Hello
using a 10 foot dish with combo c/ku band Lnb get signal on 99 west and 103 west satellites.
For some reason cannot get any signal on 101west (SES-1) satellite on both c/ku bandis this satellite (SES-1) not working?

Re: c-band and ku-band signal
You should be able to pick up 101w with a 10footer fairly easily.
Try the MeTV transponder: 3974V/5924
It is the strongest signal for me, but everything on 101w is a bit weaker than stuff on 99w and 103w.
You probably just need to tweak you dish settings a bit and it will come in.

Reading your post sound like this satellite 101 west SES-1 is a weak satellite ,you probably located in conus 48 state.
This 10 foot dish is located in Honolulu , maybe signal is to weak to reach Honolulu.
Been moving the dish back and forth between 99 west and 103 west satellite could not pickup any signal from satellite SES-1.
Thank for relpy.

Re: c-band and ku-band signal
Indeed, signal would be very weak in Hawaii:

I'm surprised you get 103w from your location cause the beam is almost as weak:

Can you lock all transponders on 99/103w? Can you see other satellites along the arc? I am curious to know how well a cband dish functions in Hawaii!

You want to know which transponders can receive in honolulu on 99/103 west.
Using a Micro HD by GEOSATpro receive( Junk receiver cheat price freeze lot had to unplug to reboot to get unfreeze) to log transponders .
On 99 west C-Band these frequency receive 3813,3820,3900,3931,4000 Ku side 11800.
On 103 west C-Band 3840,4091,3912,3920 KU side 11940,12144,12180.
When look at TVROSAT Chart there is many cannot pickup.

Re: c-band and ku-band signal
That is still pretty good mrel, considering you are outside of the main beam. You would probably need a 12ft or even 14ft dish to get the rest of the transponders.
Do you get stuff from Australia or Asia?
