i just swopped out the single lnb for a 8 way one

h**p://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300396493974&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

the signal on my tm500 went from 84% to 88 % straight away and saw the bubble on the disc was offline, so belt the dish till was in middle

is 88% ok?

martin-f · 13-03-10, 01:06 PM

88% it depends what sat/tp your on if your on showtime 7w then its great

tell us what sat/tp your checking on and i will check mine m8

Rick · 13-03-10, 01:15 PM

assuming your on 28e, that should do fine.

River-Rat · 13-03-10, 01:16 PM

Analoguesat · 13-03-10, 02:39 PM

River-Rat · 13-03-10, 07:05 PM

mmm is the dish out then mate?

Analoguesat · 13-03-10, 07:38 PM

Possibly - or some of the frequencies are missing. I think mine has the German feeds frequencies loaded as well

Check your database here:

FlySat Eurobird 1 - Astra 2A/2B/2D @ 28.5/28.2° East

River-Rat · 13-03-10, 07:50 PM

ok thanks, is it as was scanned at 28.2? not 28?

Analoguesat · 13-03-10, 07:52 PM

Astra 2's - 28.2E
Eurobird 1 - 28.5E

Generically referred to as "28 east"

You may find the EB1 frequencies are missing from your list - some receivers have them in a seperate table.
