Because of the cband scalar TSTV may be difficult to be combined with 1w but I may be wrong or otherwise sent pictures. I will advice him to use 10e as primary if he need TSTV and the other ku bands you listed but 7e will not come up except if he cut part of the cband scalar. He must be a profesioner to do this.

You are right with your submission. The scalar ring will definitely affect tstv from popping up when using afn on that direction he mentioned. Likewise 7e if 10e is to be the primary. If any installer has tried this and it worked out, you can come out to enlighten us. But from all indication, you are right

...!the problem is that the two sat 1west and 3west is 2 degree apart and C the band lnb uses more space when attached minus the C band scalar it can't be achieved.... even the Ku lnb has its own feed horn..@3degree apart is possible....or @2degree apart it is possible with bullet lnb!

I had to cut a groove on the Cband scalar to accommodate the 3w and remove the plastic on the lnb to fit in without trouble.

in addition to this, a movie channel known as oHome has been added to nigcomsat direction. Please scan with 12518h29500 or simply blind scan your decoder

With your set up you can add TSTV close to 5e and 16e on the opposite side close to the scalar of your 10e and 26e/28e some centimetrest away from 16e.

I tried nailing AFN on 0.8w using 4175v 27500 without success, something I have done before they upgraded. If the frequency is wrong someone should post the righ one.

Hello bro,.it seems signal has reduced but please try with a new Lnb and see...(WhatsApp..233269572446)
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by life707: 12:38am On Jan 13, 2018
1.8M dish with multi- Lnb set up.

Had to remove the lnb on 16e because my 8-way diseqc could take 5lnbs from the 1.8M and 3lnbs from my 3.5M dish but the pointer depicts the position.

The marked area on the Cband scalar is where I had to cut to allow entry of the lnb

Kindly use 11167H30000 to track as it's offers u a better chance of getting the signal.

When I used 11051 and 11088 to track, I couldn't nail it

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by life707: 12:40am On Jan 13, 2018
Lnb with the plastic removed and the throat cut to fit in

Back tape applied to prevent current leak on the last pic


You MUST use a very good lnb e.g strong short neck

Please don't touch ur dish observe it for now as the signal occasionally becomes weak especially channels on 11088

Which brand of cband lnb did you use for AFN 1w. Can strong HD (15k) c band do the trick?

Super max Cband....this one isnt too impressive so had to remove it from my 3.5M to use it on the 1.8M.

Strong Cband will do a better job....so stick to it for better signal.

Wishing to add 0.8W to my ABS3 on 1.8m pan. Combined C/Ku LNB should do it because of the Sat closeness. Is it same as bullet LNB you mentioned?
