Bad signal strenght on the west

[mikelo]

I have motorized system with DiSEqC motor. I have good signal from satellites on the east and not good signal on the west (Hispasat 30w). How can i get better signal on the west?

Is the pole that the dish is mounted on perfectly straight?

Re: Bad signal strenght on the west

Yes, the pole is perfectly straight, i checked it. I have LNB 0.2 dB, if i change LNB, could i get better signal then? Signal on Hispasat is now 7.2 dB.

I don't think changing the LNB will make any difference.

What satellite did you use as your reference sat when installing? And is it the one that is closest to your position (eg, I'm at 1e, closest sat to me is 1w)?

Re: Bad signal strenght on the west

or maybe the hispassat can't be received in your area
check the satellites map to see if the satellite is broadcasting in your country

For Europe

For America

First of all do this check: set the dish on hispasat then try to push up and down gently the dish checking the signal, if it increase your dish is bad mounted, if the signal goes more down try to push the dish on left and right ever checking the signal quality, if it increase your stored position needs to be correct. I don't know where you live, anyway check the satellite footprint like Anacondama has posted to know if you're into an area to receive it.
The problem is not the LNB if you've good signal on other satellites, so don't change it is not there the problem.

@tonybod

I used Astra 19.2°E as my reference. It's closest to my position. My place Longitude is 20.7000°E. There is not satellite which is closer.


@anacondama

On your map for Europe my location is between lines 48 and 50. Maybe it's normal that I have such signal.

Best regards.

yes probably this is the reason why you can't have good west satellite broadcasting ... try a bigger dish
good luck

How much big is your dish? Did you've made test like I've suggested? Results?

Re: Bad signal strenght on the west

You can try to set it manualy and see will you get any more signal but 7,2 is very good, I with SS2 have picture 2db and when is 7,2db it must be hevy rain to lose signal. So I dont think you will get more signal with regular dish, if you have dish about 120cm then you shuld have more signal but with 80-90cm this is OK.

Re: Bad signal strenght on the west

@zoran89, @satman72

I have dish 125cm and try to push up and down it as @satman72 described. Signal of 7.2dB is best result I can get.

Best regards.

Re: Bad signal strenght on the west

I tested now on couple of transponders with my 80cm dish and I have 9.7db signal, my dish is noname cheapest one and 5-6 years old so you shuld have lot more signal then me.

And you are not far away since I live maybe 30km from Serbia, so results shuld be more or less same.

Well and did signal increased when you've done this test? Or 7,2 db you have without push on dish? If you've reach the max signal pushing the dish this means it is not well pointed.
