Amazonas 61W

[fsanchas]

Can someone give a test run for me and see if it can find this satellite here in the UK and if yes, there is any channel available on it.

Thanks

ISTR theres a solitary data channel available off this one in Europe, but no tv channels of any sort.

Used to get Digital+ and TV Cabo before they went to Nagravision 3 around Christmas time - now only get TVE and a few freebies. I thought Amazonas might be worth a shot _http://www.lyngsat.com/amazonas.html
-is it worth me going up the ladder again and pointing at 61w (with a bog standard sky dish)?

Nice to see someone on the Borders administrating this-I'm from Kelso originally

There is only a data channel receivable in the uk. Taking into account your location and a sly dish, you might not even receice that channel. No TV progs from 61w available in the uk.
The TV channels that you have seen on Lyngsat are "C" band transmissions aimed at south america. You would not receive them on your TM and a sky dish.
Forget about 61W, it is a no go for you.

Hello soursop,

On Barbados, do you receive DirecTV and Dish Network, as if you were located in south Florida? Are US sats in Ku-band receivable? Thanks in advance.
