ryusufu:
but I think astra connect on astra 28E and tooway are faster, but it's impossible to get in Nigeria. We are considering testing 4.5m to nail astra 28E Europe beam in Kano

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 5:11pm On Aug 06, 2015
See if you can lock the Global beam on Thaicom 5 @ 78.5°E
-3640 H 28066-3/4 (Emmanuel TV,etc)
Input 4151 H 14670-3/4 (BBC Knowledge Asia)
and lift your dish slightly upwards.The lifting must be done slowly.

the dish is lock on amos 5 which direction should it face,you know prime focus is not like offset that i have leant
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m):
East and very close to the horizon (Horizon = 0 degree)
And make sure your skew is correct.Your Skew should be zero when the dish is
is pointed at the horizon.For a MOTORIZED DISH SETUP,rotate your dish to face the horizon. At the horizon el=0 degree. Now turn your c band lnb until the 0 mark points straight up or down. Observe that if this is done properly, the vertical probe inside the lnb should be parallel to your mount pole.

blexxonmak:
East and very close to the horizon (Horizon = 0 degree)
which means the dish will face up in the sky
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 5:51pm On Aug 06, 2015
No.
Horizon is the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 6:01pm On Aug 06, 2015
Or horizontally

will 90cm track it?
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by agkilis: 12:15am On Aug 07, 2015
Truly1:
Srt 4950 series opens all Apstar 7 channels automatically. You don't have to input any pvu key with the latest software, so try it.
you ask me to try Apstar 7,you did not tell me if its ku -band or c-band and frequency and symbol rate i have spent the whole day for nothing with fuel ,just following your advise do something about this
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 4:17am On Aug 07, 2015
@Talenty. Reception on Apstar 7 shouldn't be a big deal.Make sure the dish tracks the Satellite Arc properly.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 4:26am On Aug 07, 2015
@agkilis. 90cm = NO.

1.8m dish can conveniently track it in south south Nigeria,i believe it can be achieveable at your place.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by obnelly: 4:36am On Aug 07, 2015
Time for action.some stubborn birds must bow.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 4:38am On Aug 07, 2015
@Mykbic. You need minimum of 1.8m pf dish and Standard 17K Linear C Band LNBF for reception on IS 20/C @ 68.5E.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 4:48am On Aug 07, 2015
@faithchild. I doubt if you can have a good reception on Nilesat with 2.4m dish in Ekiti/Akure,SW Nigeria.

Mr Man,take it easy with him. You can track apstar7 @ 76e (c-band ),I even get thaicom @ 78e using the global beam. To make things easier for you,just track IS 20 @ 68.5 with this tp 3739 h 26597 or 3974 v 19850. Make sure you remove the dielectric plate in d lnb b4 tracking. After u are done, just blindscan. Don't bother going for apstar 7 if you can get IS 20 cos they share similar premium channels u will enjoy. Blexxonmak has done a good analysis on how to track Sats close to the horizon except he 4got to talk of removing the dielectric plate maybe because he is using a bigger dish.
