With many/most "feed" channels, there is nothing there much of the time.

No. The transponder will only appear if there is something on it. So if you scan during quiet times, nothing will be saved. Also, feeds use different symbol rates and polarities all the time. They change constantly. So even though you may have several transponders saved from an earlier scan, they wont always work again. You should run a blind scan constantly to get the latest feeds.

AMC5 is a good feed satellite. The most active times are 5-9am Eastern time, and 9-11pm.

Thank you I didn't realize that you had to scan all the time.
