Ok thanks.... I'll try and move the dish somewhere else

For the moment I have a I.50M dish pointing at Hotbird 13° and want to pick up Astra 2D for the UK BBC ITV etc. But I cant turn the dish any more to the left because of a wall.... but can lower the elevation. Would it work if i off-centered the LBN head and if so which way... left or right...

Ok lets put it another way as no body is answering my question. The "specs" of my decoder are as above... These are the "specs" of a decoder specially concieved for TNTSAT. Démodulateur DVB-S- QPSK Roll off : 0,35 Symbol rate : 10-30 MS/s FEC : 1/2 2/3 3/4 5/6 7/8 Microprocesseur...

Ok thanks... But i've seen just the card's on sale on eBay.fr

I have an Xtream.... It would be much more practical if I only had to buy the card over the net. Sorry but my technical know how is 0, so I'll put the Specs here// Just like to know if it will work or if I will have to buy the TNT decoder+ card next time I'm in France Thanks Xtreme Hornet...

Ok I'm trying that for the moment.... have about 2000 ch of bulls*** but I can only clear out about 100 in one go... I go over that and it gets all grumpy and crashes 2 hours later.... thanks "Topper" that works... managed to transfer my Favorites again.... Only another 1500 ch to throw out now.

Hi there…. Having a few problems with my Xtreme XTSC-520 Satellite & Terrestrial Receiver Well I “think” it’s this model… Friend gave it to me…nothing on the case except Xsteam (I’m running 2 parabols HOTBIRD 13° and ASTRA 19.2° Had it for about 3 years now no problem… but recently it’s been...

Right, For the moment my dish is pointed at H/B 13° but I cant move it any more to the left because of a wall... So could I just hook up another LNB and use the same dish...Its about 1.30M dia.? If so where should I put the 2nd Astra 2D head (left or right of the H/B head/ and roughly at what...

Living in the fringe Zone (barcelona) Fot the moment I'm on Astra 1 and want to move to Astra 2D to pick up FTA BBC etc. Ok, using my signal meter thing If I swing my dish to the left, will Astra/Eurobird be the next "beep" or are there other Sat's in between.

Ok Tivu thanks for your help... I'll probably be beck asking questions once I 'phyically' try to find 2D

me again.... just read on some site that with a single LBN and a circula parabol (didn't know there were other shapes) thet there was no need to worry about Skew... is this true... Also that barcelona is hot spot for 2D Have just found a unused ( they moved) 1.30cm dish with an ALPS unversal LBN...

Right.... One last question. When using on of those little meter things for finding a Sat. I know it has to be conected between the parabol and the Sat reciever.... BUT does the sat reciver have to be tuned to the Sat in question ie. Astra 2D ? or does it just have to be conected and "on" For...

Thanks Tivu for replying so quickly. Tried sat sig... seems to be a bit comlipcated as I dont have the Latitude, so I went to Dish pointer and got Astra 2D 28.2° Elevation 35.30 ( I suppose this means the angle it should be pointed at the sky) Azimuth 143.7°(.3 magnetic) LBN skew 19° ( this...

Ok thanks for the info....... Tried "satsig" seems comlicated cos I don't have the Latiude.... Just Astra 2D 28.2E. Tried Dishpointer and Got this Longitude: 2.1614° Name: 28.2E Astra 2A, 2B, 2D Distance: 38159km Elevation: 35.3° Azimuth (true): 143.5° LNB Skew -19° Azimuth (magn.)...

Hi there... I'm living in Barcelona and have been using Astra 19.2 and Hot bird 13° which are recently getting pretty usless, as the majority of the chanels are now coded... Just fell on an news item about Astra 2D 28.2°E and see that most of the usual English chanels ie. BBC I 2 3 ITV chanel...
