118.7°W Anik F3 with 1.2m
ADVERTS 1
Is there anyone solidly receiving the affiliate stations on 118.7W with a 1.2m dish? I've tweaked up everything here and still have some minor pixelation.

In this thread: Circular to linear and all that jazz... we modified a linear LNB to pickup this satellite, but in the end there were only two FTA channels

Thanks for the reply, but I'm referring to the C-band signals provided by KQCK/KQDK. These channels barely lock in this morning. Another 4-5% increase in SQ should make things stable on the CS5000 using a 1.2 meter dish. Originally Posted by qwert1515

46Q on my 1.2m
Maybe that extra EIRP bump helps
