It is possible to use two V-Boxes with one remote, I do here. One is a SuperJack V-Box II, the other an Alsat Gbox but they're pretty much the same inside and use an identical remote. I have one sitting on top of the other but by pointing the remote towards them and tilted up it's very easy to...

I've just scanned it here in the UK (strong on my 1.8m) and as mc6809e says the parameters that Lyngsat give show it as CVC en ESPANOL.

If you're sourcing from Europe satellitesuperstore is known for being expensive on like for like products so do shop around. Two brands to look for are Gibertini and Triax, both sell a 1M dish that have similar spec although the elevation control on the Triax can be a real pain to fine tune. My...

Just a brief update on this project, there are now versions of Jaero and Planeplotter that display planes on maps. Jaero does the hard work and can output data to either Virtual Radio Server or Planeplotter. I've been experimenting with SDR Sharp and can now decode both channels on each...

Jonti is probably the only source of hard information at the moment with some observations from the handful of us decoding these signals. I was only made aware of it by a John Locker who helps develop Planeplotter software. This system has been put in place since MH370 highlighted the poor...

Interesting link Brian, I'm currently parked on either 15W or 65E using a C1W and Jaero to decode C Band Aero 10k5 bursts and have been getting very good results with the stock LNB but anything that can improve the noise threshold is an interesting development. I'll feed the link back to Jonti...

You won't, domestic BBC channels are only available on two satellites, which, funnily enough, have footprints over the UK. Some domestic BBC programming is available via BFBS and is encrypted ....but I'm not aware of any package that will open them (mods please delete that comment if it's not...

Then you need to look for another solution, BBC Nationals are tightly spotted on the UK and there is no chance of getting them in Iran.

The footprint may cover your location but you also need to check what is actually on it. Not a lot by the look of things. http://www.flysat.com/astra2e.php

Use something like satbeams.com to check the footprints of the satellites you want to receive as well. You mentioned Astra 28E in an early post but apart from the ME beam on 2E you'll need something a lot (A LOT!!) bigger than a WF to receive anything useful.

I had a look for 70W but can't see anything coming out of the noise, guess that footprint doesn't have so much spread this way. I went right down to 75W but apart from seeing the ground noise come up there's no evidence of signals further west than these weak ones on 67W. When things warm up a...

Thanks for doing that, they're definitely the same peaks so at least we know I'm on the right satellite, it'll serve as a useful marker even if there's no hope of locking anything. Now if only there was someone in South America actively 'DXing' on satellite.

There's very little out to the west and I have to get to 30W to find one transmitting above 10.7GHz so I doubt it's a sidelobe but I hadn't thought of direct pickup off the back side although with a few exceptions we don't tend use your FSS band over here so it shouldn't take long to check...

Unfortunately nothing that far west has European beams, 61 and 63W both have strong data transponders into Eu but what I'm seeing here on 67W aren't much more than bumps in the noise and don't produce any form of SNR or even show a constellation. As you can see there's no sign on 12162V so I...

I wonder if someone with a clear shot at this bird and who has the use of Crazyscan can check this for me please. Pretty sure I'm on 67°W but there's no decent source of full transponder info this far west AFAIK. The most comprehensive site, Flysat which lists all the data and higher order...

We're spoilt for choice in Europe as there's also http://en.kingofsat.net/radio-4.8E.php but that hasn't had an update so far. I find Flysat more useful for 'DX'ing as it lists all the data transponders, they're often stronger than TV which makes finding weak satellites easier. It's just a shame...

Flysat are showing it on air, maybe contact the webmaster to see if AhmedIraqi will contact you? http://www.flysat.com/astra4a.php

That GUI looks very similar to my Skybox F3, in fact the STB is very similar in size and layout so presume they all come out of the same factory. Following pressure from Sky TV they were rebranded to Openbox and I understand they're now called Libertview. I've had mine a couple of years, in fact...

These used to available in Europe on 22W, two cams looking either way from the pier and one at the end looking out to sea. They were always on a daytime loop as I never saw any darkness and there were no timestamps, they all disappeared about a year ago. Was never quite sure why they were on the...

The wideband version went on sale today from Titanium so have ordered one for my 1.8m, currently using an ESX241 so really looking forward to comparing them. Delivery time depends on the USPS First-Class Package International.
