I can report good reception of Eurobird 9 on a 43 cm zone 1 minidish. Signal quality in the mid 40's on a fine sunny morning here in Scotland using a FortecStar Classic

The TVTel channels seem to have disappeared again as they arent scanning in, but all the fta stuff is there. (I had the dish balanced on my knees!)

80%+ quality here with a lnb lashed to the side of my 13E lnb with a zip tie! (80 cm dish)

This will be a permanent fixing for this sat if I can stop the birds sitting on the lnb and moving it....

Sadly no reception of anything off W1

And heres the proof - C Music with
SNR 91%
AGC 89% and
BER 0

Yes I know the shot says its 10E - I havent finished modifying all the settings yet

cant you tape a piece of spike strips to the top of the lnb like they do on buildings to stop the pigeons

you still getting another 1metre dish for the garden ?

i shall add 9east to my list on the receiver now

Analoguesat · 04-11-07, 04:22 PM

Ive put some upward pointing zip ties around the lnb - I'll post some pics of the lash up later

Dont know about another 1m dish - Im pushing my luck with 5 dishes and 8 lnb's

I'll be putting a temporary 80cm dish up for New Years Eve so I can get the Uzbek channel on 40E (if its not too windy)

Its coming to a time when your thinking of seeing in New Years already eh.

What was the record last year for numbers of New Years?

Err - 11 or 12 or something lie that!

I'll post something on the forum at the beginning of December so folks have plenty of time to get themselves sorted out
