[QUOTE="Tom Mountford, post: 145844, member: 186234"] I’m a feedhunter having limited success. I use the SatcoDX website to get the transponder list for a satellite and manually add the transponders to my Technomate TM1000-CI (it took me a while to realise I needed to do that!!!). Here’s the FIRST problem, 95% of the transponders I program in receive no signal whatsoever even though SatcoDX shows me I am well within their footprint, and from the strong signal of other transponders I know the dish pointing must be spot-on. So if the transponder isn’t in use by a feed does it still broadcast black and sync to enable a receiver to find it… or is it totally ‘switched off’ and simply not going to show up in any scan? Do I need to program all the transponders into the receiver then at intervals re-scan for new channels to find ad-hoc broadcasts, saving the frequency to my favourites whilst it’s there? Here’s the SECOND problem, of the transponders that do receive a signal the Technomate only finds some of the channels that should be broadcasting on them. Example: Eurobird-1 28.5E, Frequency 11.426GHz. My receiver finds 11.426GHz with a decent signal of 69%, and SatcoDX lists eight channels: OBE TV, Chart Show TV, POP, Tiny POP, Channel S, The Vault, TTV and BT Tower test card. All eight are MPEG2, SR 27500, FEC 2/3… in my mind the Technomate should find all eight channels but the BT Tower test card doesn’t show up. I’m getting the same problem with most of the transponders I programme in, channels that should be there just don’t show up??? Any advice??? Tom [/QUOTE]
