4161 L 4dB no lock
4191 L 6dB lock


with 1,5m Offset dish

Cheers

Thanks for your feedback, pirde21.
Well, I also do get most but ... should probably all hence my questioning...
Is anyone getting 4.161 LH (Ideal TV) & 4.177 L (VePlus Venezuela) & 4.191 L (Pasiones)?
I need to determine the real reason for my problems, is it either tps gotten weaker or do I suffer some undefined interference here.

Yes, getting all those on my 1.8 here in the UK.

Thanks guys, will dig in here to find the bug.

I hope you find a solution, it is always good to read your latest reception reports.
I did for a long time think that 5G was not an issue on the higher part of the C Band but the intermod seems to degrade all signals. I now have a 5G filtered LNB that gives a noticable improvement at the top end but it kills so much from the lower C Band . I have yet to decide which is the lesser of the two evils, wideband hunting in the fog or narrow band clarity! The trees that have long blocked my view on some satellites are now giving me 5G shielding on others.

 

[Satfaca]

That was exactly speculation, it has to do with the 5G although in theory it shouldn't/couldn't.
BTW, what is the anti-5G LNB you've got?

It was the Titanium Satellite C138 Performance Plus - direct from them on ebay.

I can also praise & recommend this same lnbf - for me the usable frequency range when using this C138 lnbf, taking into account there is a 5G cell less than 300 mtrs away from me, is about 3.810 up to 4.2GHz . Previously in use or tested items were expensive external 5G ALGA RED filters , Norsat 5G lnb's - Long story short , the C138 Performance Plus actually gave better Rx performance results at a fraction of the cost .

Hi Halliwell also high to captain Jack,on my 1.5mtr gibby I get ideal 4161L 6.5db,passions 4191L 6.6db,Angel 4177L 10.6db.

It's definitely a 5G thing, I've never thought of that, will need to research why this happens at the end of the RF.
I've always been reluctant to LNBFs, specially in C-band, prefer good old feedhorns with fit-on LNBs. I do understand that these 5G filters/LNBs simply cut off everything below/beyond certain frequency and that is out of question for me, I still receive some russian & nepali signals below 3.625 GHz more or less uninterrupted and everything between 3.810 GHz-4.200 GHz as well. It's just this narrow range above 4.160 GHz that bothers me. Considering 5G towers from three different directions (closest being just 300m away) maybe I should simply be happy to receive something at all...
Maybe a simple inline atenuator would help?!
