Help on how to track mbc frequencies

[newtonn]

Hello friends, am facing a big problem, trying to tracking MBC frequencies with 180cm (1.8m) dish, with ku-band LNB installed on it.
the frequency am trying to track was 7.0°W Nilesat 11938.00 polarity: Vertical, symbol rate: 27500 and 7.0°W Nilesat 11766 H 27500.
have done all what i no but i couldn't get through plz GURUS help me out.
thks abu

What brand (type) of Ku band LNB and receiver are you using?

As the LO frequency's need to be set right or you wont get a thing.

 

[newtonn]

am using a prime focus dish and strong LNB type ku-band

I think that probably 11766H would be harder to pick up than 11938V, for a start there is less error correction.

Can you receive any other transponders from Nilesat 101 or Nilesat 102?

Exactly what dish are you using, eg is solid? petalised? Mesh?


Post a picture of the dish if you can, always helpful.;)

Well there are several types of Ku band LNB's, this satellite needs a linear Ku band LNB, there are 2 types for this band, one is the "Universal" it has two different LO frequency's, 1 is 9.750 GHz for the low Ku band and 10.600 GHz for the hi Ku band.

The other is a standard linear Ku band LNB it has 1 LO frequency at 10.750 GHz.

If this setting is wrong you wont get any channels.

So to tell you what is wrong I need to know exactly what type/brand of LNB your are useing, a "strong LNB" wont help me tell you what is wrong.

am using strong 4669x which only have 7.0°W Nilesat only on it.
is there a way fofr me to create frequency?

ok from what you said now, i can get some facts from it. but from your own experiences what type of ku-band LNB do i need to track MBC satellite.....

Well that is the receiver, but what about the LNB? (out on the end of the dish)

Standard linear or Universal will work if the settings are right.

But if you have the LNB installed already then we need to know what brand it is to see if your settings for it are right.

Generally you should be using an Universal LNB for that satellite.

Neither of those LNBs are designed for use on a prime focus dish.

The dish and the LNBs are not compatible.

ok thanks, but what type of LNB of LNBF should i use.

I don't know, but the pictures of LNBs that you posted are for offset dishes. You need to get the correct feed for your dish and that probably uses a C120 flange LNB.

@huevos, am still waiting for ur reply..............

can you kindly post the images of the c120 flange LNB you mention.
