That's a big ask Fizbi. Even out of my league:D Did catch it on NASA Tv though, they did all the hard work for me:)

Said your interested in the U.S side of the hobby but haven't check out this site in a while (Hi guys:hatsoff:) so thought I might chip in:) Looking at the Lyngsat pages, even less channels down in this neck of the woods. Although if you do speak Mandarin or Cantonesse you'll do ok. Plenty of...

Yeah, I have done so. On C Band that is. and I mean not just setting it up for a single sat. The trick is to get the declination and elevation perfect for true north (south). Spend heaps of time on that but once you do all the sats will be there. Getting your head around the concept first is...

From what you have stated sounds like the north south Axis is out. This is the most difficult thing to get spot on. Yes, to the East would be the go, I think. I have to think backwards:) as I'm on the south side of the equator. I would be reluctant to adjust the declination. Unless your really...

G'day there smijter. Pick up quite a few down here to, about 1000 for me but very little in English wouldn't have any shortfall in progaming if I understood Mandarin or Cantonese:)

Doesn't all sound to bad. US$4.85 a gallon Down under. (A$1.28 a liter):( And if you think that's bad, have a thought for the Europeans, around US$8 a gallon.:eek:

My wife supports it. Happy I have a hobby that I'm passionate about. Although she did ask if I could paint my BUD's green to blend into the vegitation a little.

It's called a Phoenix 333. It's a Korean made box. It was also sold under different labels as well. I think it was Ecostar and Praxis. It will search thru the band in Analog but as Iceberg mentions there no S/R's with analog. And when it comes to digital there can be different S/R's and FEC's...

They are way over sensative try putting meters and meters of cable inline with the things. Well, this is what I have heard about them. Never used one myself. Prefer the taking the telle and box out to the dish. Nothing beats it except for a dedicated spectrum analizer but a litte over the top...

I think that analog signals will go in time. There is only one analog signal I can receive here in this part of the world now. DVB is just so much more efficient with the spectrum. Although I miss the analog days. Not all digital receivers are smart or blind scan some of the basic models you...

Ok there here is a pic of the guts of my CoRotor it had the plate fitted as standard. I thought they were all like that? There should be slots in the waveguide as well to locate it. There is several ways to go on circ polarisation road. You can use a plate with a voltage switchable H and V feed...

Looks a bit sad but if passes the string test (not warped) and you get it for nothing might be a nice project.

Locked a few inclinded orbit sats in my time, mostly Russian but never any low earth orbit or anything racing across the sky. BTW. truckracer, I like you car, good Aussie muscle car but only better:) :up

There are quite a few signals that can be found with a T.V sat receiver and a big dish. Quite often in a scan the receiver will find non DVB signals but they wont load of course. As Iceberg mentioned they are most likley encrypted. These signals are probably data and internet.

Although you might see a frequency/transpnder on Lyngsat for instance stating it is a feed frequency unless it is active or at least a carrier at the time your DVB blind scanner will miss it and sometimes, allthough rare, even miss it when it is active. Had that before, rescaned and up it poped...

Stating your location can help quite a bit. This was brought up on a forum for the Asia Pacific region that I have contributed to. You don't even have to put your city or town but even a region or state can help and can paint a bit of picture without having to give to much away. For instance...

Here is my theory on the subject that I mentioned if another thread. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=891037#post891037 As caddata mentioned a perforated metal dish may perform better than a mesh dispite the fact it may have larger holes than the mesh. Now there would be loss thru...

With an S-Band LNB, use the thing to snoop on 2.4Ghz baby and security monitor cameras.:D By the way do you have 2.4Ghz short range (low power) Tx gear in the U.S.?

Yes it can be quite a blast htownjoe. Caught a few amazing things over the years. I would imagine there would be more satellite traffic in English in your part of the world. A few years ago found a feed from a sat that everyone thought was dead (for years) but the techs in Indonesia gave it run...

Don't think it makes any difference. Just personal prefference. When it comes to shading the dish, percentage wise there is hardly nothing in it.

Here is another site you may want to look at www.vetrun.com/forums An Asia Pacific Sat. forum. We look at different sats. but theory is the same. Don't forget to check out http://www.lyngsat.com/america.html to see what you can receive.

Just a tip jagee. If your just looking to set up on one sat. Not a polar mount setup for many. Just find and set the elevation for your location first. If it's an offset dish, take into account the offset of the dish when doing so. Now provided the pole is plumb and the top of the pole is...

Depends on how far you have to go to get it. Use the minimum amount of disassembly as posible and mark everthing before you do, so the panels go back in the same order. Hard to make out from the pics. but looks well made so less chance of warpage. Good find.

When it comes to Cband a mesh dish is fine. A solid dish will not have any big improvement on Cband. However if you do want to receive Ku off the same dish. A solid dish would be better. Not so much in the fact that it has no holes like mesh but because the surface accuracy of solid dish is...

No worries mate! As we say here.:) I'll see what we can come with. Nice pics there Iceberg. Nothing like the good old holesaw to make a multi LNB setup.:D Looks very green where you are to. Trees are a major battle here. Had to mount my big solid in the front yard to get a good look at the...
