Where are all the feeds, it's just black? MPEG 4:2:0?

[QUOTE="Tom Mountford, post: 138302, member: 186234"] Hi all, it's been a hell of a long time coming (and I eventually had to give up and get a professional installer to set the dish up) but my 120cm motorised system is now up and running. I am able to get most satellites from 42 degrees east to 30 degrees west. I bought all the kit so I could watch feeds but I have only had limited success finding any. Here's the kit I've got and what it's doing: Technomate TM-1000 CI: This controls the dish steering and it picks up all the regular TV channels and any feeds currently carrying a video signal, i.e. always-on circuits like the two Globecast Serte Paris links on Atlanta 3. The IF output from this receiver is daisy-chained on to: Scientific Atlanta PowerVu 9225: This is a bitch to setup (it's meant for broadcast installations) but when I scan a satellite it saves hundreds of channel presets, some carrying the same channels the Technomate has found, the other 90% just black-level video, however it doesn't display a 'no signal' or 'no audio/video' warning so I assume these channels at least contain sync. Do satellite providers leave transponders displaying nothing but black when they're not in use? Would the receiver display black if the signal was MPEG 4:2:0 rather than 4:2:2? So - I've got the dish, I've got the receivers, I'm picking up the satellites... so where the hell are the thousands of feeds???? [/QUOTE]
