Anybody know why those PBS channels don't have sound?

Transponder freq. 12110 from AMC 3 carries PBS-Kids, East, West & You. I hadn't gotten strong signal with this transponder in the past, but the quality had been OK. However, the quality snapped yesterday, the screen went blank. The dish was not out of position - I could still get TV pictures from satellites to the east & west of AMC3. Also I did a POWER scan in case there was a "frequency shift" in my equipment. Most importantly, other transponders on AMC3 came in strong (GE Heathcare, PBS-HD) !! Has anyone seen this weird behavior ?

Also, I picked up some (Arabic?) broadcast during POWER scan on AMC3, they are not listed on Lynsat.

I checked today and all are missing. I get other feeds such as Patient Channel on this sat but no PBS and they are no longer listed on Lyngsat.

Sure they're gone?

I dialed them in last night, all there (PBS X East, PBS Kids, PBS You, PBS X West). Even locked on the HD channel but wasn't set up at the time to watch it.

Yeah, I found them last night also.

Thanks

Strangest thing, some times I find them with my 1020a card and sometimes not. The Patient Channel pops right in almost every time. I even peak the dish on PBS at xponder 600. I get a lot of found audio, looking for video in DVBApps and TSR Lite finds nothing.

Maybe I am looking at the wrong time of day.
