a little west or east and see what happens.

Looks like you might also have a dish size issue. You appear to be getting all the strong channels, the PBS channels are considerably less powerful. I was consistently having a problem getting PBS reliably until I pointed a 39" offset dish at the satellite and made it a fixed dish. Now it is always there. For me, Patient Channel rings in at over 95% SQ, PBS is down at 66% or slightly better.

In addition most of the time my Coolsat will not find Montana PBS with a blind scan. Manual scan gets it fine.

Are those first 4 on your list ITC (in the clear) or scrambled. I've never seen them ITC, but I have been able to hear the audio on (some of) those 4 channels.
