Scanning Transponders.

Hi Guys.
When i scan the news feeds transponders on AMC 6 at 72 W why some tp's
take so long to come in and display TV 1 and TV 2.
Thanks Bob....

Are those the ones with the low SR?

They could be low sr.
Thanks Bob....

Do they have a name or does the receiver assign a generic? Many receivers take longer to log if there is no service ID or the PMT is built incorrectly.

Feeds all have name like NBC mux 1 or swampboy or attaboy
but those register as TV 1 or TV 2.
After the scan is completed they work fine they are just very slow to scan.

what kind of receiver Bob? Fortec? Pansat? GeoSat?

Those 3 brands I know will take FOREVER on channels that dont have a name. Coolsat will log it as the frequency/satellite etc so it will log as

TV1 G17-12000 V as example

Hi Ice.
I use a Pansat 3500 and a Ariza 700.
Both receivers have not been modified they are stock like
when you buy them new.
Pansat 3500 use factory flash 120 with B 70.
Thanks for the reply.

yep Pansats will do that. I have a 1500, a clone 2500 and a 6000 and ALL do that. Really sucks when scanning a C-Band sat because lots of channels dont have a "name" to log. When I scan 95W I try a different receiver because there are lots of "no name" feeds and the receiver just bogs down.
