Are there a good KU-Band-mpeg2 satellite that has alot of news wildfeeds on it, such as coverage on the Okla/Texas wildfires, that can be picked up with a 3' dish and mpeg2 box? If not, what about analog KU?

SBS 6 and AMC 5 are two of my favorite places to scan for news feeds.

CBS uses IA-6. Transponder 1 is the most common.

I will struggle to find 79 sometime today. Thanks alot. One more thing, are there any fta feeds from the CBC in canada? Ive heard they are on C band but is there anything on KU? I wouldnt mind being able to catch hockey.

I would dearly love to get one little old CBC station. Blind scans of Nimiq 1-3 produce a pleasant surprise now and then, but they haven't lately.
