cant pick up 3 deg east

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

10.0° east is extremely powerful for some TP's, i would forget about if you can pick up 10.0°e and 39.0° e as to get 3.1° east you should be looking at maximising signal on 7.0° west and 26.0° east, these are considered the harder of the two to track due to the fact that you have a very powerful Eutelsat 8 @ 8.0° west which could swamp some TP's on 7 west and of course 28.2° east Astra which again swamps 26 east.

The only reason you would go to the end of an average ARC say 30.0° west and 39° east is to make sure you are tracking it correctly ie: not too high and not too low.

I find the strongest transponder on this bird is 12741H 12620 DVB-S2 8PSK 2/3 (Euro News)

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

26 east is a very strong signal and also 5 east i have tried starting from 5 east and slowly nudging towards 3 east but nothing

Sounds like your ARC is out seeing as your in the south which would mean you have a better chance of hitting this than someone in the North.

Yep, with a 1.2m you definately can recieve it, so you basically need to adjust manually at the dish itself to get those transponder. This is what I had to do for another similiar setup. It is the most minor movement but it is the difference.

Lucky you, spent a good hour this morning trying to peak my dish using Diseqc and nudging to no avail, unable to do anything at the dish due to bad back, I know my dish is a little off due to loss of some channels on .8 W

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

still no luck i can pick up 42e 39 e 26e 28e 19e 13e 10e 7e 5e but no 3 east i am running out of ideas i think i will try another box may be a old tm1500ci that always pickups weak signals

dont give up crazybandit, if your dish big enough and location right, try the transponder numbers above, i found them the strongest, even for me signals there one minute, then gone, perhaps weather conditions dont help, and certain times of day signal dips!!
tip, you perhaps not receiving because you need to wait for signal to active, try them numbers above.
good luck, but dont up-set your currant system to much.
if you do get, just post if you want greek biss numbers/if you cannot find???
p.s. them tech-no-mate 1500ci+ good box, i had one.

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

Hi Toby, This certainly is one strange Bird, I found 11138 H also to be strongest for me although my picture is rock solid S 76% Q 52%. I get Al Jazzera Sport on 11041 H 9999 with S 73% Q 38% and picture also very stable. These are the only channels I am getting at present although I seem to be getting all the recent F1 feeds thankfully when they are broadcast.
Hope this is of some help to others.

Strange is an understatement. My signal takes a while to load aswell, and might flickers sometimes until stabilising to about 67% on the greece channel transponders. Where are you finding F1 feeds? I have sky sports F1 anyway but it would be nice to get more f1 feeds. Also, the Al jazeera sports on 3east are scrambled channels are they not?

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

odysseas1991,
i found alj spts chns seem to open sometimes, others not, could be due to low signals also,
would also like to know f1 chn feeds.
seems a bit of hit an miss with this sat, dish size/location, are you getting mega/alter/ant1/ etc

Re: cant pick up 3 deg east

Hi Guys, The Al Jazzera Sport channel on 11041 H 9999 always opens for me no problem I cant get the 12.654 H transponder. Lyngsat shows a feed channel on 11042 H 1000 DVB s2 but nothing scans in for me on this . The FI feeds I had were courtesy of William1 on The Alsat Spiderbox Forum, they are only on when there is a GP on, usually from the Thursday, recent ones were on 11169 H 12600 for Budapest and previous Monaco was on 11128 H 12600. The Biss codes are also posted. Worth doing a Blind Scan when there is an upcoming GP if you are not a member of the Forum.

Possibly it could have the same sharp tuner in that the TM500/600 enigma1 boxes have which is one of the most sensitive tuners on the market.
