I'm a bit confused. Is W9 your "old receiver talk" or "4dtv talk"?
Are you talking about AMC9, which many people call W9? If so, AMC9 used to be at 85, but it's now at 83. At 85 now is AMC2. I think the test pattern mentioned by 1captain is on AMC2. There's also a DVB version last time I looked.

On AMC9, there are a bunch of transponders on KU, although I didn't see anything analog. The best for tuning being the Hughesnet (I assume) transponders, such as the 12180/30000.
On C-band, I didn't see anything analog, but there were a LOT of strong digital signals, however I couldn't lock any of them with my Ultra (which isn't unusual for the ULTRA). These transponders looked to have pretty high SR values, up close to 30,000. It's possible that they are DVB-s2 or 8psk of some kind that can't be locked by the ultra, or they might be DSS or they might be DCII, neither of which did I try. So there is definately something there, but off hand I'm not sure what the signals are.

Anyway, which sat are you looking for??
