    Arabsat BADR-8

    I'm quite surprised to lock quite a few of the Badr-8 BSS MENA transponders on my Gibertini 1.2m dish, 40km NW of central London. Weakest signal that I can lock on my SF8008 is 11747V at 4.0db with some BER but only a little breakup. It is actually not raining for the first time in a while...

    Help Required LPCM audio on Enigma2

    Does anyone know of a way to use LPCM audio on an Enigma2 box (e.g. SF8008/OpenATV)? Just comes though as silence for me, both to a TV via HDMI and streaming to VLC - but that may be all there is on the LPCM stream. Quite a few feeds eem to have 3 MPEG audio streans and one LPCM.

    Eutelsat 10B

    Zap Viva comes in on its new frequency (12735V4000, multistream 171) at 12.8db on my Gibertini 1.25 - 35km NW of central London. ORTC comes in at 12.0db.

    Advice Needed Diseqc 1.1 switch insertion loss

    Just WF100. I had WH167 on a previous incarnation but haven't noticed too much difference with the WF100.

    Advice Needed Diseqc 1.1 switch insertion loss

    @ozumo Thanks, I'll give it a go then. The T55 is really helping clear out my box of old LNBs! (For anyone reading the first post, the 3rd T55 LNB is on 5w not 5e. 5e on such a small dish would be really magic.)

    Advice Needed Diseqc 1.1 switch insertion loss

    I think my question is on the relationship of insertion loss db and SNR db (if any!). One of my setups is currently a ~30 metre cable run to a Diseqc 1.0 4 port switch which has a USALS Diseqc 1.2 motor on port A and a further ~8 meters run to 3 LNBS on a toroidal Wave Frontier T55 using switch...

    Fransat CI+ and a viewing card - which ones from Amazon.fr

    The breakup problem was fixed through some Enigma2 settings, - CI Operation Mode = CI Plus 1.2 and - High Bitrate Support = Yes No sign of life on the Fransat authorisations :(

    Fransat CI+ and a viewing card - which ones from Amazon.fr

    This thread prompted me to checkout my Fransat cards. I currently have 2 Fransat PC6 cards: 1. Pre 4-year life restriction - the rolling Fransat authorisation had expired in March, doesn't seem to want to come back to life in Oscam or in a Neotion/Fransat CAM in an OpenATV VU+ Zero 4K (my...

    Wanted V-Bolt, internal spacing 3"/76mm

    It is a bit of a minefield! V Bolt - extra long 3" V bolt STAINLESS (M8) - A.T.V. Poles, Brackets, Clamps & Aerials seems to be "inner diameter" of 3" or 80mm. It might work if cut of the excess :)

    Wanted V-Bolt, internal spacing 3"/76mm

    Thanks all I've taken a punt on one of the Ebay 3/8" V bolts. I may need to file out the holes on the clamp and the shackle a little. Here's a pic of the original part:

    Wanted V-Bolt, internal spacing 3"/76mm

    Looking for a V-bolt to fix a Stab HH120 motor to a pole. I have one but the other is missing. Internal width between the legs is 3" or 76mm, straight section of leg is about 80mm. Bolt is M8. I have a square U-bolt which would do but think the V-bolt would be better/stronger and less likely...
