Getting CCTV on G3C with 18' Dish???

[prosat]

I read Iceberg was able to get CCTV with 18' dish. I know that CCTV on G3 has a very strong TP. I tried a 0.6 dB LNBF with 18'. But I could not lock the signal.
What is the problem? Do I need a better LNBF? Or is it my location (southwest of North Carolina)?

I have a normal 30' pointing to IA5. I just want put this little 18' dish to work.

when you use a 18" (I didnt hink you meant 18 foot dish) for G3 the skew must be absolute precise or it won't work. I lucked out as G3 is right next door to my True South (IA6) so skew is almost zero

The LNB I used in my setup was a .6 so its not that. You just have to have the skew dead on 9when you work with a smaller dish, there is minimal room for error)

to see what your skew is for G3 check out http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Installation.htm

Here are some results I had after trying to use a Phase III dish with a KU LNBF

The Level Angle Meter measures 16 degrees (In Calif.). This was for CCTV. Of cource the polarity was off by 90 degrees because I Strapped the Universal LNBF on a gutted Dishnet LNB (and 18 inch dish).

I could also get a few of the feeds on IA5 lin NDTV.

Thank you Iceberg, PSB, Azel. I will try my luck again this weekend.

I wonder....would this work for SBS6? I've got a friend that would love to get just ONN!
