Anybody else having this issue or am I just out of wack enough that I am getting garbage masking as a signal?

I'm interested in your mention of 12140/29270 above? Ie that's a DCII signal, not a DVB. Are you saying that you WERE getting this signal? The reason I ask, is that the particular LNBF you say you are using is a universal lnbf on KU. The thing about this, is that DCII receivers are typically expecting channels to be at specific freqs consistent with LNBs with 5150 and 10750 LO freqs. I'm surprised that you could pick up ANY DCII signal, unless you can re-tune the freq on each channel. Anyway, were you using a DCII receiver with your BSC621-2 ????
But yes, there were several changes to the
PBS signals on AMC3, if I remember right the most recent changes were approximately around the first of November. The main change that affected FTA viewers is that as you say above, the 12110 signal, which HAD been pretty much a duplicate of another DCII transponder is now a DCII signal, and the duplicated DCII signal is gone. Ie 12110 is still there, it's just not in DVB format.
I'm also curious about Borada1's response about the signal not as strong as "TiP". I'm not sure what "TiP" is? But that 12180 signal seems nearly as strong as before for me, however I'm having some issues with the 12140 signal, but I've assumed that this must be a problem with my system, because the spectrum trace still shows it to be a fairly strong signal, so I'm not sure why I'm having problems. I'm receiving it OK on my 1M dish, but I seem to have lost it on my big dish. I think that my big dish got blown out of alignment during a strong wind storm several weeks ago. Also, once before, I had problems with a birdie freq on my system, since I have 4 receivers daisy chained together here, so that might be an issue too.
But yes, there have been a couple changes on AMC3, but the main change is that 12110 changed modes.
EDIT: Dooh... it finally dawned on me what Borada1 meant by TiP, ie the signal at 11716. For some reason I thought it was some technical term I hadn't heard before. Sorry. Guess I'm not awake yet.
