NASA tv gone?

[speakes1]

' been watching NASA tv via I701 for a while now but I've not had any pictures for a couple of days but have still got signal. Is any body else experiencing the same thing ?

[SatGuRu]

It's changed frequency to 3742MHz, all other settings are the same, 2000 sr etc

Thank you SatGuRu

Anyone notice on the new transponder freq that NASA's signal is down a little?

I have plate in, getting AFN (4174L) at 93%
and Nasa at 57%.

Used to get it around 65%+

Intelsat 701 is about due for replacement I think.

I had to fine tune my dish recently to eliminate pixelation on Nasa. Not sure what signal strength it was before but only 52% now.

Intelsat 701 launched 22 Oct 1993, definitely time for an upgrade.

As of December 2008, Intelsat has announced several upcoming satellite launches.

Intelsat 18 to replace I701 @ 180 East. Payload - 40 C/24 Ku

Just went outside then to peak it. Had to move the dish elevation + plate in LNB. Now instead of 52% I have it 57%. No pixelation.

the sig has gone down since the freq change,i used to get it at 89% q and now 71% q lets hope they dont reduce it any further

[SatGuRu]

Maybe Intelsat 701 in slight incline? I read somewhere it had problems.
