Note about transponder frequencies from lyngsat.com to add to your satellite listings...
At the below link is the lyngsat.com page for AMC 1.
Above I made two satellite names called AMC 1 C and AMC 1 Ku.
When adding transponder frequencies to each of the above satellite listings (in Antenna Setup)... on lyngsat.com I would look for frequencies which have a light yellow color and and have a red "F" with a blue box around it. These are free-to-air frequencies and will usually* show up on the signal meter of the receiver when they are selected.
*some of these listings are outdated and don't work anymore. Or sometimes nothing is being broadcast and there will be no reading.
So for satellite AMC 1 C, I would enter a
C-band frequency (4 digit) or two (just to find the satellite). Blind search will automatically find all the other frequencies, even some which are not listed. And then a frequency or two for AMC 1 Ku.
In Antenna Setup, I scroll down to Transponder, then click OK and see if these frequencies are already on the list. If yes, then no need to add it. If not, I exit out of the list, then click on the red button to edit the transponder list. Then just scroll down to each item and enter the numbers, then click on Add TP and it will add it to the transponder list for that satellite listing.
So looking at the lyngsat.com page for AMC 1 (link below), these are the TP frequencies I would add, then H or V, and then the SR...
[Note: I am writing this on May 7, 2007. If you are reading this in the year 2009, these frequencies may not be there, lyngsat.com may not be there, the satellite may have been renamed to something else and may no longer exist, etc. These things change!]
AMC 1 C
3750 H 29270
3800 H 29270
AMC 1 Ku
11818 V 3250
11828 V 5789
Then when I am searching for these satellites, I will use one of the above frequencies. Using these frequencies (if they are active) will get the signal meter going. The frequencies listed in the receiver may be outdated as these change with time. So if using an inactive frequency, you can be right on the satellite with your dish and the signal meter will show nothing!
After I have added an active FTA frequency, found the satellite, then I run a Power Search and it finds all the other frequencies. Nice!
