Woo................ Yeah ................

Got the 'H' transponders (not all obviously but take a look ) but a worthwhile spanner job.

well done M8 some must be stronger than others.

On my 1.2m andrews with ku-band linear feedhorn and invacom c120 lnb i can get all vertical transponders 24/7 but and only get a very weak signal from the horizontals which is not enuf to lock on, But in the past on my 1.8m fortec star and 1.8m andrews and on the 1.8m prodelin i have now i can get all transponders H & V 24/7 and in the rain

I'm going to have to get the 1.5mtr one of these now as I can't wall mount a 180cm antenna without a lot of greif.

Gotta have one

What make 1.5m, I think if i has a 1.5m i would still get nilesat horizontal & vertical teansponders 24/7

horizontal i dought your get,so i put a question mark here?im in the north west uk,in good wether i can get some horizontal signels @ night only on a 1.8 dish.If your in the south uk it could be different here.hmmmmmmm

On horizontal signels from 7 west now is the best time of year to look.we all know the world spins round,@ this time we are as close to the satellite here as you going 2 be.Later in year the signel will get weaker on horizontal ones

I can get a lock on the horizontals on my 1.2 andrew but the signal is very low but on my 1.8m prodelin and 1.8m andrews i had in the past and on the 1.8m fortec star i also had in the past it horizontals are very strong, the thing with nilesat is as we are on the end of the footprint a or so miles away and the signal drops alot,

I did post some pics on one of the forums of nilesat horizontals on a fortecstar 1.8m in december i will try and find them.

Ok here is the signal i get useing the 1.2m andrews on nilesat H & V channels and here is some screen shots horizontal channels on my 1.2m. As you can see i can get the verticals fineon the 1.2m but the horizontals break up,

[rd100]

Here is some more screen shots this time of a vertical channel and some more horizontals on my 1.2m
