Well I have fitted my latest dish. I know when the LNB is fitted it is going to shadow the hotbird dish but it is just temporary at the moment.

I was hoping to get 30w but as you can see from the second photo I think the corner of the house is going to block it

madrat · 31-07-07, 06:35 PM

15w looks interesting, bu I think I need a bigger dish for that, and the roof might still get in the way

wod · 31-07-07, 06:47 PM

cant you move the dish across the roof to get 30west and also you might be better with zone 2 minidishes

BGonaSTICK · 31-07-07, 11:48 PM

I think you might be lucky with 30W - it might be high enough in the sky that the house/roof isn't in the way after all. Give it a go!

madrat · 01-08-07, 12:51 PM

I will give it a go. Will have to get a cranked mast if I can pick it up.

What size dish is needed for 15w.

BGonaSTICK · 01-08-07, 07:18 PM

Not sure what the min. size would be for you. My 90 pulls it all in OK.

madrat · 01-08-07, 08:47 PM

Well its Bad news/Good news/Bad news

Couldn't get 30w with the min dish.

But I could get it with that crappy lidl dish

Managed to use the Fortec Star mount I had too

Signal quality is comming in at 62-72% apart from Tp 12522v & 12547v thats at 50%

BUT the following Tp's have no signal

11474h
11535v 23%
11577v
11615h 28%
11682v
11676h
11933v
12094h
12719v

First thing I'm going to do is move the hotbird dish to See if that makes any difference. If not ant idea's :?

madrat · 02-08-07, 05:07 PM

I have had a bit of a move about. 2' to the left , 1' back and repositioned the hotbird dish.

It has improved things a bit on 30w, and I have even managed to get a few feeds but I am still missing some TP off the lying sat list :?

11474h
11535v
11615h
11676h
11682v
12094h
12719v

Dose any one know why

BGonaSTICK · 02-08-07, 09:35 PM

My results:

11474h - Nothing here
11535v - Nothing here
11615h - Plenty of stuff on 11616H 27500, but very low signal (10% indicated on SS2)
11676h - Nothing here
11682v - Mana Sat 1 and Mana Sat 2 here, but very low signal (10% indicated on SS2)
12094h - Nothing here
12719v - Nothing here

My 90cm dish is slightly mal-aligned on Hispasat, so I could increase these figures considerably, but I think this explains your results perfectly. You're not going to get them on that dish.

STICK

thanks

as long as its not just me then.

I am trying to persuade the wife that one 95cm dish would look better on the roof than the present collection :spite:

Just need a spare £200 for dish,motor,mount and 1000D receiver

I have been watching VH1 on 30w for most of the day but the signal is starting to slowly get worse, gone from 42% to 36%
