35cm portable solid dish - UK reception. - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Yorks · 26-08-07, 11:28 PM

This is the dish that comes with the portable kits -Comag,Silvercrest,Tevion. It's dimensions are 35cm wide by 38cm high. Mine was supplied with the Tevion receiver with 10 meters of white RG6 c@ble and a 0.3db single universal lnb.

I am situated in South Yorkshire and using the above equipment I have tuned in the following satellites using the transponders and channels that I have listed below. I had no trouble locating satellites using these frequencies. All the transponder frequencies/channels recorded, were received without any picture break. Weather conditions - fair, light cloud.

I have chosen not to complicate matters by referring to signal strength/quality percentages, as these differ from receiver to receiver. Basically, if the picture is not breaking up - it's fine. All channels are FTA.

30W. 12010V 27500. BBC World.

15W. 11061H 19280. CNBC.

12.5W. 11386H 27500. Fashion TV.

8W. 12566V 27500. Atlas TV.

5W. 11590V 20000. France 2

1W. 11324H 24500. BBC World.

5E. 11766H 27500. Star TV UKR.

7E. 11344H 27500. Africable.

9E. 11783H 27500. Nessuno TV.

13E. 11430V 27500. BBC World.

19.2E. 11596V 22000. BBC World.

23.5E. 11914H 27500. TV Oost.

28.2E. 10758V 22000. ITV1 London.

39E. 12522V 30000. Cyprus Sat.

42E. 12134V 3330. Business Channel.

Once locked on to satellites, by auto scanning (blind scan) many more channels can be received.

No signal received on 10E, 16E and 36E. Although 16E has a few quite strong signals, (A l s a t RTV for instance), they are very low symbol rates and are impossible to pick up on such a small dish.

Great post. Have you got any good pictures of the dish?

Perhaps I should ask "Can you take some decent pictures of the dish and post them please?"

They usually come as part of the kit, but know doubt you could get one from fleebay after the seller has realised that he can't get Digitalb without upgrading to 1 meter dish.
