RTN on G10 @ 123W

[milepost72]

I was hoping RTN would strengthen their signal at some point. Looks like a 36" Dish may be in my future now.

Can someone be more clear for me.. I am wondering what happened to the channels on 11.720 & 11.800 if I recall correctly they were rtn the vast majority anyway. And so I'm wondering if these channels are gone, on a different satellite or as someone stated above I need a stronger signal ??

Thank you!

they are mostly gone as RTN/RTV had some financial trouble you still got the east and west feed on AMC9.

I was really hoping to get this one once I get my setup up and working. Dang!

If by RTN you mean Retrovision, I did a scan and got RTN East and RTN West, but it was either at 83W or 85W, can'r remember which, but try those two. Lots of great shows from the 70's - 90's.

83W has RTV

So, is a 80 CM dish sufficient to pick these up? I cannot seem to get them on AMC9 from my northern Michigan location. AMC9 direction is very close to being affected by trees, so I'm not entirely sure if it's an obstruction issue or something else. I'm in a heavily wooded area and picked the best spot to receive most of the arc, but 123W was my top priority. Does anyone get these with a 80CM (31 in) dish?

I live in SW Michigan and have hard time with them, my signal Q is about 40 the signal comes and goes...........I do get a good signal with satellites on either side of AMC 9.............

Hi
I notice that I get a good signal from other channels or transponders on 83.0West. Could it be a beamed signal? Maybe a weak transponder.
I'm planning on putting up a 36" dish to get a reliable signal on RTN.
I have great signal also with satellites 87 and 72. I think its a weak
transponder.

Probably..................................
Although I watched Rockford Files last night with a Q of 42 and it was fine no loss of signal.
