Es'hail 2 25.8°E channels

Between 11310-11430 I have no problems. Neither vertically nor horizontally. Everything is received.

Used to receive 11350H when it had easier fec. Signal was around 5db then

I notice that 11350 H is not used in Flysat or Lyngsat!

Really nice to see that some members here are seeing/locking frequencies not so good previously, guess others may be a little worse off.....as always, depends on dish size, location etc.

Alicante, España......full scan tonight 18.40hrs 1.8m Marrafa PF, Goldmaster SR525 HD.... .cloudless sky, 24.2ºC:-

Someone already lock this channel ?
I suppose that a Bullseye lnb is compulsory

Works here directly with Revez HDS610 + IBU. It's possible to receive with normal LNB if receiver can tune 10492, but unfortunately most have software limitation at least.
Tested few receivers about year ago and also got it working with Edision os mio, VU+Zero4k and VU+Uno4k (but only after editing frequency range in tuner driver)
 
Ok thanks! Maybe I have a chance to lock it with my old Vu+Duo

Vu+Duo it might also be possible but needs modification to dvb-bcm7413.ko (with HxD editor)
 
I found "dvb-bcm7335.ko" in lib/modules/3.9.6/extra .
I installed HxD editor, open "dvb-bcm7335.ko" but I can't find where to change value :confused

You are right, vuduo uses dvb-bcm7335.ko (vuuno has dvb-bcm7413.ko)
But these are very old receivers and I don't have them to test.
Also if you do something wrong and receiver doesn't boot, you need to know how to recover it. -> Do at your own risk

Anyway, what you are looking for (Hex-values) is: F0 7E 0E 00 70 CE 20 00
F0 7E 0E 00 (reversed 0E7EF0) is 950MHz and 70 CE 20 00 (reversed 20CE70) is 2150MHz.
Changing "F0 7E 0E 00" to "60 AE 0A 00" makes it 700MHz. There is no guarantees it works. (Only tested Zero4k and Uno4k, where it does work)

Just tested and it's not working, vu+ duo blocked, need to flash....
All is ok now, ready to try another method if you have one !

Not sure what you mean blocked, you changed only those 3 bytes? HxD has also data comparison to verify. Also same file permissions should be added.

Other methods/options are "new" LNB. Device to change LNB frequency (not sure what it's called and where you can find one). Another receiver.

Added images from Uno4K

Maybe I missed something...
I transfer dvb-bcm7413.ko with DCC into my PC open it with Hxd editor, modify "F0 7E 0E 00" line to "60 AE 0A 00", save and transfer again with DCC .
Then I reboot the Vu+, but it stays on "starting..." again and again without starting. So I have to flash the receiver.
 
I received it with a modified B Band Convertor between a universal LNB and the receiver.

This upconverts the 740-749 MHz to fit in the 950-2150 MHz which every receiver can receive.
These are the settings with this converter used:

There are also specific LNB's for sale with a LOF of 9 GHz which converts 10.0-10.7 GHz to 1000-1700 MHz.

If you can receive the A71A DATV beacon at 10491.5 GHz and your receiver can go below SR 1000 you could try to receive the (temporary) transmissions of HAM radio amateurs. If they are transmitting you can see that on the Qatar-OSCAR 100 Wideband Spectrum Monitor.

Just try it with Bullseye lnb but still doesn't have these frequencies.

One line is missing in my tuner parameters:1000033954.png

You just use the Bullseye LNB without a convertor?

Is your receiver capable of receiving below 900 MHz?
 
Yes, I use Bullseye lnb without convertor and I change settings like yours but I definitely think that my old Vu+ Duo is not capable to scan these low frequencies (Tuner is BCM733) unless modification on tuner driver.
I give up for these frequencies, but keep hope to get others Bein frequencies on Es'hail 2 later :)
 
I'm quite sure your tuner has an input frequency of 950-2150 MHz, while the output on the LNB.side from 10,490 GHz is 740 MHz.
My tuner settings are when you also use an BBC upconverter like in the picture.
Without it you just select universal LNB, but again you can't tune into 10,490-10,499 GHz.
