Which stations de 3w Abeg?
I need the tracking tp.

Lol,I does happen once in a while;mine was that mine LNB power was switch to "Off".I had to buy 2 different LNBs and returned them telling the seller he was selling fake products.I then recalled that a brand new strong LNB (I'm not sure for other products) can NEVER be bad unless it tampered by a third party;that made me take my time to double check,Alas...I found out the problem.The other was LNB FREQ;It was switched from 9750-10750 instead of 9750-10600 and all these were for clients.That day I looked like a learner. 7W is more appealing to 5E!

my znbc at 60e cracks a lot can scalar ring boost the signal on 2.4 pan dish
....
Yea ...C band scalar ring for prime focus dish is designed to reduce noise and interference thereby improve signal quality,on prime focus antenna..

Big Brother, I have done this experiment before on prime focus without any result as in no sign of signal improvement, it only worked on Offset. I will like to know why. I believe a lot in trying things and learning reasons for important actions.
Reducing noise effects especially generators' noise effects worked, but didn't improve signal.

The tripod LNB hold we use on prime focus dishes blocks as much as 10%,I have pictures of a guys setup which I'll upload later and boy,his construction shows the spirit of a typical FTA ethusiast.I have tried it out myself because my studies but I believe the setup will work just fine!

U can only get one channel on 16'e with ur 4663x (tvm).On multi tv it's capital NO.

bro u are very correct. I once tried using scalar ring on 1.8m prime focus wt d intention of boosting Sony signal for a friend but it never worked. it even reduced d signal slightly. I av only had success wt it on an offset. let's not always work with assumption.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by DoctorHindus: 6:50am On Oct 10, 2016
discussions on how scalar ring works, it makes sense. check d link. www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/how-do-scalar-rings-work.227093/

True talk. Got same results when I tried.

Oh continental is still there, das cool then.
Which should be a preferred primary btw 7w and 3w?
I need tracking tp also.

I believe you're referring to Conical Scaler Ring right?If so then you are right ; it performs better on offset dishes.

24 west z ok but east signal reduced by 11% ie 61% & 40% for 22a & 50h respectively wit 3m dish & it ok -i read a report here dat change of diletric plate position will improve it

I have tried it but not opening sp24 only is20 is working fine.What might be the problem.

Qsat autoroll is very fast and stable. It basically autorolls every single powervu channel available. You lack nothing for now.

I was referring to flat scalar ring for prime focus dish on the pic below! but conical scalar ring for offset dish will work well on offset dish cos the lnb points at offset angle and lnb is required to see smaller surface area...unlike prime focus dish...which feed is at the centre of the dish!,anything can add noise to the wanted signal..satellite signals interference with adjacent satellite..under or over illumination!
I have done experiments with flat scalar rings on 3m prime focus dish and observe slight improvements ...where only horizontal transponders was improved at the Ku band in some case like nilesat 7west..and on 2m fiber dish C band signal where signal was improved with scalar ring @68.5east! and on both antennas the lnb was attached to an lnb holder then scalar ring added! and on the 2metre fiber dish the scalar ring can be adjusted for better results and not used as lnb holder and both dish are shallow satellite antennas!however flat scalar will only work well on prime focus dish if there is noise in the received signal etc...

Press audio button on your remote. Change the channels example from left to right, if it doesn't work then come down to the second line which is usually for Language settings though it defers on different decoders but you should be able to solve it there.
