Never had it on my system, thought I'd try to tune it in. Can anyone tell me of an active C band transponder right now?
 
ku band satellite at 74 degrees. Always been ku even at 95 degrees. :)
 
I was looking at the Lyngsat site and I thought it showed some C band transponders in NTSC? Must be reading the chart wrong:confused:
 
SBS6 is a Ku band satellite only, it is using a beam called "C".

C band frequencies are four digit numbers (ex. 4000) and Ku band are five digit numbers (ex. 11000).

Thank you, how bout a good Ku band signal to hone in on then?
 
Thanks. The way my system is set up the only way I've found to program a new satellite is to find an active analog transponder, move the dish to it with the dsr920 hoping to find that signal, and then I can turn the Pansat on and look for dvb signals. I can't search with the Pansat until I get the satellite locked in with the 920. Does that make sense? I'm probably missing an easier way, but that's how I do it:)
 
i don't know how everyone does it
but if your are moving the dish with the 920

i have my system split so i can see my coolsat and use a live tp so when i get close it lights up green across the board.

if you are just using the 920 you can count the # of clicks it takes to get between sats so if it takes 5 clicks to get from sat 101 to sat 103 then you can search for 2 degree sats at 5 clicks so to go from 79 to 74 would be about 12-13 clicks .

its also a hunt & miss thing

I disagree with you....


On a 4dtv receiver, we have 'G6' as the cband side of SBS 6, I have found many, upon many hockey games on G6-24. The analog cband side of SBS 6. I have never understood why Lyngsat has it listed as Ku band only. Seriously, its not AMC-6 cband bleedover, its clearly SBS 6 C-Band...otherwise known as G6 to us 4dtv'ers.
 
To my knowledge G6 was used for G-12 when it was sitting at 74 deg, though at the present time I do not believe there is a C-band bird at 74 deg, I could be wrong though.

Right now G6 is just another spare from what I know anyways.

It may be a spare, I'm not sure either, but I do watch occasional feeds at that location on the cband side.
