hi guys i haven't been here for a while

anyway i bought an echolink EL-777

and i wanted to know what the dish size is for digitv on 1w

do i have any hope with my 65cm or do i have to go and find a skip?

im on a 70 cm in lincs and get a very good signal on thor and signal is ok on 1w digi only prob is if it rains really bad on digi channels

hi --
--what part of the country are you ?-- i,v managed on 60 cm
but it needs to be a well matched dish / l.n.b. combination
and very precisely set up -- and as - Physcogem--said you will lose signal when it rains heavy
i,m using a 80 cm mesh with sharp white case l.n.b. now with no problems -- here in the north west

regards c.c.

Lo ltmltm.
I used to get 1w ok here on my old B&Q 60cm dish.
Level65 quality 83.
Even with my 88cm I am getting breakup today because of the weather.
Or the wind has been playing with my dish.It would not be the first time

Whats the best TP you guys are using? It may come as help for people having problems.

I have a 65cm dish here in the Midlands, and i can't get 1w, well at least when i tried...

fine here on a crappy triax td88 dish but this is fixed on 1west no motor or anything so the signal will be better

i would use a 1m for 1west to make sure signal is there even in heavy rain

ltmltm · 24-10-08, 12:35 AM

Thanks guys i just swung my dish round from 13e and got it quickly i'm gonna bolt it tommorow

RamsFan · 24-10-08, 12:52 AM

Which Transponder did you use to find it?

I can't get it on my 65cm, but i think it may come down to objects in the line of sight, but would like to know which TP you have found it with to use as guidance.

i think it was 11786 H
altough there really are better ones to go for
hope it helped
