172E Eutelsat 172B Ku in NA?

[mr3p]

Replaced a dead HH motor this weekend and decided to test my East West limits. I was able to find 180E without much difficulty and there were a few ITC feeds. I might have found 172E although not sure as couldn't scan in any channels on the transponders found. According to Satbeams there are spotbeam footprints which reach the US west coast so just wondering if anyone has succeeded and if so which transponders were active?

Can you find anything ITC on the following?
3888 H 10414 (encrypted)
3916 H 3330, or
3947 H 15000, or
4196 H 1415

Sorry I mentioned Ku in the title but can see that I should have also specified Ku in the post.

My mistake! You said Ku. I looked at your signature and saw no Ku dish so I assumed C.

I have my inverted fixed dish on 180E and the signal is great at about 12.5 dB typically. To try for 172E, I need to swing west about 7 degrees in azimuth and lower the dish by 5 degrees for an elevation of 8 degrees. Provided a tree doesn't get in the way (I'm looking through a forest of them) and provided the resulting 8 degree elevation doesn't have me looking into my local hill, then I can check by trying some blind scans.
