Newbie Here available cband sats uk

[WHATAGOAL1]

need a sat with cband to test my new dish, its a 1.8 channelmaster can only see 1 west to 13 east without moving, is there a c band within this view, if there isn't what is the easiest to get for the inexperienced?

Not much in C-band in Europe these days -


5W or 20E are probably the easiest ones to get near that area, although 5E & 3E are within your arc

You could of course try an offset lnb with a 1.8m dish.

Hi, take a look at this link, look at Chris1979 posts, he is in the uk using a 1.2 dish so you shoud be able to get what he gets and more.

In that arc try 4.9E
3691 L
Rave TV
DVB-S2
MPEG-2 1300-5/6
QPSK

Just scanned 10E-1W in Dream and that's giving the highest SQ reading. It's 11.5dB SNR on my 1.8.

No Signal on RAVE_TV atm for me - first time its not been received had it locked quite well, maybe just the time of day??

Very interested in the Special dilectric Plate mentioned on the forum here, any chance of getting one from you Pride?

This is of course a bigger arc than you but you should find some success with your bigger dish
