Still 34% Quality here...
You sure another tree isn't springing up to further block your signals?

I find this freq week at best in southern Canada. Changed for me approx 6 months ago. Tried peakign and re-peaking with no luck. Al other transponders fine. Anybody heard if Equity is officially moving all of these to C band? and if so when.
digiwave 7000, twinhan 1020a, 30" wineguard, HH motor.

All I can say is I HOPE NOT. Most of the quality FTA up there is on G10R!
Anyone know anything new about this possibility?

At least that's looking like a somewhat viable option, with all this experimenting with 1.2M Channel Master antennas with C-Band!
Actually, that dish (the Channel Master 1.2) is listed on the manufacturer's website as being C-Band capable (please see attached pic), they give figures for the 1.2 in both C and Ku... although the gain on C-band is only 32 db

according to an engineer with Equity, they will slowly but surely move everything over to C band on G3 due to rain fade problems using ku.

If they move, they'd still be digital DVB, so you wouldn't need the analog receiver. But you would need a C-Band capable dish pointed at G3 (95w)
I am currently researching the possibility of either a mini-BUD (1.2M with C-Band capability) or a full-blown BUD in case this happens.Tron
I'm picking up The Tube on G10 at its' normal spot, and also at:
118000, V, 26.66Msps
That location was KWBS PAX from Eureka Springs.
If somone can verify this, it's got an impressive 49% Quality over here- a nice alternative to the old weak transponder. Maybe also indicative of The Tube preparing for Equity's move? .. or just tired of that transponder?

nope
they need time to kill, so they rebroadcast it on KWBS (actually its KDEV now) and WPXS from time to time
I would go ahead and set it. there are some other stuff there that is not own by Equity. I think Directv uses this satellite from time to time to uplink new locals. I remember Huntsville, AL being on at one time because of that.
I seem to recall that as well (i.e., locals from dish/RCA). ya, it will be a shame if it goes C band. I too am looking into a 1.2 meter for c band. I have access to an old c band lnb. I just wish someone came out with a 1.2 other than channelmaster, something lighter preferrably so I hook it upto a motor. The channelmaster I think is approx 50 pounds worth of dish...can't move this with an sg2100 withour it falling apart. Anywhere I can find a 1.2meter in galvanized would be great.
