Yep... CH-2000 is still blank, and TANDBERG has moved to:

11722 V /SR 3197 VIDEO 308/AUDIO 256 /PCR 62 (also blank for now)

SQ~50% in drizzling weather...

I got the 'pruebas' from "portaleds.com/espanol/index.php"

cyberham · 2012-02-16, 10:18 AM

Receiving the Tandberg tp now. It was showing a still photo of a city skyline with high-rise buildings. Now black screen. Averaging about 50% in good weather. Much weaker than other tp but video was clear, unbroken.

SuperJ2 · 2012-02-18, 12:48 AM

I am seeing the color bars with NBC - TEL AVIV.. now up to 60% SQ.

cyberham · 2012-02-18, 08:06 AM

Receiving the color bars with audio tone now in a snow storm with up to SQ 53% after brushing signal-blocking snow off the LNB. Maybe some programming is coming!

SuperJ2 · 2012-02-22, 12:24 PM

Now receiving CTV2 (live from the Vatican) on 11992/H/6666 @75% SQ

(kind of funny that the Vatican uses an SR of 6666! Seems a bit ungodly does it not? lol)

SuperJ2 · 2012-02-22, 12:38 PM

Also NBC-TEL-AVIV is now rebroadcasting MSNBC on 11716/V/3199
SQ~60-65%

cyberham · 2012-02-22, 07:48 PM

Yes, NBC Tel-Aviv is now MSNBC with a little weaker signal! What a waste: we don't need two MSNBCs on the same satellite. Let's hope they're just testing in preparation for a new channel.

Nothing seen this hour from CTV2 and the Vatican. 6666 sounds better than 4444 since 4 equates to death in some Asian cultures.

cyberham · 2012-02-24, 08:50 AM

This morning's fresh blind scan shows duplicate MSNBC on 11716 is now black screen. AVC signal is its usual SQ 10% to 30%: as strong as ever but no video/audio as usual. 11861 H 45000 has "Prueba" (Spanish: Test) with EPG guide ITC presumably for $ channels: I haven't noticed before. IOW, nothing new.

SuperJ2 · 2012-03-24, 09:22 PM

The 11963/H/14714 transponder (TPAI & RTVGE) seems to be very weak of late. The other transponders seem to be fine...anyone else notice this?

cyberham · 2012-03-25, 07:11 AM

I have. There have been short periods of time when I couldn't receive either. But usually quality is just lower. This is unusual. I thought it was just conditions or maybe my mast needed a plumb tweak. "Ch-2000" is still there on same tp but no video/audio.

SuperJ2 · 2012-04-07, 05:42 PM

You can watch the Easter Mass live direct from the Vatican on:

11992H/6666 (very strong signal)

cyberham · 2012-04-07, 07:16 PM

Not seeing anything there right now.
