So while you may not want to watch Telemundo it is a great tp for aligning when lining up on 79. Bout the same for all the sats. Some are empty but most have a church channel on them that is usually a wall to wall signal also. Although I have yet to get the famed GBN at anything more than a 85 on my receiver. |
While a transponder that buries the needle may be good for "finding" a satellite, it may not be best for alignment. A perfect example is that religious channel on AMC6. That thing gives me maximum signal whether I'm on target or not. I usually try to find some slightly weaker channel to align with.
