Just to put some closure to this thread.

New lnb purchased and installed today, all frequencies that I could'nt get before are now viewable.

Thanx

I have just come across a new problem. For some reason I am unable to pick up a signal from the 8 west sat. Should I be able to pick up a signal with an 80cm dish.

Thanx

What transponder are you looking at for 8w ? An 80cm should be ok, but Telecom 2D is inclined so wobbles on it's orbit. So it's elevation is always changing.

Try using 11703H on Atlantic Bird 4 to line up on.

No joy, although that transponder isnt listed in my azbox on 7w. I am unable to get anything from 4w,7w,8w although I can pick up 12.5w, 14.8w,15w, 18w, 22w,30w. If I try and move the dish will it knock out all the sats.

You won't get 4w or 7w on a 60cm dish and it's possible that it's too small even for 8w.

A mistype earlier, that transponder is on AB2 at 8w, not AB4A on 7w, sorry for the confusion.

Would have thought 60cm would be OK for 8W,

I replied to this thread last night but the forum went down, but basically, try this tp- 11106H 6667 3/4

caspien · 19-03-10, 06:16 PM

The dish has been upgraded to an 80cm dish , 60cm in the tip. So is 80cm too small too . If not could it be the angle of the dish. I have just done a scan all frequecies with azbox on 4w and picked up 4 channels , 1 of which is showing cheltenham, if I can pick this up this why cant I pick up any of the others. Sorry for all the questions but totaly new to this game and knowledge is very limited.

Robbo · 19-03-10, 06:18 PM

Not all transponders are of equal strength. Yes 80cm is OK for some 8W, I'm sure.

Rick · 19-03-10, 07:01 PM

Yeah you should get quite a bit on 8w with an 80cm. 4w is very weak for us in the UK, 7w even weaker.
