Hooked up MercuryII blind scan:

Channels:

1 BTV-1
2 BTV-2
3 BTV-3 (shows offline for Globe Cast LA)
4 BTV-4 " "
5 Boeing
6 BTV-V-1
7 BTV-V-2
20 North America
300
301
302
303
304

Didn't note the audio stations!

I've done google and others found name of BTV but the links hit a lot on lyngsat but did not list all of the above for one sat. (My dish is almost all the way east)

4328/v/15938
4360/v/30031
4399/v/6492
4454/v/30031
4600/v/30031
4719/v/29031
4766/v/4504
4328/H/15938
4361/H/30031
4453/H/6492
4599/H/30031
4720/H/29031
4766/H/4504

Still not sure about if c or ku or either goes to either side one for 22khz and other not!?

It's 12:44 am my time, man I'm dead. Got to be up in 4 hours.

Hopefully someone can shed some light.

Again thanks

**Update- MercuryII is reporting this bird as Globecast- still don't know which orbit position and other name for this bird!!
I wouldn't put much stock on what sat the Mercury says it is, because I think that is dependent on the uplinkers putting the correct info into their signals, which they more often than not don't.

However the sat "names" you list above pretty much correspond to IA8(G28), and on Ku I think. However I'm real confused about your list above, ie:
************
4328/v/15938
4360/v/30031
4399/v/6492
4454/v/30031
4600/v/30031
4719/v/29031
etc

Where did these numbers come from????
I thought at first you were showing some C-band freq/SR values, but these are all out of range of being C-band. If a blind scan came up with these numbers, then you apparently have the LO set wrong. I have been trying to figure out what possible LO would lead to the above, but I'm coming up blank for the moment. I'm almost thinking that your receiver thinks you are on C-band when you are actually on Ku, AND that instead of 5150, you have some LO in there, like 5650 or 5550, or something in that range. Anyway, strange results. I'm really interested in what caused this.
