Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
Lunsat: Splitter needs only one decoder, Dual LNB needs two decoders.
2way splitters can work with two receivers! I have used it and it works even on two different frequencies !use a satellite splitter not uhf/vhf /cable splitters!

[quote author=kwame-king]Yes I've seen that from flysat. So what exactly does that 'FEC' mean? Does it mean with the new Fec, Irib can be received with 1m dish? Pls answer me......[/quote]FEC...which is forward error correction....is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable noisy communication channels...in a DTH application, if we have sufficient bandwidth that is in power limited operation we can use lower-order modulation ..in such a case low rate fec like 1/2 or 2/3 to spread out the signal can be used...

Note that FEC, can determine the minimum threshold to receive a particular signal or satellite transmission...where threshold, is the minimum %quality to lock a particular transponder from a satellite broadcast without freezing, where going below threshold means freezing..In some instances low rate fec may reduce dish size to receive a particular TP..Bearing it in mind, it does not determine EIRP of a satellite coverage ...The higher the fec rate, the higher the threshold...the lower the fec rate, the lower the threshold...where low fec rate are; 1/2 and 2/3 and high rate fec are;3/4, 5/6, 7/8 or 8/9..

Depending on some strong boxes ..like my old strong mpeg2 dvbs receiver x s series... FEC rate Threshold signal percentage/quality are as follow...

FEC RATE **** %QUALITY/CHANNEL LOCK

1/2..... ... 30% or over 30% locks Tp/channel without freezing ...
2/3..... ... 35% or over 30% locks Tp/channel without freezing...
3/4..... ... 40% or over 40% locks Tp/channel without freezing..
5/6..... ... 45% or over 45 locks Tp/channel without freezing...
7/8..... ... 50% or more will lock a Channel and no freezing...

It is more easy to lock a tp with high signal quality and low rate FEC...rather than high signal quality and high rate FEC...I hope this helps.. grin grin

IT4ALL: I need more knowledge on dis lnb...a c-band dual polrity...does it mean it work fƠ̴͡я̲̅ c-band ãήϑ ku...it has only one port...pls! Help me
C-band lnb with dual polarity¤¤simply mean it has both circular polarity R/L añd linear polarity H/V ..that doesn't mean it can work on ku band¤

notindome: is it possible then after connecting lets say 4lnbs together with 4way disec, then the single point output will be connected to a 2/4way splitter? will this work?if yes is there any additional setting for the recievers? thank you
it is possible with satellite splitter...i have connected splitter from lnb to diseqc to receiver it worked...but didn't try lnb to diseqc to splitter then to receiver....may be you can just experiment on it grin

4llerbuntu: Hello

Sorry o. Pls mugun here

Is this attached pic what they call diseq to join multiple LNB to one decoder?

Me sef be jjc for dis side
Why asking ....it is written 4way splitter not diseqc....it can join 4 receivers from one lnb port...

naijaobi: and sir i just input the aljezera tp u calculated above @arbsat 20 degrees?and i cnt hit green..my ku band lnb frequency is set at 9.750/10600 and lnb type is universal
try this on my-tv @ 68.5eat...move your dish to intelsat 20 @ 68.east...go to arabsat @ 20east c band configuration on the receiver and add this tp..3028 v 26657..let see what will happen..
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m): 11:13pm On Aug 29, 2013
naijaobi: @oga ODILIBE...i have input the tp u gave above, its red..
I have a mesh dish with combination of both ku and c band lnb...
My ku band lnb frequency is 9.750/10.600... Lnb type is universal...
While for c band lnb frequency is 5.150 and lnb type is single..
Daalu..
The above conversion is valid when c band Lnb frequency is 5150 and 9750 for ku band...

converting ku band to C-band
Now below conversion is valid when lnb high band lo frequency setting is 10600 ku band..
try this on intelsat 20 @ 68.5east for ku band.... using my tv frequency which is high band..if your lnb setting is already at 9.750/10.600 leave setting as it is.. try this for ku band frequencies between 11700 to 12725

where lnb high band lo frequency=10600 and C-Band lo frequency =5150
my-tv parameter @ 68.5east = 12722 v/h 26657

