Astra 2F at 28E (at last!)

[Torrevieja]

Guess that explains why I can't get a lock on the meter then. D'oh!

No just put dish up yesterday as a test

It's very unlikely a 1.1m dish is going to work properly (and certainly not a 1.0m). Headroom on band D transponders using a 1.1m dish is currently around 3dB (some better, some worse), and less than 2dB on a 1m dish. When 11023H switched to 2F signal dropped 3.5dB, which would take it below reception threshold on at least some transponders. 11023H is a band C transponder and already had nearly 2dB headroom more than a typical band D transponder.

 

[BlindFaith]

nope, I don't think so. Save your time and look for a different box ;) I've checked the manual _http://l.b5z.net/i/u/6105021/f/setsat_user_manual.pdf
Only DVB-S mentioned..

Can I buy an equivalent for my notebook to a tbs card. Some kind of dongle??

Yes. A TBS 5925. About 250 US$.

Unable to check a picture yesterday. All I could report was the levels. Not able to check BER correctly until today.
Far too many errors for a picture.
Sorry if I misled anyone but I never said I had a picture.

no man dont worry they are drowning out there and they thought you had a lifebelt

 

[TENERIFEFORUMTV]

Even though they deny having any O-zzz

ah you want SKYS oversea subscription dept ..here is their welcome video

oh so ´d´ band is going to be worse then BBC HD test on ´c´ band - blimy

Why is that? There is no proof that D band will be weaker than C band.

Right now on 1.1m dish band D transponder have SNR 10-11dB, whereas band are in the 12-13dB region.

Anyone can check this by, for example, comparing BBC2 England (10773H) with 4Seven (11127V).

Hi,

25 km north-west from Prague, Czech Rep., 180 cm offset dish.
I *do* have 11023 H reception around the clock, but I don't have any exact dB measurements to share yet.

How about 10818V and other band D vertical transponders? they are much stronger than 11127V (band C)

 

[timo_w2s]

In the UK 1N's C band is about 8% stronger than the D band on my receiver but who knows what will happen when they transfer to 2F.

It looks like sidelobe - southwest Poland, north Czech Rep.

On my receiver display I get 72% SNR on 10818V, and 83% on 11127V.

In my area, D band is way stronger than C band. Only 11127V runs for most of the day, whereas most of ex 2D transponders show nearly around the clock or better.

10818 SNR 48% Q 30%
11127 SNR 42% Q 20%

Picture starts cracking up when Q shows below 9 - 10 %

 

[molhopicante]

Southeast Portugal, near Spanish border (Badajoz), no signal.

1,80m dish.

With Satfinder option in one DM800se, i see 10% signal but can't look transponder.

 

[William Kay]

Unable to coax any sign of a signal out of 11023H on my Humax Foxsat. Have tried tiny dish adjustments but nothing above 0%...​

 

[dxn]

Are you sure you are using the right parameters? Here 2F is only 3.5dB down on the neighbouring transponders.

Yes, I'm sure. I have no signal at all on 11023h 23000 2/3 DVBS2 8PSK. 0db
All frequencys on 1N I have signal around 16dbs, very strong. When 11023h was on 1N I had same value. Now nothing.

Where are you located?

 

[Ask]

Kingofsat show Astra 2F at 28.2E, and at the same time "Real time satellite tracking" show Astra 2F at 26.59E UTC 14:57.

The right position/degree at the moment?
