Eurobird 3 at 33°e - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Picked up a very weak signal on TGRT EU / FOX Turkey on 33°e 11110 H 3124.

Was hoping to see FOX Turkey but caught a brief shot of the logo thanks to my Skystar 2 to confirm it had become TGRT EU.

Pitty mind you.

I can only get four transponders off this bird ATM:

12721 V - Very weak reception, unwatchable video, but catches the occasional frame.
11596 V - Good strong steady signal - around 55-60% signal strength. Only encrypted MAPTV here though
11139 V - Very weak, same as 12721. Only 1 encrypted channel here - MTV/MICK WALLONNE
11117 H - Again, very weak, but does occasionally leap up into the 40's in terms of signal strength

A very clear day here, at noon in Brighton. I'll try this again tonight, as the wind is gusting at the moment. I may also have a little bit of 'waving tree' obstruction.

Triax TD88 dish used in this test.

All those metioned are Spot B+C expect 12721 which spot C.

That has a beam over the UK.

TGRT EU is Spot Spot A+D.

11117 H No Reception currently.

Yes, I think I only have partial/intermittant LOS.

remlap · 18-03-07, 03:28 AM

Did some more looking found two lockable.

Turkish but still.

nice , you've got your dish really setup well to pull these in

are you using the gibby feedhorn +c120 lnb on the dish ?

remlap · 18-03-07, 04:31 PM

Just a regular single Invacom Universal LNB.

Got a Invacom Dual LNB waiting for another cable run so I can have my Skystar permantley pluged in and drive the dish with the Technomate.

Cant fault the Combination of Gibertini, Invacom and Motek Diseqc motor for the price.

I drive my Triax/Moteck/Invacom twin with the Skystar. The flexibility and control afforded by the various plugins is excellent.
