I don't seem to be able to get anything on Satmex 5 (116.8W) these days - even with a blindscan. Anyone else having issues?
 
I have never had good luck in MN due to the footprint being really sucky in the northern US states
 
Hum... that's what I have, but can't lock on any channel with current setup... although I have in the past...
 
and I'm just north of the 46 line here in Minneapolis

C-Band works fine but KU has always sucked

I have gotten signal before, but not lately. I have ruled out aiming issues, since I get 125 W and 113 W very well...
 
There may be more but this is what I currently receive from Satmex 5 Ku, see attachment.

I did a blind scan yesterday on both ku and c and found a dozen or more channels on c but nothing on ku

Blind Scan is not a good method for catch fta channel from that bird...

best use manual scan, edit freq, pol, sr and do manual scan several times...;)
