TNNE on 87.0°W C-Band

[Babadem]

I hope this is not a fluke, but I just pulled in a bunch of Luken channels (32 of them) on 87.0°W C-Band, 4000H 29125SR, S2, 8PSK FEC 5/6 using my 6ft WSI bargain dish. The signal is between 58% and 65% quality.

I'll have to say it again, [h=3]OMG I can 'see' the 87W Luken mux[/h]

Nice catch Babadem; that's a very strong tp...coming in here at 72% while the old Luken tp was bubkis. Nice to get TNN again.

8 am and the signal is still slamming here in northeast pa.
i dont have 87 in the center lnb slot and it still comes in great. hope it stays also.
I was ever so close to moving that lnb somewhere else...

OMG indeed.............. as I'm getting those on the WSI $69.99 bargain 6ft dish!

Yea!!! After a long drought of not getting RTV on c-band i scanned it on 4000 with my solomend with a good sig Q of 72. Looks like ill stick with my solomend for awhile since my AZbox ultra wont pick it up.

 

[kodaz]

Well, something must be horribly wrong, so we can only hope they fix it soon so we can all go back to the lousy signals on 87.... lol..k, J/K

 

[stanleyjohn]

sometimes i wonder if theres something wrong with that satellite at 87w! had a strong sig with rtv at 4000 and now its very crappy.Dosnt seem to be just rtv because other tps like the weathernation which was a good sig earlier is now pretty poor.87w signals have been playing hide and seek with me for years now.

I am getting it, but not enough to watch it.. Signal quality keeps bouncing from 10% to 80% up and down... up and down.

same problem here scott also,but for a few hours earlier today i was getting a very steady 73% Q on my solomend. I went back to it later and found the sig bouncing all over the place without a lock.

openbox S10 I am getting them at 84%Q on a 7.5 winegard

 

[stanleyjohn]

Verry wierd!!! Just went back to check and all the TPs including RTV at 4000 locking in with a strong steady sig.I still think somethings flakey with that satellite

Just checked and for the first time ever I can see TNN HD. Ray Stevens is on with a live concert.

And came home tonight and its gone... *poof*

Yea! i know all about that poof.Its on here still!but sig bouncing from 40 to 70.I found out that when i first go to that tp i will read no signal and if i leave it there for a min or two it would lock in and stay.Dont know if that makes much cents but it seems to work for me.

I got my 7.5' mesh up and running last night and 87w was booming on 4000 H 29125 with RTV programs. I could not get the 3920 H mux for some reason. Also, with the c-band LNB I was getting 11900 H 29125 with the RTV mux, not sure how or why that could happen. After about 2 hours it all went away. No joy. Still can't lock on to 3920 H.

I knew it was too good to be true! Well, it was sweet while it lasted.

C-band LNBs cannot receive KU-band frequencies. You simply made a mistake and selected the wrong LO frequency before blindscanning.

5150 - 4000 = 1150 IF
11900 - 10750 = 1150 IF

Read the LNB FAQ if you are interested in LNB LO settings.

People how are bouncing around what are you using? ESX-241/242, BSC-421/422 etc....

I wonder if this will be like BYU on 91 may have to bust out some norsat dro or PLL tech.
