Any Video on 139w C ?

I've been trying for something off this sat. I see the radio channels on "The List" and some listings on Lyngsat showing video services from Alaska, but so far I don't see anything.

139W is a oddball satellite

The Horizontal side of the satellite is spotbeamed to Alaska. So unless you are in AK, BC, WA, OR and northern Cali you wont get them. Actually IIRC there are 16 out of 24 TP's are spotbeamed to Alaska. The vertical channels have audio feeds. Most are AAC audio but if you blind scan they might show. The Dial Global (formerly Jones Radio) is what is listed on thelist but the symbol rate changed recently to 10127. That will be updated soon

Dial Global feeds are what smaller radio stations use as music

Ok, that explains what I saw on my Trimax meter today. It locked in on 4032, but had a real high SR instead of 7957, so I didn't know what I had found, and it did not scan in any of the channels. We have a 12ft. here at the radio station fixed on 139. I brought the meter in to see if there is anything on this bird besides the commercial radio feeds we use. Dial Global was the only tp my dvb-s meter would lock on. I know ABC radio has a ton of stuff on other tp's but I never saw them, and obviously because of the spot beam no Alaska video.

thanks
