Suspicion....Azteca has moved over to 95W.

[northgeorgia]

In the past week, I've noticed nothing from Mexico appearing on 93W Ku-band. However, the old "Service 2" banner of Azteca 7/13, and several of the feed banners we recognize from 93W are over on 95W. I don't believe I'm off the arc, as this is the only anomaly I've seen. Confirmation?

Could be. I'm not at the home, but I rescanned yesterday and found a soccer game on Azteca. It may have been bleeding over from 95W, which would be nice if they end up there, because I'm splitting the difference somewhat between the two sats to get the CCTV channels AND Azteca off one 36" dish.

 

[Keith Brannen]

Correct, they are on 95 now. When they were on 93, I also got bleed over on my dish at 95 (at a lower level, naturally). Now it is reversed, get them at 89% on 95 (on a SC 60e), and at 72% on 93 (on a SC 75e on an LNB 6 degrees off-centre). All readings on the AZBox Ultra.

Thanks!! Can you please post the new frequency at 95W??

12110 H 2219, showing just colour bars now, but had been showing normal programming several days ago.

12111, H, sr 2219 same as on 93W

I'm glad somebody else found that, I thought my motor was out of kilter. Saturday I found a soccer game on a couple of different channels on 95, and that color bars thing.

Right now Azteca on 93w and 95w is colour bars and comes up as channel Service 2.

There was "azteca jal" this morning -- appeared to be in 4:2:2.

Receiving on both 93W and 95W must be due to your smaller dishes. I receive nothing on 93W now. On 95W, it's SQ 70% and rock stable, not a waver in the SQ reading. They've gone to horizontal polarization on 95W too. 95W is a better satellite since I spend time there for CCTV.

Thanks a lot! Hope its on the north america / puerto rico beam

Rescanned. Oddly, it scanned in on 93W and not 95W. However, when I actually went back and looked at the signal levels, I found the 95W station still there: the 93W is only around 45Q while the 95W is stable at 70-75Q. So, it does look like a move to 95W with bleedover back onto 93W. I also noticed an extremely weakened Wright-Patterson signal on 93W last night (I know it's not there all the time, including right now, but last night I could hear a tone and the meter only showed 8Q). I wonder if there's a problem with the satellite itself?

It has outlived its lifespan by about 5 years anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_25

I get bleed over on the 31" dish but only when I use the Avenger PLL LNB. The Invacom and a number of other LNBs that I have don't bleed over.

when they were on 93w it was vertical polarity

I have a fixed 36" fixed to 95 and I would get the bleedover from 93 with the Service 2.
I just rescanned and now I´m not getting the Svc 2 from 93, and I´m getting it on 95.

Yes V but the TP was 11996. So the 12111 TP on 93 and 95 is bleedover?

 

[northgeorgia]

I think 93W is bleedover from 95W on the new Horizontal transponder.

I'm getting the Azteca feed at 12110/H/02219, V/A/PCR PID: 0033/00386/0033, shows on my receiver (X-Square X2 Mini Receiver M1) as Service 2. I have a fixed dish set for Galaxy 3C 95W, it showed up after I did a "Blind Scan" a few days ago. Also got something called Channel 1 at 12098/H/03330, V/A/PCR PID: 0033/0036/0033, but now it says Bad Signal, so I guess it's possibly gone now. Other channels I didn't originally receive, but now get clear are: RTN28 (Racetrack Network) 12050/H/20000, V/A/PCR PID: 0353/0354/0353 and PHKC (Phoenix Hong Kong) 12050/H/20000, V/A/PCR PID: 1281/1282/1281.

 

[dsmith0429]

Apparently not a bleed over, I'm still getting Azteca Trece at 12110/H/02219, and is now listed on other sites that provide channel lists.

 

[northgeorgia]

Yes, I just rechecked 12110 H 2219 and it reads 71Q on 95W and only 46Q on 93W.
