I really want to see what my little Fibo 90 can do

My TD110 struggled big-time.

if its true that the fibo design makes it work like a 110cm dish then you should get something verticals at least

i cant get 7west due to location so i've got interested in arabsat as got a sniff of mbc channels other night

if i had a fibo i'd have it on the 1224 motor

Just done a NIT search, pulled in 148 TV channels (some pixalated) - Near Lincoln with a 1.5M sat-chaser dish.

Will probably do a blind scan later to see what it finds.

NIT is the network information table, it basically scans in all the channels on the active transponders of the satellite

I thought a NIT search was what the school nurse used to do with the metal comb when we were all still wearing short trousers?!

I seem to remember that her name was Nora...

Has anyone managed to get 11996H. The Boro v City game is on there tomorrow and its the only channel carrying it. I can get a few channels on 7W with my 1.5m irte dish but can't get that bugger. Was just wondering whether it was worth having a play and fine tuning the dish
