Thunderflash: On Satbeams updated June 2012: http://www.satbeams.com/channels?norad=29495
Nine, Gem and GO are still on D1 using transponder #9.
But I haven't heard of anyone picking these up here in NZ since they changed something last year.
Thanks for the interesting info. Satbeams certainly has a lot more detail than Lyngsat.
However, a scan of Optus D1 doesn't show any of those channels on Transponder #9, which is supposed to be operated by Nine Network Australia. There are two channels showing as used by the 7 Network, but they seem to be SNG feeds, rather than actual channels.
Using the Satfinder function in my Vu+, tuned to 12398 V, 11909 with FEC 2/3 and 8PSK modulation, I can see a carrier giving a steady 73% AGC, but there is no SNR and consequently no lock. Maybe this transponder isn't used any more? Or maybe this is not a valid test?
Apsattv: The signal was power limited to restrict access.
I will check if its still being viewed.
Cheers. That would be good to know.
I also managed to find a signal here:
Tp#024 Ku 12546 V 16676 3/4 Optus D1 (160° E) FNANZ QPSK DVB-S Nine Network Australia
But the best SNR is only about 30%, so still not enough to get a lock. Possibly it is just crosstalk from Sky's H-Pol transponder on the same freq. but with a different SR:
Tp#025 Ku 12546 H 22500 3/4 Optus D1 (160° E) FNZB QPSK DVB-S Sky New Zealand
If Tp#024 was viewable here it would provide WIN, GO and GEM, but maybe they've knobbled that too, so far as NZ viewers are concerned?
