How could I het such good quailty on some of the channels, but nothing at all on all the transponders with PBS on it. I also cannot get the Florida Educational Channels, basiclly I can not get most of the channels at the higher freq. as listed on Lyngsat. Any ideas???
You don't say what equipment you have, but I'm guessing that you probably have a universal lnbf, and it is operating in the 9750 LO mode, and not switching. Ie if it's using 9750, and you do a blind scan, it may not reach the upper freqs on that satellite. I think that if you have anything but universal checked in your setup, that it will revert to 9750, but I'm not positive. I'd check to see what kind of lnbf you have, and if it is a universal, check to see if your satellite setup for AMC3 is set to universal, 9750/10600 or whatever the numbers are. That's probably the problem, but if that setting is OK, you might try changing the 22khz setting. I think that gets grayed out when using universal, but maybe not.

Anyway, just my guess.


EDIT: One way to see if the above is the cause, is to see what frequency was reported as the frequency for the TIPs channel. If I'm right, I'd predict that instead of 11716, that it probably says 10716 when you hit the info button.
