irukandji89: Good morning.

Pls, from this link, www.lyngsat-maps.com/NSS-12.html it is shown that the nss-12 57E beam is c band and requires abt 1m dish size in nigeria.
Is this correct?

Bencoprof: wonders shal never end.hello guys i was surfing through the net and i found this pics.an lnb placed below a celing and it was used to track intelsat20@68.5e.uhmmm.is this real?

microgiant:
It is possible, that is one of the experiments I want to embark on next. An inverted offset dish is used for low elevation satellites. The dish, for low elevation of the satellite above the horizon, would point to the ground if installed right way up.
So you invert the dish, its been done and proven. But I'm not sure if any nairalander had tried it.
In essence, that Intelsat20@68.5°E LNB was installed using the inverted dish principle, which I have also wanted to experiment but for time constraints.
Sir Odilibe posted pictures of inverted dish on this forum.
These Satellites all have KU-Beams covering Nigeria
Eutelsat 70B @ 70.5°E, Africa Beam
ABS 2 @ 75.0°E, South & Central Africa Beam
Apstar 7 @ 76.5°E, Africa Beam.
The only way you can receive the above beams with a KU Offset dish is by inverting, otherwise the dish would be pointing to the ground.
I just need to get active TPs and create time for the experiment.

But looking at the pic, the dish wasnt inverted. just the normal multiple lnb on one dish trick we've all being doing for long.

@bencoprof,

forget about the under the roof thing, doesnt have any effect on the overall setup. Its just that the installer happened to have taken the dish a bit high towards the roof.

my regards.

odilibe: ..there are three C band beams on n nss12..actually it is 110cm/1.1m for the west hemi beam but the global beam gives 290cm/2.9m dish..that means overall dish size is 290cm for nss12 ,west/global beam in Nigeria...where a 2.4m dish may lock the entire TP on nss12@57.east!

Cheers!

microgiant:
I never said the dish was inverted

odilibe: I think the dish is using two lnb arms...lnb at 68.5east is equal to inverted dish! though the PIC is not clear!
Have you noted that satellite offset antennas with dual focus gives more gain than normal focus offset satellite antennas..that is a 90cm double focus dish is equal to 110 cm normal focus offset dish...

Cheers!

Prof Olenyi
long time no see, welcome back.

I never said the dish was inverted. What I am implying is that by checking the picture very well hope you will agree with me that if the dish is inverted the LNB arm of the dish will be approximately where the Intelsat20@68.5°E LNB is presently.

Please take a look at a picture of an inverted dish and compare.

microgiant: @odilibe, there is only one LNB arm, what you are seeing is the batten. The LNB is actually attached to the ceiling batten. Nigerians are ingenious.

Segunod: SSHD3Ni, SSHD5Ni, SS3Ni and SS5Ni currently fta on 36.... enjoy while it last

Timijo: Pls has anyone been able to use biss key to descramble multi tv tv3 on SRT 4950 decoder? I have tried different methods I read here and other sites but all could not avail.

Bencoprof: @olenyi u re makin sense here.this dish wasnt inverted.the instaler is a jink..from what olenyi said,the dish was raised upward so that the lnb placed below the ceiling wil be in that region of the dish.i.e the dish is slightly housing the lnb..the lnb is within the range of the dish.

sammu:
U must patch ur decoder to enjoy this feature.

Easy200: please I would like to know the FTA channels on 7°E I'm thinking of adding an lnb for it thanks my people.

Kamaye: I need a help please, my strong decoder 4922 failed to receive the Daarsat package AIT, NTA and the rest but all the channels on that satellite (Amos 5) are showing except the the Daarsat channels even with blind scan. Can somebody help me with the frequency to input manually or any suggestion please?
