Question Will Spencer, can you get the same TP info from different satellites?
Im scanning what i thinking is 129w and getting some of the TP info that is in my Fortec Satellite TP list but not all of the TP's in the IA7 list. If im getting some TP's thats in the list then am i for sure on IA7? im showing TP's and getting scrambeled channels.
please read carefully to understand what im trying to say.
thnks:woodman

Nah... I can't see that happening, for two reasons:

1. Transponders are configured by each satellite operator. The operators don't share this information with each other, so one operator would have to spy on another one (or use Lyngsat ) to copy their transponder configuration.

2. Two satellites that published the same transponder information would conflict which each others transmissions. This could, of course, be avoided if each of the satellites had a completely different footprint.

To be honest, I am confused as to what you are saying. ops:

It sounds like you are receiving IntelSat Americas 7, but that your transponder list is out-of-date.

Will Spencer, You may be on my problem, my TP list probebly is out of date. I had no idea this could happen. I'll go to Lynsat and update. Is there a site that has FTA information to study? Like what words meen and the abribriations that someone could never guess what it is if one has never studied it.
thanks:woodman

I've tried to build that here with the Satellite and Television sections of the FAQ.

Name a term and I'll look into adding it. 8)
