are you getting 26E ok mate?

Do you think my 1.8 would get 26E? Because I would need to dog the ground back out (concrete) and put a much higher pole in and try clear the wall/trees as i cant cut the tree, its council property

I get everything on 26 East badr 6,with signal from 58%- 82% no picture break up,i think you
would get Badr 6 with a 1.8m you are further east than me.

 

[garyg]

cheers mate.

I will have to try and raise the poll higher and clear my wall as i really want to recieve ad sports, although it may be on 7w? I got showtime fine last year?

 

[JOHN896]

Have a go.!!

 

[garyg]

the problem is to extend the pole i need someone who can come weld more on but my friends cant weld to this metal and people dont do mobile welding anymore due to health and safety so not sure how to raise it

A bigger diameter tube slid over the original? You would have to find the perfect fit though.
Just a idea.

[garyg]

i am confused here on the link you give it display 2 footprint?

One KU Band and one C Band? What is my channel master?

 

[trigger]

KU band...........

 

[garyg]

typical, the one with the harder footprint, what exactly is kuband and c band? And how do you get C band? Sorry to sound dumb, its new to me!

 

[Huevos]

What is my channel master?

It depends what LNB you have attached to it. Most likely KU.

 

[Huevos]

how do you get C band? Sorry to sound dumb, its new to me!

C-band typically needs a dish 2.5 times the size to receive the same signal level as the wavelength is 2.5 times longer... and you need a C-band LNB.

 

[garyg]

ah so where as the C band footprint covers the UK, i would need a HUGE dish to recieve it?

 

[trigger]

Just wait, it wont be C Band and will be on a bird at 7w (but don't know which one yet)

 

[garyg]
