Will we will have to re-align our dishes when the new satellite, IA-9, is launched later this year?

Maneesh

as Bill said no it will replace IA5 at the same spot.

Hello,

I was wondering what the signal quality of TP 11966 is in different parts of America. Here in Houston, I am getting between 35-40%. A few weeks ago, it was in the 50's. Nothing in my setup has changed. Other transponders are mostly in the 50's for me for Intelsat 5. Just curious. Thanks.

IA-5 is so funny... it's almost like every transponder has its own signal strength, but usually most are quite low in quality. I have a 80cm dish and my CW600 shows 26% qual on some of the lower TPs, and some TPs I dont get anything at all ... quite varying.. oh , well.. that's the way it goes..d'oh!

1a-5 signals are very low had a31 inch dish repaced with a 36 inch no difference witch i ordered from sodum picture quality very good 8 channels can not get above 45 to 60 quality you are right on the money weak been at this for 2 years lots of fun getting 10 r and white springs

both good. have an antenna mounted on a 25 foot mast28 db booster uhf vhf and moter picture quality good as dish have a healithy and happy new year .pete

The IA5 transponders don't look particularly weak to me. What I think the problem is, is interferrence from G-16 next to it. On my big dish, some of the transponders are somewhat weaker than others, but are still what I would call average compared to other sats, and are strong enough that they shouldn't give people any problems. However on my 90CM, the transponders look like they are being wiped out by interferrence from nearby sats, particularly G-16, which I'm guessing is stronger than the old G4.
I think people are starting to see the problems due to 2 deg spacing, when you get a strong sat next door. Just my guess.

got the same problem best i can do quality 45 to 60 up and down had a31 inch dish ordered 36 did not make much difference you guys are great good info and good site sadoun very good company to do business with

IA-5 TP 11966 comes in at 59 to 79 % in West Virginia IA-5 has almost all of the free to air channels that are worth watching. But I have a question guys. I can't get any of the KU channels from the Galaxyrku Satelite123 degrees west I belive that is what it is does one need a bigger dish for that one.
