TAN on AMC 4?

[hunterdave99]

Lyngsat is showing TAN channels 1 and 2 on AMC 4 at 11860. Can anyone with a motor check if they are free or not. I will be installing my motor back on this weekend so that my wife can watch both G10R (what is remaining) and T5. If no one responds by then, I will post my results with AMC 4 later.
Thanks,
Dave :?:

I am under the impression the reason Taipei International is on AMC 4 was because it was having problems uploading because of Hurricane Isabel. There is also TAN, not to good quality, on T5. Not sure if Taipei will stay on AMC4 or if it will move back to T5.

Taipe Intl relocation is due to the failure of T4. Loral had to move all the T4 feeds to other Telstar sats. For big customers who pay more $ than small ones, they can stay where they are. For small ones, they have to move to other sats. Loral just announced that T4 is not fixable, so it can be save to say Taipe Intl will stay on AMC4 for long.
