Re: Sat 91 west

[NorthernPike]

Sat 91 use to have over 500 channels, about a week ago, I did a rescan and now only getting 317 channels.
There are several transponders that have no tv channels, does any one know that's happening?

Thank you for your responce in advance.

You posted in the c band forum. Are you referring to Nimiq or Galaxy 17?

[NorthernPike]

Sorry about that, I was referring to Nimiq

Check those blank TP's against the 91W list at Lyngsat.com to see if there are indeed suppose to be channels on them. If so are you getting good S&Q on those blank TP's? You can try scanning those TP's individually and see you get channels on them that way. I have seen when an LNB starts to go bad some TP's will not work any more, try swapping out that LNB with a known good one and see if that gets the missing channels back.

Hi, MavrickThanks for uour help, I've already checked Lynqsat 91W list they do have channels, and did rescan each
individual blank tp and did not get those channels in.I'm beginning to think that your right about the LNB going bad,
I'm going to swap, and will get back to you to let you know, again, thanks a whole lot for your help

[Mavrick]

Yes, an LNB swap would be your next step, remember to turn off your main power before disconnecting anything in your system.

[Hunter11]

Are you sure you are not pointed @ 82.

[NorthernPike]

Mavrick, I swap out the LNBF aand it's the same half the sats are weak signal and the rest 317 channels come in.
I bet the ones with weak signal moved to HD.

Hunter11, on top of antenna setup I have Miniq 91 W showing, but thanks

I don't think anything has been changed on 91w, maybe your dish moved a bit?. Find the weakest TP on the sat then adjust your dish for the best signal, that should bring all other TP's up to their best signal.

Hi, I have a t90 dish with 3 LNBF 91w,110, & 118/119, if it did more all the rest would be out of aligment.

As, for the weakest, it's: TP 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,2325,27,29,31, you it's all the odd numbers, I'm pretty sure
it got moved to Nimiq 82 HD

[fn59]

Don't think anything has been moved to the 82 satellite. I scanned 91 on the weekend and got much more than 317 channels.
If you've changed the lnb and still had the same result, and you're getting signal on even numbered tp's on the other satellites, I would look at the switch and cable between the lnb and switch.

Hi, fn59 cable between lnbf and switch is excellent, switch is a Spaun with a waterproof cover, I don't think it's the
switch, but I'll check it anyways. Thanks

[Benney]

Nothing has moved on those two sats.

[NorthernPike]

Nothing has moved on those two sats.

Hi, Benney, I'll have check the switch then, thanks

[NorthernPike]

Hi Folks, I swapped out the Diseque swith with a brand new one , no difference, I'm still not geeting those odd
number sats, I also forgot to say that all those sats that I'm not getting are vertical, and this is only for Nimiq 91w.

Thanks, need more suggestions
