There is possibly something odd with those filtering Tit's. I stuck the WiMax one I got 'ere on a Promax and did a wide span scan on 38.0 East.
There was a reet hefty slope on the Promax spectrum that is not present with Ku-Band signals. I am not sure yet if it is an artefact from the Tit

I need to repeat the wide span scan using some of them C-Band Astrotel's I bought from USA to see if the same slope is present on them.

i ordered a new cheapie LNB from Aliexpress, and its performing better than my titanium - getting around 9db now on ESPN.
sometimes 9.2
its also DUAL output, AND its not a 5G filtering one, and im NOT getting interference, odd, but great!
its 3.4-4.2 ghz range too - and not 3.7-4.2 - very happy
Hola, thanks for your post.
Have a Titanium twin but never been happy with the results compared to my single output WS International ESX241 (many members here have one) but was unable to secure a twin before, they say, 2016 when the company applied for insolvency. The ESX241 still gives me good results, a very stable ESPN on this sat as an example
I cannot find the exact model 'Eurostar' you have but have located others similar, basically at some €35 inc. delivery to España and quoting November for delivery.
As you seem pleased with your results I would like to follow your steps to secure the 'Eurostar' twin output model. ¿Is it possible you could advise the exact details for me to purchase?...........if a conflict with forum rules and sponsors exists then I will understand.

Good to read no interference from 5G.........appreciated and best wishes.

Very nice install :Y, good to see your using a separate feed arm attachment to the lnbf body and not to the scalar plate direct - ideal for obtaining max feed performance

7th Oct, 22. - Iv'e set up the dish [2.2] & tweeked for ESPN this morning, North Nottinghamshire, with the intent of doing monitoring throughout the day. Using the Promax & EBSPro for measurements
Keep in mind that other factors ie: uplink conditions etc will play a part in my downlink captured measurements

Ist measurement @ 8.30am. Fluctuating signals / in & out of lock / clear sky / Promax-7.8dB-8.1dB. / EBSPro-8dB

thanks @John & @scopus
currently locking:
ESPN at 7.8 - 8.2db - just about holding solid signal.
FS1-3 at 9.5 - 10.2db - breaking up (i think interference, will swap LNB at lunch for 5G filtering)

If you are always so short, only a larger bowl will help, everything else is just a waste of time :)