12722-10600=2122
subtract 5150 from 2122
5150-2122=3028...this is my-tv c-band conversion...move dish to 68.5east ..go to any c band satellite configuration and add this frequency and symbol rate it will be green..my-tv;3028 v 26657 grin

obnelly: Got aljazeera america today on arabsat 20e .its kind of funny I received all the c band with ku band transponder including irib .its really a crazy satellite world.is any body getting that channel on 20e lately?
I have previously experienced this on my strong receiver during multi satellite and auto-scan..back in the days of analogue services,there is this installer who converted c-band frequency to ku band to track c band frequency from my analogue box because the box can only deliver ku band frequency.. grin. what actually happened was that Your receiver have converted C-Band frequency to ku band frequency...using the ku band lnb settings on your receiving,you must have done auto-scan or blind scan on ku band satellite configuration ...below is the mathematical formular for converting ku band frequency to c band and c band frequency to ku are below....

converting ku to c band..

assuming frequency :11938 v symbol rate:27500
where lo frequency for universal lnb =9750
where C-Band lo frequency=5150
11938-9750=2188
now subtract 2188 from c band lo frequency which is 5150
i.e 5150-2188=2962
ku to c band conversion=2188..now add this tp on c-band satellite setting or configuration

Converting c band to ku band are below

arabsat jsc frequency @ 20east are as follow frequency 4054 symbol rate 27500
where c band lo frequency;5150 and ku lo frequency;9750
subtract frequency from lnb lo frequency
i.e 5150-4054=1096
then add 1096 to ku lnb lo frequency=9750
that is 9750+1096=10846
c band conversion to ku band for aljazeera @ 20east =frequency ;10846 v/h symbol rate =27500
if dish this is at 20east ..if you go to nilesat or any ku satellite setting and add this frequency it will be green grin

Lunsat: Apparently the full IRIB package is also on Chinasat 12 @ 87.5E
The signal covers the middle of Africa from Sudan to the bottom of Tanzania. My dish cant tilt that far down but those who can can try.
If you are using a ku-band offset dish...you need to invert the dish or instal it upside down.. that will give you more room to see satellites in lower orbit or below 68.5east...i hope this helps grin

[quote author=George_D]If you look inside the throat, you'll see two delicately protruding tentacles. These are what enables the LNB receive both horizontal and vertical polarized signals.[/quote]@George...talking of h and v tentacles, some lnb(s)these days don't even have the horizontal and vertical probe visible just like the inverto black ultra quad offset..the horizontal and vertical probe are completely invisible,sealed on the wall of the throat unlike other lnb(s)..just in case someone looks into one of these lnb(s) and get surprised. grin gringrin grin

One can boost signal reception by removing the throat cover of some certain lnbf. .[/quote]you are right! I have experienced this using Fuji prime focus lnb by removing the white plastic cover increases the signal quality when tracking sat ,but not a big difference cool

pboy2buzy: This is my set up 4 c-band and ku-band......but am unable 2 receive c-band satellites(only 68.5)...and am unable 2 receive eultesat 16'e...but I do receive amos 5,eutelsal 17'e....pls help....I stay in benin city....and d dish in d pic is facin intelsat68.5'E
Are you sure you inserted the dielectric plate In your c-band lnb feed to receive other satellites with circular polarity i.e L/R ! If you can receive good signal @ 68.5east C-band, depending on your dish size you should be able to receive other C-band satellites that are on the same ARC ,here are the list of satellites at same arc; thaicom @ 78.5east,apstar 7 @ 76.5east, intelsat 22 @ 72.1east, intelsat 20 @ 68.5east, intelsat 906 @ 64.2east, intelsat 902 @ 62.east, intelsat 904 @ 60east, nss12 @ 57east, paksat @ 38east, arabsat @ 30.5east, arabsat 5c @ 20east, intelsat @ 1west, eutelsat @ 5west, express @ 11west, intelsat 901@ 18west, nss7 @ 20west, ses4 @ 22west, intelsat 905 @ 24.5west, intelsat 907 @ 27.5 west, intelsat 25 @ 31.5west, intelsat 903 @ 34.5west, nss10 @ 37.6 west and 50west....


Where 36east,28east,5east,7east,16east seems to be on a different arc...

To receive all satellites on a motorised dish @ different satellite arcs...when dish points at 0degree it should be able to bend side-ways at the left when standing at the back of the dish or when pointing dish on intesat @ 1west your dish should also bend side-ways and points at 2angles...then 7east 16east 28east 5east will all fall into place

check your dish bracket if it can manuever side-ways at 0degree or at any other angle etc....

cheers cool
