Satellite TV program guide

[paulrtsai]

I have a Satcontrol SM3D12, still waiting for my Lifetime Ultra receiver. I just got the custom antenna mast made, the Fortec dish mount is not rigid enough to support the motor and the dish.
My southern most sat. will be 115 West XMROCK, this is a sat. radio bird. has no data output. I am at Long. 115.216072 West, my next choice will be Satmex 5 at 116.8 West. Does anyone knows what website do I go to obtain the program guide, so therefore, I know I am aimming at Satmex 5 watch the current TV program.

Second question, at the LyngSat website shown all the Sats. at western atmosphere, from Canada, North and South America, some Atlantic. Now, how do I know which sat. is Inclined or Declined, for those I don't want to aim at and lock in to my receiver.

Thanks.

As I know, there is only one inclined ku bird in N.America which is Echo4 at 157W. About the Atlantic sats, base on your long, you can only see fews of them.
Check out the link below for active ku feeds on SatMex:

transponder: 17, 19, 24.
There is 1.5 deg differences between your long and satmex5, so you should use USALS (aka 1.3) to move the dish to SAtmex5 before tuning the dish to SAtmex5.
