Thank you, I was wondering what that transponder was for.

 

[magnigyro]

Great!!
My recent bird capture was Galaxy 11, however I have not NTSC capability
No DVB?

I think my option will be AMC3...

 

[qwert1515]

It is DVB. I think is says NTSC because some of the feeds are PAL.

 

[Mr Tony]

that is DVB
