Can someone tell me what satellite this is?

Huevos

Satellite Freak
My Satellite Setup
57E to 58W, C-band and Ku, DVB-S2, 4:2:2 and blindscan.
My Location
38.5ºN, 0.5ºW
Big signal somewhere around 50ºW DVB-S2 4137 (either Horizontal or Left circ... locks on both, but probably linear) SR 29996 2/3 8PSK. Doesn't appear to have any channels on it.

hi Huevos
i just checked --
i can see this signal -- my setup places it at 50 west --
same as you though i get no channels from it,

regards nelson.b.
 
Just to confirm ..
I too can see this signal ...and used it in the past to position my dish for 50W..
I believe its a data transponder ...but it is the only thing I can get from this bird..

Intelsat 1R (IS-1R) outputs at 50W, but nothing listed as high as 4137 normally

I guessed it was but nothing is listed anywhere. With the polar mount and second C-band LNB I still haven't got round to saving all my positions yet. Doesn't help with offset LNBs either, especially at the west end of the arc where they are all bunched up.

It gets a bit confusing, for example if I am at 40ºW I have to move the dish a few degrees east to get to 43ºW. I'm making a table for future reference. I need to store 74 positions in total to cover 57ºE to 61ºW (not including those where C-band is in linear and circular).
