Sideways mounted lnb's thats very novel

You just have to remember to reverse the H/V polarity for the feeds

You could use the same procedure for the Astra 1C feeds at 2E - shes bouncing up and down like an excited puppy as well.

i will get this one sorted first AS

Quote:

Telecom 2D was at +3.4 about 2300 uk time last night

it's -7 atm i will have to get more lnb

i am going to go out and drop dish to -7 then try the other lnb on its way back up thanks m8

Analoguesat · 13-03-10, 06:49 PM

-7 is the longitude (8W near enough). Shes at +0.7 atm

martin-f · 15-03-10, 07:06 PM

well i can confirm that the two lnb's are locking on to her at different times i would need more lnb's to track all her movments

dish is set to 31 degrees atm and i have lost the signal on both lnb's
i have another dish to pick up thursday with two extra lnb's i will try it with 4 to see if i can track more of her movements without moving the dish up and down all the parts are freebies so its not at any cost to me just my time climbing in and out of the window

Id have thought one normally mounted lnb set on 8W on the middle of the figure 8 on the arc should cover most of the remainder of the arc.

well AS i had the dish raised to 31 degrees this morning into afternoon i lost signal on one lnb's before dinner then the second early afternoon i have just dropped dish down to 28 degrees i am getting a lock on her now on one lnb

with the looks of it from messing around i think it will need maybe 4 to track it fully
