FTA with 18" dish

[gopher2]

ok i admint i was bored
thats a .3 invacom fyi

COOL

I assume AMC5 is your true south?

I did this a while back and got G3 really good

 

[gopher2]

83" is my due south but my view of sky is 80 deg and everything east... due to roof overhang
my neighbor gave me a dish 500 dish which is slightly bigger and i will be able to adjust for skew
i just need to drill a hole to screw the lnb in

Amazing

Nice picture quality on the ol' tele....

So are AMC5 and G3 the only Ku satellites that are strong enough to hit with a 18" dish and a Linear LNB? I've heard you guys talking AMC4 being so strong, anyone tried it?

 

[PSB]

Here are my results from some time ago with a DirecTV Phase II dish and a linear LNBF............

G3 is one off my true south so it was easy

AMC4 has KUIL & 3ABN which are screaming in. I picked those up with a Phase II no problems.

I think you could probably get the religious channel on AMC6 (72W) if skewed properly

The religious channel on AMC-6 is SCREAMING in here right now during the heavy storm at 94% signal Quality on the DVB World box (Shows lower signal quality)

WOW!

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. God must have some power over them stations. Even in rain they come through fine

Are the other Adventist stations coming in too, or just 3ABN?

97W is my true south, but with week transponders, it shouldn't work, right?

Hope Network is lower on a smaller dish but should be able to be picked up. The rest, nada

you can try. Doesn't hurt to tinker and see what you can get

Nice work! maybe I should trash the direct dish I have in the garage.
