Installation Help

[robbo71]

I haven't ventured past 28E lately, as I'm not sure if my dish will hit the fence or not yet. 42E is easy to get, mostly Turkish though, I don't remember finding anything worth watching last time I looked, but it was a while back.

Hi again,

Im still having problems locking on to 12.5w!

Just cant work it out. Ive used the motor to move it fine, w and e, but just cant get anything from any of the tp's.

It's odd because I have now found 30w, strong(ish) signal.

Any ideas??

Thanks

[robbo71]

Try 11387H, 27500. I am getting a humungous signal from there.

Robbo.

Ahh got it, moved the motor with move instead of move fine. Getting 86% on the tp you listed.

Ok now for my next problem!

When i tell my motor to go to 22w, using go to, and some others, cant list them off the top of my head, the motor does not move and I dont get the message saying moving to 22w nss.

Dont know if theres anything on these sats that it wont go to, or if i can pick anything up, was just bugging me thats all

Thanks

Told you it was humungous!

Have you tried sending it there in the installation menu? It sounds like you have not got the sats you can't go to set up for motorised use, i.e either DiSEqC1.2 or USALS.

To be honest, there is not much I can see on 22W anyway, but I have a shed blocking the bottom of the dish, so I'm probably missing a lot.

Not many channels found during scan on 12.5w, 37.

Im using 1.2, could not get any progress with usals.

Its in motorized settings in which im moving the motor to find sats and then save.

All the sats between 45e and 45w have a tick next to them in sat setup.

I'll tinker on. Just a thought do I have to save the sat in motorized settings and then find the sat?

Ive been doing it the other way round, finding the sat then saving.

Should I be able to get anything off 7w? Some of the v or h with a 1m orbital, north wales?

Thanks

[robbo71]

On my receiver, I cannot select a satellite during normal viewing if I have no channels scanned in.

I think that in Wales you will have a very slim chance of 7W on a 1m Orbital dish. I stuggle here. The strongest I can find is 11862V.

99.999999% sure you will get no Horizontals.

If your on bare minimum in kent then i wont have a cat in hells chance up here.

Will forget about that one then.

Cant get much on 4e eurobird, only a few tp's, is that big dish territory also? Same with 10e.

[robbo71]

10e should be a doddle, but by the looks of it is mosty feeds, the frequencies of which may not be in your transponder list, so you will either have to enter manually, or blind scan.
Eutelsat W1 at 10.0°E - LyngSat

4E looks to be virtually all feeds. I haven't got that one enabled. Not sure where the beams for that go, Lyngsat doesn't say. It should say on the the satcodx site or one of the others like kingofsat or flysat though.

Edit, yes 4E looks easy to get according to the footprint,

EUROBIRD 4 downlink coverages :: 4° East :: Eutelsat satellite information

Thanks for looking them up Robbo

Think ive got all the sats I can get bang on now. Just a matter of entering new tp's or doing a blind scan for feeds as you say.

11919H on 26e does not give me any signal, dont know why as I've got most active tp's on that sat, think they are MBC channels on that tp.

Thanks again
