21.5E (Eutelsat 21B)

[zorbua]

yes indeed.. According to crazyscan the mux is signalled as ACM/MIS (only a one input stream active). If you check the mux with TSReader the mux rate is 28,5Mbps whereas a carrier with 45000MS, 8PSK, 2/3 yields 54Mbps. No problem with TBS5/6925 but how is that possible with a DB8000?

So further to this enigma...In my dreambox 8000 I have four Tuners....2 on board and two plug ins.... With the plug-ins I have an ALPS REV M and the other is a BCM4505 (just like the one I have in my in a DB 800se). Now with the ALPS Rec M I have a 1.2 Dish connected and with that configuration I can get these MBC channels whilst with the BCM 4505 and a 1.5M Dish configuration I CANNOT (always with DB 8000. ) Now with my other Dreambox DB 800se incorporating a BCM 4505 Tuner and a 1.2 Dish I again am drawing a zero on these channels. Both 1.2 Dishes and the 1.5 m are of a Gibertini make and all of them have a Black Ultra LNB.
Now also I happen to know that MBrincat Tuner is an ALPS Rev M in a DB 800 HD.
So the Tuner is the common denominator .

This ALPS REV M tuner works indeed!

Have another baffling thing here at 12.5W. There is another stream of Italian channels...Freq 12718 V Fec 36510 5/6 (8PSK).
When I go on them...at first instant the picture comes in but then freezes, and remains like that.

I reported this a while ago, I am unable to find the thread where I mentioned it at the moment.

Yes, it's because of multi-stream stuff. I could also view those channels like that on my old clone DM800 with rev M tuner but NOT my Uno... tuner seems to be the important bit.

Well don't know Jack....Now that the signal increased a little bit more the channels have disappeared at least on mine.....MBrincat says they are ok on his DB 800HD Original......

This channel just locking for me ,very borderline:-

Payam TV 11558V 1650

 

[zorbua]

Yes it quite strong down here.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Yes it quite strong down here.

Just watching that myself Zorbua, very borderline here,the clouds are rolling in.

 

[Captain Jack]

Fairly strong on the Fibo

54 new Arabic channels!:


10794H 27500 3/4 (EDIT - typo corrected on this freq)
10856V 27500 3/4
10919V 27500 3/4

The vast majority of these channels are new to me.

 

[Lazarus]

10794 H 27500 also new: Just pulled in 17 FTA services on that.

Blind Scanning and already got 59 FTA services only a quarter of the way through!

Thanks for the heads up - another new chapter in the history of this interesting position

 

[Lazarus]

Now at 64 FTA TV and 60% scanned.

Busy!



Edit: 64 is where it finished.

 

[Lazarus]

Sadly, 10731 has an SR of 45000 whcih the F3 can't cope with - Pity, as all the MBCs and more are on there.

 

[Analoguesat]

Tut - typo on that first freq - its 10794! Now corrected to avoid confusion

10731 is set up as a multistream so most rx's wont touch it.

 

[Lazarus]

Blind Scan missed a few (as usual) but I've now got a total of 69 FTA TV.

 

[Analoguesat]

Theres a Libyan court feed on 11517V 2300 auto

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Brilliant As , youre on fire!!!

Now at 64 FTA TV and 60% scanned.

Busy!



Edit: 64 is where it finished.

Ive just blind scanned and got 67, but 2 or 3 of those are almost certainly feeds.

Ive just blind scanned and got 67, but 2 or 3 of those are almost certainly feeds.

Just returned home after allowing my TM 5402 M1 to blind scan 21.5 east and found it had scanned in a staggering 295 channels of which 103 are supposedly FTA.

Some, of course, will be feeds or perhaps strong transponders coming from adjacent satellites, haven't had time yet to check.

As for the 11,558 transponder, I'm getting a very healthy 71% this morning, under light clouds. The blind failed to find the solitary channel on there and so I had to scan it in manually.
