Plz house help me out. I have a 1.8m dish with 2 lnbs attached, one for nilesat and the other for multi tv. I want to track the IRIB channels, so I bought a cband lnb to attach on the dish but my installer told me that I need a dedicated dish for the IRIB channels that I won't be able to attach it to the dish it won't work. is he right that i need another dish?

Good Morning Gurus in the House.

I think you are receiving Nilesat as fringe satellite.If this is the case you have to use another dish for IRIB.Alternatively leave Nilesat and track IRIB in both cases multitv will work on either setup.To summarize if you are not in a footprint of Nilesat your dish will be able to give you either Nilesat or IRIB not both at the same time.

Your tracking freq is wrong. Use 4055 H 27500. Then input 3964 v 30000 for irib

I saw a house for sale and i saw through the fence that there was a big dish inside... i was looking for 3m that time to use for OSN/Nilesat... the compound was a very big compound and the dish appeared to me as a 3m.... i arranged with the agents and i paid for the dish, it was when i went back to the house to carry it i met the shock of my life... The dish was so big that we could not even carry it into the back of the van... it took about 15 men to lift the dish into the van.... then, during installation, i needed a crane to hang it up on the stand.. i will upload a pic of the dish later for all to see... I have been using the dish for more than 4 yrs... very solid dish...

ths a great dish thea....Hot bird is the limit.....here in E.Africa its a no go zone grin

I get almost all the channels on hotbird with the exception of a few sky italia hd channels and Sky calcio 15 and some primafila channels... i am looking for an LNB that is very good with fringe satellite reception so i can nail all the channels on the bird...

My dish is very very big... it is so big that they call our House "Satellite House".... it is a 5.5m fibre dish...
Hmmm....if I may ask how much did u purchase the dish as of then? also with that type u should be getting almost all Sky UK channels including HD & 3D channels which u can unscramble with any good European Cccam/MgCamd providers. If u need suggestions I can provide for u.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Spy360(m): 6:41am On Sep 16, 2014
Two questions for the gurus...
1. Does the height of dish affect reception like in terestial antennas?
2. I saw 2 types of strong lnb, one with box and the other has cylinder base. Any difference? Which is better?
Thanks a million.

U're making a mistake. After scanning, u'll be required to press yes or no. I'm certain u do click on No. I make d same mistake too for a very long time till i realized. Try it again and press "yes"

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 10:35am On Sep 16, 2014
@Spy360.No and Yes depending on where you are siting the antenna.The first and most important consideration when choosing
a prospective antenna site is whether or not the area can provide an acceptable "look angle" at all the satellites required.The location or siting of the antenna must be such that you have a clear and unobstructed view facing south, southeast or southwest.In other words,you must ensure that no large trees,buildings,etc.,prevent a clear field of view.
Field tests have shown that the first one (in bold) performed better especially on fringe reception.

Pls permit me to ask again, I was trying to track etv hyde park but got etv capetown, are they the same?
Again tell me the difference among Sirius 4, Astra 4a, Ses 5 and Eutelsat 7a. Which one is Zuku, Star times and Etv in.
Thank you.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 2:41pm On Sep 16, 2014
@Spy360. first service => 12710V DVB-S 4430-3/4
etv africa => 12722V DVB-S 4430-3/4 or 12728V DVB-S 4430-3/4
etv cape town = etv hyde park => 12734V DVB-S 4430-3/4 or 12740V DVB-S 4430-3/4

Sirius4 = Astra 4A/SES 5 at 4.9°E
Eutelsat7A/7B at 7.0°E
Zuku, Startimes and Etv are on Astra 4A/SES 5
