Thread: OETA HD

Is anyone able to receive the OETA channels on 125W? Lyngsat has them as 12112/V/8703 DVB-S2-8PSK. I'm able to get the east/west HD channels with about 40% Q on my AzBox as well as Montana PBS but am unable to lock the OETA mux.

I can lock it on the Sathawk but VERY LOW quality.....like 20
not enough to keep it stable

I think I need a big dish aimed at 125W (like a 4 footer)

That's what I was afraid of. All the more reason to get a motorized 1.2M I guess

I'm getting them at 99Q on my CS8000 and 1M dish. 99Q on CS8000 doesn't mean much , except it's a strong signal. Probably you have a slight dish misalignment. Try tuning the mux with the CS8000, it's much easier than the screwy signal meter on the AZbox. I'm amazed at how much better my 1M dish is , compared with my 90cm dish . All the diff in the world when trying to haul in these 8psk tp's .

and from your loc I'm closer (Minnesota) than you.
Right now I cant lock it but we have a helluva snow storm right now

I'm getting it on AZBox without any problem on 1 m dish, but dish needs quite precision tuning for DVB-S2

We normally have strong winds here, but had snow/rain/ice again for most of today and strong north winds now, so OETA's uplink may be affected too.

Needs to warm up so I can finally move my Dishes to their new home this weekend. 18 degrees and 20mph winds is not my idea of optimal installation conditions.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think the signal is just too weak up here for me to get it on anything less then a 1m. Messing around with the LPB transponder hasn't yielded any results, so I guess I'm hooped for the S2 stuff.

get this mux with my 90cm on a stab 100 motor
at Q71% on the 9000 60% min
now that i can align this step up right. learned right here on satguys.
my buddy radar did a great write up on this.bj has some good pointers too.
good luck
nominated by me as a sticky.
