Sky Dish Can I receive Turkish Tv Channels? - Page 9 - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Recommend a 78cm or 88cm (West beam & S1) to be safe and to cope with fain fade attenuation.

78cm would be a good choice.

I have installed 50+ Turksat

Let me give you some advice. Ive been trying for Turksat also, and have wasted a lot of time, maybe i can help save you some. I have had a lot of great advice from Robbo and Sat man. I got a 60cm dish and have tried Turksat - now i can pick up the signal but it is very difficult. What i would say is that if you have got good accessibility to your dish/bracket then you could get away with a 60cm dish. But it sounds as if you (like me) have a dish in a very awkward position. In that case I would recommend you get a new 80cm dish and bracket and put it somewhere lower and more accessible. A 80cm would hold the signal a lot better and the weather wouldnt affect the signal as much, as with the 60cm when i rains you get a bad signal. GL

Thanks RobinHood. Now I am getting confused though. I had reports of guys having no problems rain or sunshine with a 45cm Sky Minidish with at least all the TRT channels. I went one size bigger for a Zone 2 60cm dish to be safer. All I want is all the TRT channels, all I get now is TRTINT on Astra 19.2. If I get TRT 1 - 4 I will be happy. Dont you guys think I can manage that with a 60cm reliably ? Would this be the reason why nobody can find the satellite ?

The reason why no one can find the satellite is because they may not know what they are doing of course.

TRT on 11.919 can be received with a 60cm as it EIRP West beam is 53dBW for UK and on Turksat 2A.

You might find installers reluctant to install with such a small dish for this satellite. My contact hasn't come back as of yet

Does that mean that West Beam will be ok with 60cm ? Rain and Shine ?

satelliteman · 22-07-08, 01:47 PM

Should be but,..........I would go for a PENTA 68cm, quality dish

**** I AM GOING TO TEST IT ON MY ZONE 2 HERE IN THE MIDLANDS, ***

I will post the results in half an hour.

Thank you !!!

satelliteman · 22-07-08, 02:17 PM

OK,

***CONFIRMED RESULTS FOR 11.919V / TRT - LOCATION MIDLANDS UK***

That's how long it took me to rig up a new Zone 2 dish and align on 42e

*** Receivable transponder with Zone 2 to an acceptable level ***

I am afraid my contact is away so you'll have to search for an installer OR do it yourself.

For your installer ( if he knows what this means )

> Signal power 72.3dBuV
> MER 10.8
> bBER 4.0 E-4

GIVEN YOU ONLY WANT THIS TRANSPONDER, YOU WILL OK WITH A Z2 DISH ALTHOUGH I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND A 78CM
