Astra 4A 4.8E

[Andris Kalnins]

When i point my 60cm dish at astra 4a I can get just European Beam, I know to get a Nordic beam I need at least 85cm dish. I like to know for noric beam i need to point my dish at the same position as the european one ?

 

[Analoguesat]

Yes the beams are from the same satellite

Your IP resolves to the Birmingham area so you will probably need something a bit bigger than 85cm to get the Nordic stuff.

 

[Andris Kalnins]

Yes correct, Thank you.

 

[Andris Kalnins]

OK. Can someone help me just buy a 1.2 fixed dish and cant get nordic beam. any advice please.

 

[Lazarus]

Who fixed it?

What LNB are you using?

Get the dish aligned for 4.8E, with a Euro beam, then look for a Nordic beam and re-adjust for that. Don't forget the skew, it can make quite a difference. Should work fine on a good 1.2, eg Gibertini.


There's a big difference between the Euro and Nordic beams, the Euro beam can be received on a dish less that half that size, and it is not critical to align precisely to at all.

Nordic beam isn't an issue on my Penta 85 dish in Wolverhampton

You could try a black ultra lnb 90cm in your area get Nordic beam mate

That picture looks more like West Bromwich, i recognise the gas storage tank

Could be Perry Barr from the opposite direction

Thats a Triax TD88 in the photo i would say at a guess. Eitherway you should get the Baltic channels off it :-righton

[Robbo]

Definitely not a TD88, a Technomate dish I think, they perform OK.

 

[A nonymous]

You could well be right, the slider isn't there is it

The annoying thing that allows the dish to move everytime you try to tighten the fe**ing thing up over and over again 'O'-red

 

[Robbo]

I dont want to type 10 characters

Yup.

Nooo. Its Erdington you can see Star City on picture.

The dish is Technomate it has logo from face of the dish.

LNB is TM-1 the same as inverto black ultra just now check it on internet

Now can see that can get 1 nordic beam transponder but no signal from anothers
