Is there a list of Tps that are in use on each of the Nimiq satellites? I'm in southern California, I specifically want to know about Nimiq 4's TPs. I setup an 18" dish for the 82 slot. I got decent numbers for the even number TPs, but zeros for the odd TPs. I then pointed a 1.8 meter dish at 82 and got great numbers for the even TPs and 4 odd TPs, TP #1, 43%; TP #5, 41%; TP #9, 57%; and TP #25, 54%. If these odd TP's are on the old Directv 2, now called Nimiq 4, why wouldn't I get the rest of the odd TPs. Doesn't every TP have the same footprint?
 
If you're talking about Digiblurs list, I don't see where it shows tp1 is in Nimiq 1, tp 2 is on what ever, it just show the tps at the orbit location 82 or 91. I want to know what tps are in use on Nimiq 4 and I don't see this on the "list"
 
N4 only uses 8 transponders so it is possible that you only got a few of the odds but you should get the rest of the odds
 
Iceberg, what are the tp numbers used on N4, you say 8, numbers please. Also SJ44, Hiker and Comcast you point me to the LIST, but where does it show whats on N1, N2, N3 and N4, I only see whats at 82 and 91 in the list
 
The beam column in the list distinguish to 2 sat used.
I believe that "Canada/US beam" is the original
and the "Canada/Non SE US beam" is the replacement.
 
SJ44, I don't think this is true, so here are my reading on the 1.8 meter dish, by tp number, 1,43%; 2,97%; 3,0%; 4,100%; 5,41%; 6,95%; 7,0%; 8,99%; 9,57%; 10,98%; 11,0%; 12,100%; 13,96%; 14,98%; 15,0; 16,99%; 17,94%; 18,96%; 19,92%; 20,99%; 21,0%; 22,97%; 23,93%; 24,98%; 25,54%; 26,96%; 27,0%; 28,99%; 29,0%; 30,97%; 31,0%; 32,99%, now I need to know which TPs belong to Nimiq 2 and which TPs belong to Nimiq 4
