Well, it in my list, so the tuner DID find it in the past. Oval dish with 6 LNBs; 13E is centre. I get DVB-S2 QPSK on most LNBs, but on Hotbird I get no signal or just a flash at 34%. I DO get BBC-Persian on 12322 DVB-S. What is wrong? I have not been up on to the roof yet this year, Just one...

Well, NEXT problem: There used to be TVE Internacional FTA or 24h TVE FTA on several satellites. NOW I cannot find any on ASTRA 1KR/L/M/N or Hotbird 13B/C/E or ASTRA 2E/F/G or Hispasat 30W or Eutelsat 9b/10a or they don't work! Any solution? Thank you.

Less than 16! C.

Thank you. Interesting. I have similar set-up: TRIAX 110 30W; elliptical 90x60 with 28E, 23E, 19E, 13E, 10/9E. I am in footprint of 10/9E, but I cannot get ALL stations. THAT is the discussion.

Less than 16° C.

Day 14°, night 11°.

I covered the LNB with a folded white plastic bag and the 5 other LNBs with a white paper bag - for the moment. Let's see if there is any change in signal strength. Black LNB was surprisingly cold today..... (Wind N, straight from North Sea.)

Hmmmm...... I am sorry, but I disagree: it is cold and it remains cold, after all, it is "summer" ! NOT more than 3 degrees difference day/night. If temperature, then does a graph of relation temp/signal strength exist? I cannot find one. Has the D-layer an effect on signal strength ...

My first message in this thread refers to the photo with Hispasat TRIAX. This is another, oval dish 90x65 aimed primarily at Hotbird 13E, but with 6 LNBs. Yes, I tried another LNB, Diseqc box, short cable, long cable to the TV: all were exchanged. Last night I monitored signals from 5 pm to 5 am...

I have been monitoring signal strengths (=quality) on 10A with 9B. I have a (Turkish) tuner only. Signals on ALL 16 stations that I noted were weaker at 17.30 CEST and increased every hour until even 03.10 (or later). Weather is cold (17 -12° night), dry. Can anyone tell me why? See previous...

Thank you, A33. Good presentation. I did similar calculations earlier: That 1h 9.6m the satellite is in the umbra, more hours in the penumbra (Latin for half-shadow). With the Earth's tilt of 23.5° that umbral cone will indeed be below the satellites on 21 June. They will still be in the...

Did you ever see or record a graph of signal strength during a day+night? Not of BBC1 of course as that always is 99%. Did your LNB cover help?

Several points here: Even the Moon at 400,000 kms (0.5°) takes 1.5 HOURS to traverse Earth's shadow at total lunar eclipse, it is that big. Of course it is irrelevant that Earth's equator is in shadow, but the satellite is over the equator and - for ease of calculation - the moments of sunrise...

I monitored the strength ("Quality") of various tx: stronger ones and weaker ones. I noticed that Zagros, 4E, ORTB, RTS, AFN bars were weak or NOT giving an image before 6 pm local. Getting stronger later, even giving a good image at 7.30 local. Signals getting stronger towards midnight. MY...

On "weatherforecast for aviation" it says sunrise 03.04 UTC, sunset 20.18 UTC. Longest day, so that indeed makes 17 1/4 hours of sunshine on the LNB. (OK, not 19 hours).
