FOX MOVIES available in C band now

[doktorofsat]

A couple of hours ago I blindscanned 57E and I found that among the Ethiopian channels started "FOX MOVIES Middle East"

The reception is stable with 150cm PF dish and the "magic plate "

Reception details:

NSS-12 @ 57° East

3662 L 5800 3/4




i THINK EVEN IN ENGLAND the signal is strong enought to get it with a decent dish

hello just a quick one im sorry i dont know nothing about cband so sorry but is all cband anolog? or digital also ive got a 1.5 prime focus what would i need? just a cband lnb? thanks

This shows its digital ---- 3662 L 5800 3/4

According to the NSS-12 footprint map the downlink power on the west beam is about 39dBW in Kent. Theoretically that requires about a 1.8m dish, although a well adjusted 1.5 might get you something as DoS has got a 1.5.

Oh and a C-band lnb and a receiver that will do C-band

You're going to need line of sight though too. 57E is only 12 degrees elevation from here.

can i use my cm 1.8? i just wanna get in to the cband thing never done it before robbo what u reckon? you have seen the pad will i struggle? u know ive got a few houses and bushes in the way i kow where 28.2 is ive got no i idea where 57e is! is there a way i can work it out? thanks guys

 

[Robbo]

You barely had line of sight to badr over the chimney to the left of the decking, let alone a view of 57e. Check dispointer to see which way 57 east is. If my memory of your site serves me correctly you don't have much of a chance, unless it goes on the roof. A plumb bob and string fixed to a protractor will tell you more.

Other than that, I think the 1.8m should be OK for C band, but you'd need a new LNB holder, as C-band LNBs are about 60mm diameter or thereabouts, and the scalar ring quite large.

Near enough 57E is way over to the east a little south of due east and 10 degrees or so above the ideal horizon.

If Robbo is right and you barely clear an obstruction to get 26/28E you can forget it

ok ill have alook evan if i put it over near the pool il do it just for a test see what i can do, where does doktorofsat live looks like his 1.5 done the job maybe i can dig that 1.5 prime focus out get an lnb and scalar ring and see what i can do

 

[Analoguesat]

He is a long way east of us - hes in Romania!

There's some C band on 1W though if you fancied a play, you have LOS to that, not sure what the footprint map tells us though.

Is 57e as low as say, sea meets sky? If it is then I will never get that as I'm in a huge dip I struggle to pick up fm radio! I get fox movies on nilesat but that's going soon to 201 I get it on badr 6 but if the weather is bad that goes so I fort it could be a back up.

On that info Id say you have no chance - its about 10-12 degrees above an ideal horizon (which would basically be looking out to sea). If there are hills in the way its pretty unlikely

 

[jambon550192]

altho fox says its on Nile and badr is fox on another that's in my Los I'm good from 28e to about say 35/40 w

 

[Analoguesat]

Nope

7W & 26E only.

 

[jambon550192]

Wonder why they dont say there on 57e ? Prolly want people to stick to 7w and 26e

Not sure if this information will be useful to you ..but..

I receive signals in C band on my 1.8m prime focus from 58 West ...
which is a similar elevation to your target of 57 East ...
I'm located in near Manchester which is on average : - Approximately 125 metres above sea level

Luckilly I have relatively clear line of sight ....but I have noticed that the longer wavelengths involved in C band reception will penetrate ...to some degree.....a thin low density bush or tree ....
The leaves present less of a problem in C band than KU ..
but a solid object such as a wall or building ....
..no chance ..
Dishpointer is definately your friend in this instance as you can factor in objects which might spoil your line of sight ..
My 1.8m dish is mounted with a pole of 1.9m

Thanks very much I think where I am it's about 6/700m above sea level I've had a look on dish pointer if I put it near my pool on he decking I can squeeze though my house and next door pointing east I may just catch something but no way can I make out the horizon as I'm on a hill and I'm mid way so I can see down hill and up hill with trees, that's tye north downs for you so I'll have a look see thanks guys

quick question sorry if this sounds dump robbo thanks for the map on 1w but just say i wanted a satellite that was out of out horrizon like one from the states how does a satellite cover half the world ie that one of c band on 1 w ive seen a few like these ie this ns12 foot print

Most of the birds covering Yankland are below our western horizon so you can forget them immediately...

 

[jambon550192]

ow yeah i know that if you cant see it then ur not gunna get it but im still confused about the global footprint how does that work surly they are limited to what they can see ie one side of the globe also you say that about the yannks how can a feller in south america pick up 19.2 for half a day i kow he has a 12m dish but still like you and i said how is that evan possable?
