You could get it with a 80cm according to this:_ttp://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/eam22_wideeur.html,assuming you are after the Eastern Slavic channels on the wide beam.

You can use three receivers with a motorised dish, but only one will be able to control it.

Yes, I am only interested in Russian/Belarussian/Ukrainian (same thing really) channels and these are seems to be on a wide beam. Thanks!

This isn't an option for me - kids want to watch Disney on 13.0E and wife want 53.0E at the same time. So it looks like the best solution is to use 3 dishes, each one with quad LNB. Just in case.

BTW, are there any inexpensive signal testers with satellite identification?

BGonaSTICK · 05-09-07, 01:51 PM

Ah, yes. I remember you have a complex setup there now.

No cheap meters AFAIK, just use ordinary meter and receiver.

Be aware the Russies use a very high symbol rate so make sure the receiver you are going to use can handle 44950!

Hey, I might be Russky but you don't need to tell things twice

I think TM9100 should be able to handle such symbol rate although I never tried. Are there any channels witch such s/r on 28.2E and/or 13.0E so that I could test it?

Well my window frame cable came today. Complete and utter waste of time if you have double glazing

The drills come out again now and theres another hole in the wall now

Save your money and buy a drill is the only advise i can give

What's the problem? Doesn't fit? The one from Maplin is specifically advertised for double glazing.

UPD: Just put mine through double glazing - perfect, no problems whatsoever.

BGonaSTICK · 05-09-07, 07:18 PM

Would be interesting to hear if you notice any significant signal loss using it.

Unknown user #1 · 05-09-07, 08:38 PM

Yup, that'll be interesting experience. However, my wife just decided that we shall go on a holiday this Friday so the setup will be delayed for two weeks. Women!
