Is this actualy on Telstar 5 or am I somehow pointed at another Sat? |
You have locked onto AMC 4 -- as Aaron says above CCTV 9 is on TP 21 -- 12,120 GHz, vertical, SR=30,000.
Since Telstar 5 and AMC 4 or so close (97 degrees vs. 101 degrees) it is possible to pick up AMC 4 by mistake - I've done it when aligning a dish to T5.
Alan: if you have lost your channels from T5 then you must realign your dish as I think it has "drifted" over to AMC 4.
And Aaron: you will find that CCTV 9 is not always free - I notice that it goes encrypted from time to time during the day, although the encryption periods seem to be random for some strange reason.

BTW: you can also get both CCTV 9 and CCTV 4 on Galaxy 3C (95 degrees) at 11,780 GHz, horizontal, SR=20,760, FEC=3/4.
