Nilesat In London

[satsid]

hi london guy,Invacom Quad LNB with c120 feedhorn are knowen as very good with channel master dishes from 1.2 meter up in size.it does not have to be a Quad lnb here.if i put a normal lnb with out feedhorn my signel will go down a lot.this is why,it wont hit the edges of my dish,so signel goes down.my thinking with this is,why spend loads on a good dish like a channel master,then put a crappy lnb onit.its worth spending that bit more,then you know your getting the best out the dish.

hi m8 i take it you in london,if i was you i would by telesat international mag first.use the disk on your pc.with dish track from the disk.this is why.this will tell you what your see,just click on london if your there or where you live.even though i was born in london im now in the north uk,so my signel will be weaker from 7 west.so you should get more than me.i think a 1.2 would be on the small side,you have to also take into account bad wether as signel will drop off.my advice is a 1.8 channel master would serve you best with Invacom Quad LNB with c120 feedhorn.you also should beat me on hor signels from there.on a 1.2 meter channel master you might well get the verts,but dont hold me to this.
all the best.

Tee hee... this has been an interesting thread, but we're now right back where we were in post two with the Channel Master 1.8m getting most of the channels (verticals) but not all

You did say that the 1.8m was too big for your location. Do you now think that you might get away with it?

What mounting possibilities do you have? A garden? A flat roof?

i have a triax 1.1 motorised dish and i live in london, and i do recieve 12 015 h in the evenings for the whole yr, and sometimes i do get other channels if the weather is good, would a fortec star 1.5 dish be able to get me most of the nilesat channels?

would the fortec star 1.8 m dish get me the full nilesat or would i have problems with it?

where i live, there isn't so much wind so would the 1.8 dish survirve and work fine?

thanx in advance

A well set up 1.2m is fine for the Horizontals on Nilesat in the south east of England. Theres several members of the satellites.co.uk forum got it working on a 1.2

HOWEVER it has to be a decent quality dish, and it needs setting up by an expert with plenty of time taken to tweak the alignments, straightness of the dish and lnb setting.

The Fortec Star dishes are cheap badly pressed rubbish. RD100 (one of the members here) had one - it folded up in a storm last winter

thanx for your reply, how about the fortec star 1.5 m which is only 1 piece not in 6 pieces like the 1.8?

Cheap rubbish

If you want a decent big dish you pay several hundred pounds for it - yoiu dont buy one for a hundred quid from Maplins!

Like most things in life you get what you pay for
