103W NBC Channels

[chadg2]

My dish measures 32" across, I don't know if that would be 76cm or what it would be called. I bought it new and it will not hold a lock on any of the NBC's on the Ku side of AMC-1 regardless of which lnbf I try using. I tried the new PLL from Titanium skewed -26 offset. The Beach Camera's from California are rock solid. The NBC peak at full signal and bounce to zero. No signal in between zero and full signal strength. They won't lock and stay locked. Has anyone got a lock on these channels with a 76cm or would I need a bigger dish to get these? Thanks.

I needed bigger than my 30 inch with the offset skew to get them. IIRR it would almost get a lock. Beach was no problem. 1.2m fixed on it now.

I used a 1 meter to pick up those they can be a pain but use a 1 meter at least. they are a weak signal keep trying but get a bigger dish it helps.

I get them stable most of the time on a 1m primestar dish, but its a dedicated dish with the skew adjusted for 103W. Being S2 it might be hard to do with anything much smaller. I think FatAir has the right idea-get a FAT Dish, lol.

if I need to after SES-3 gets going, I'll seek a larger fixed dish. Thanks.

And what you will miss between now and then...Keep a 1.2 Andrews fixed there.
