Efficiency of Dish

Re: Efficiency of Dish

It cost me about 800 $ without actuators

That's a lot of money, for that price you can (normaly) expect a dish with an optimal focused point for the lnb!
If this point is not optimized you have significant loss of signal strength.

I can get 10 E, 9E, 7E and also 3.1 E full with my Dish, Only problem with Hotbird

The quality of the dish is important too - Gibertini dishes are one of the best.

In the case of satellite dish it is the size and not the quality that's important.

we must say that the mixing of the two is important, mainly if you want to pick up the signal of weaker satellites.

Is not hotbird footprint centered around europe? The signal received in Pakistan will be
marginal maybe only in the north east?

Further to that, a high quality LNB will also boost the ability to weak up the incredibly weaker signals. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter how well the dish picks up and reflects the signal if the LNB is not very sensitive and cannot make the most of it. The gold series technomate LNBs are top of the range. Back to the main topic of this thread, my opinion is that firstly the size of dish affects the efficiency, and then the quality of the surface, although that does not hold as much influence...!

Re: Efficiency of Dish

Just to further the points already made and in particular Odysseas1991 points the size of the dish does make all the difference and the correct lnb that complements it. But also the receiver that you use can more than produce better results than others, with options for more advance channel searches which provide a much bigger scope than other types.

dont disregard a good cable ...

Re: Efficiency of Dish

I have DM800 HD, with Black Inverto Lnb on my Dish, I think there must be much better boxes with more sensitive tuner to catch weakest signal

Re: Efficiency of Dish

its important the quality signal in specal sat. some signals are weak so you need to bigger dish and also for best result size of dish and good quality of lnb and quality and distance cable its important

Re: Efficiency of Dish

Hi rizwan I don't know if this is feasible for you or not but while browsing the
internet I came across a technique called blocking, to receive weak satellite
signals the stronger satellite signals are blocked, we know that a dish needs
line of sight therefore something is placed along the line of sight of the strong
satellite to block the signal therefore giving the weaker signal a chance.
What ever is used to block does not have to be permanent.

I also read about that, but don't know the method to do so

Re: Efficiency of Dish

ofcourse sometimes we have sunoutage during day often afternoon so the signals become cut or weak for 2 or 3 huours special in mideast and part of europa so might this conflicts related to this problem

Re: Efficiency of Dish

Is there any method to analyze the efficiency of my satellite Dish or about its reflecting quality ?

also is interesting to find out the efficiency of a toroidal dish in comparition with a offset one with the same diameter
