Good evening,
After spending few long hours on the roof I think this time I managed to get some positive results thanks to my new toy - FS1. Got it two days ago.
I have used the only two active transponders on the Middle East beam to align the 2.4m dish properly. On both frequencies I got 18 dB. Then I started playing with the LNB and got the first signs of life from the Europe Wide beam on the 3B. I was trying to use frequenccies which are unique to Astra 3B, cause Arabsat on 26e melts down the dishes here with it's strength. Please give me an advise as I am planning to buy a Channel Master antenna and since the 2.4m is four times more expensive I want to make sure whether the 1.8 does the job or not.
My concern is the picture with the lock. The FS 1 is not supposed to lock DVB-S2 frequencies and Arabsat has similar tp DVB-S. Is it possible, after getting 18 dB on the ME beam with no lock due to the DVB-S2, and after having 2-4 dB on the others, some of which are not similar to any Arabsat frequency, that I'm getting nothing, but some 26e "remains".
Any help and comments are more than welcome.
