    Astra 2F: Iberia & Balearics Discussion

    Yes, but it isn`t , is it. Of course it`s easy when the plugin is installed but how do you install ? there`s no software to download and from what i`ve seen it`s a script. Where does that script go ? Each linux deco functions differently, i have reelbox - plugins already in the distro , just...

    Total and utter rubbish . Not talking source code here - dead wrong on this. Might be simple to you but not to me .........

    Astra 2F: Iberia & Balearics Discussion

    I have looked into it and it`s rocket science - absolutely no idea what there on about. Way, way too complex. the talk about a VU box, what about other users who have other boxes that don`t have enigma 2 ? we can`t use this plugin or can we . This is more , much more for the very , very...

    Channel Master 1.8m with new Feedhorn WORSE!

    If Phoenixx is saying that the whole dish and lnb must be at the same deg i.e. start with both your dish and lnb at 0 deg , then rotate to 19 or 28 deg whatever to get full signal ; Wouldn`t that effect be gained by a normal prime focus where both dish and lnb are in line , focused on the...

    Channel Master 1.8m with new Feedhorn WORSE!

    What you are actually saying is that the whole set-up has to be orientated 19.2 deg and of course keeping the lnb at 0 deg just like a motorized dish. The tricky part is how to apply this method to a fixed dish ? We might be able to squeeze the 2f at 28.2 deg even more. Your youtube videos...

    I would have preferred more input but since information is thin on the ground as to reception in and around the Granada area ( with the exception of rasd ) ; i am quietly confident that 2e is not going to be too different than 2f for me . Lets see shall we .

    Yes, but as i said they are practically identical and if you can receive 2f , you should be able to lock 2e. This is the reason and it is a practical one as to finding someone / somewhere in my area with access to a 1.8 m dish - any make will do, i just want to see the readings of the sat...

    Receivers can vary greatly in sensitivity and selectability, a good one is also fundamental in focusing on weak signals. Your Lnb is the best in the situation we find ourselves in because it is good in the lower range of frequencies which is where the PSB channels are on. That lnb is also very...

    Hi rasd, Dissappointing to say the least - damn.........would you/ could you get access to a 180 cm dish and try that ? I am reasonably optimistic that you could pull in the 2f on those dishes. Very , very fine tuning required.

    Considering the options , although not buying a great on offer dish is difficult .

    I am undecided on the Prodlein 180 offset in fiberglass ( same specs as the ch for around 40 % less in euros ) ; or the fte 180 offset which is not fiberglass but still a damn good dish - weighs 30 kg less too ! However, would that Prodlein pull in 2f in Granada ?

    That article clears up some points and others not. Politics - we are all in politics , we just don't know it......

    Of course the logo wouldn't make one bit of difference to the signal - common sense ! Those are some nice photos of your setup and a very quick way of setting the dish up. I found some of the info on the Famavals in this link - might explain some things , certainly alittle more clearer to me...
