Last week I performed a blind scan on the Express-AM22 satellite at 53°East. At that time, it never crossed my mind that this might have not picked up some transponders.
Then, yesterday evening, I noticed on a certain website that the Barcelona footie match was being aired live and fta on 1TV Afghan. I knew that this particular channel had not been picked by the blind scan and so I thought I wasn't able to receive it. Anyway, I decided to scan its transponder and to my great delight it came in quite strongly.
This morning, I was successful in scanning in an additional 6 transponders from this satellite although each only carries one channel. Here's a list of these 'missed' transponders and channels together with their Signal Qualities.
1TV Afghan 11.195H 2.442 72%
Rahefarda 11.050H 2.530 68%
Khurshid TV 11.106V 2.222 66%
Batur TV 11.172H 2.115 68%
Palestine Live 11.519H 1.085 87%
Dewan 12.652V 1.447 61%
Al Mussillia 12.651H 2.532 47%
The common theme running through the parameters of these transponders is their very low symbol rates and I assume this is the most likely reason why my TM5402 missed them. However, a couple of other transponders also have low symbol rates and so why were these picked up?
