    Use C Band dish for Atlantic Ku band birds

    I should like to experiment Using the C Band dish for Atlantic Ku band birds. Does anyone have any experience of this. I have a Ku band LNBF for a prime focus dish but it is only a standard. Do any universal LNBF's exist for prime focus C band dishes. Anyone have good experiences Many thanks...

    Polarity Question

    This was on a 6 foot offset Ku band fixed dish with a LNBF, not on the C band monster, therefore no feedhornThanksTony

    Polarity Question

    Yes we are able to lock other transponders on this satellite. The reson I was asking was that his reception of a marginal signal seemed better than mine. Ie he had no pixellation of one transmission whilst I had some. He was using Vert polarity whilst I was using horizontal. I shall have to try...

    Polarity Question

    I was trying to receive a signal from Amazonas 61 which is labled in the satellite info eg Lyngsat as being horizontal. A local friend says he gets the signal as vertical. Does this mean that his LNBF is postioned at a skew 90 degree difference from mine. I guess I should know the answer to...

    Puzzled by Coolsat 6000 Blindscan

    Ice you were right. The end freq was 12200 hence nothing scanned !! I hadnt realised you could manually change the start and end freq. I learn something new every day !! Many thanks Tony

    Puzzled by Coolsat 6000 Blindscan

    I was trying to locate echostar 3 at 61.5 west. I knew I must be close because I found Amazonas at 61 with a universal LNB. I swapped LNB for a DBS circular and changed the dish setting menu to reflect the LO frequency of 11.250. I then tried to Blind scan the bird. The scan was over in less...

    Tv in the U.K and we thought we had it rough!

    I totally agree. Its a bargain compared with what seems to be available on the cable and satellite systems of the US. But then I would say that wouldnt I. I am British and proud of it. Tony

    I am a bit confused about skew

    Currently I have a Ku dish with an Ku LNBF and have to adjust the azimuth and elevation and skew for each new satellite that I want to watch. This of course is a bit of nuisance. If I were to convert the mount to a polar mount with an actuator how would I then change the skew when moving...

    Am I ? on Amazonas 1/2

    OK guys I am now convinced. I have found Telepacifico and Canal Capital, Utilisima etc all are mentioned on Amazonas @ 61.0° West Frequencies. It is very difficult to pick up since for me it is so close to Sky Mexico on Intelsat 9/16 at 58.0°W Anyway thanks very much for all the input. Once...

    New DTV service in Panama

    A large number of bright red 1 metre Ku dishes are sprouting up around here. They all have the legend "Claro" printed on them. I believe they are receiving transmissions from Intelsat 1R at 50 West. Lyngsat does not seem to have any info about these transmissions. Does anyone have any...

    Corotator on a modern fta Box

    My best C Band LNB for reception purposes is a Norsat on a Chapparel Corotor feedhorn. This requires me to use the Legacy II analogue box to control polarity and skew. Is there a device which would connect to a modern Digital FTA Box like AZBox or Coolsat which would convert the 12v/18v...
