With 46% you shld enjoy it without freezing. Good thing is it doesn't disappear at night like the former one at 20 W.

Sports24, 90% with 2.4m. One thing is sure, your decoder isn't Strong, that signal could be 55% or 57% on srt4922 even 4950h wouldn't go that far.

i dont think we get your question right. explain better
what i can receive what i have.
Second i got dual band cku lnb on the bigh dish.
Settings f ku and c band for intelsat 20 8n dreambox primefocus needed t be how many degrees in elevation higher than offset dish
Last which option is for me better i believe mbc have English nilesat nwa beam possible my location.
Thinking 1st now to motorized a 3.3m mesh dish c band and later replace with 4.5m mesh.
Second motorized a general3.2 two piece solid pfocus f ku band and or later 3.8 dish that u seen at embassies

Other question got overview on intelsat 20 which sat is better astra 4.9 e for reception or intelsat 20 also on extra fta reception after the onpenview hd package
So what able to receive with my setups
Finally to what upgrade my old dreambox decoder. I want t watch 52.3 e yahasat and if i can get nilesat and 28.2e,hotbird excetra especially
Can a normal decoder work like a satellite perfect sp500 anybody know how t upgrade these decoders are strong only one usuable don't want everytime to upgrade decoder looking for something can do general fta and multi tv mbc action still also later usuable f extra .careds not paired like common access
Can use my dreambox for extraview f dstv,

Don't get all the astral 4a with m1.8m dish also some reason my lnb freq seems t make some channels appear t be how108 lowerthan on flysat list Oslo changing the vertical t horizontal
Got vertical not showing or locking like horizontal that's supposed t be vertical on flysat so lnb freq polarization changes or swap the reverse from flysat

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by sauceEEP(m): 8:47am On May 23, 2016
Geeks in the house, can I add another lnb to my zuku/startime dish to receive more fta channels? If yes I need the tp to track it and the channels.

Combining two lnbf on one dish is giving me tough time. Tried attaching another lnb to pick tvc news on my already tracked multi TV dish but I failed. Please I need to know where am getting it wrong. Does lnb skew and elevation matter when attaching a secondary?

Bros, fortunately you can achieve all you have mentioned 'but' you need a big motorize 2.4m dish only. Combine three lnbfs(one cband with dielectric Plate, one cband without plate and one Ku-Band). That is the only way to get everything you have mentioned. On Apstar7 you will get premium cartoon channels like Disney, NICK JR and so on, you will also have channels like E-entertainment, SONY movies, AXN, etc in HD with other stations that air good recent TV series. Telemundo is also free on Apstar 7 in English Language. Then on IS20 Cband - HBO and SONY-PIX for top blockbuster movies. AFN Atlantic on 1west also offers good premium movies with better picture quality than other receivable AFN found elsewhere. For Sports you have SONY on IS20 and Sports24 on 34w. Your MBCs are easy to get with even 90cm but with 3-in-1 motorized dish, everything is covered. That is if you have space for a 2.4m dish and of course you will need a very good installer for that. For local channels you will get NTA, Channels TV and WAP TV all free. I can tell you that with this combo you will feel like watching more than DSTV 'free' in your home.

Which lnb do one use as the primary the one with plate or without .

I attached a picture, Ku-Band as primary, c-band with plate will be below the primary, while cband without plate is on top of the primary. Reason, if cband without plate is attached below the primary, it will cut off Thaicom from the motor, because sats that require plates starts from Intelsat 906 at 64. 2°E. While sats that doesn't require plate starts from Thaicom 5&6 @78.5°E. That setup has to be like that for maximum efficiency.

Wao that's great.you are a guinus.now what if I use lnb with plate as the primary and the one with out plate and Ku on top.would l get such impressive result.

Like I said, the lnb without plate can only be used as primary or on top if used below you will lose Thaicom unless you want to sacrifice Thaicom, again using Ku-Band on top is OK but could be problematic when finding the dish balance because Ku-Band signal tends to disappear with slight shift. Example I am in Anambra State where 9e is difficult, when I used Ku-Band on top of the primary, finding the balance between getting 9e, IS20 ku and MBC became problematic because 9e goes with slightest shift and I still had to balance the other lnbs, that is why I ended up with ku as primary and it worked.

If you go to Lyngsat or Flysat and you see the Cband frequency indicated as 3675 L 2000 or 3675 R 2000 instead of the usual H or V just know you will need that teflon plate inside your Cband LNB
