Nilesat at 7W is pretty far east for most of North America. Where are you located? A 1.8m dish is pretty small if you are in North America looking east at the horizon.

According to this: Nilesat...Satellite... Foot Print you're quite a way out of the footprint. But I may be wrong. no one in N.A. has any experience with that bird.

From the look of the footprint map, Nigeria is out of the footprint by quite some distance. If live links are a problem, please delete the link. Here is a link to a place you can check footprints for Nilesat or others: Footprint : Nilesat 101 (7.0° West) - Ku-band Middle East Beam

From the looks of the LNBFs you have pictured, It appears they are designed for an offset dish. An offset LNB will not work to well on a Prime Focus dish such as what you have pictured. There are Ku band LNBFs that are specially designed for use on a Prime Focus dish. This would get you the much more stable results than what you were trying.

On a different forum this one was mentioned: Strong Universal Prime Focus LNBF, (SRT L708)

Invacom makes a pretty good Prime Focus LNB, but it requires a separate C120 flange: Invacom SNF-031 'C120' 0.3dB Prime Focus LNB

If it was my setup, I would go with the best LNBF that I could afford.
What you pick depends largely on what your budget is.

Good luck.

You have a Prime focus dish, but are using a LNBF meant for an Offset dish. Your LNBF is only seeing a small percentage of the dish. You need a LNBF designed for a Prime Focus. Invacom feedhorn with a good lnb maybe?

Ku band feedhorns from the Satellite Superstore UK. Prime and offset feedhorns. Low prices. Big discounts
The Invacom feedhorn has a 23mm neck and a C120 flange It is made of
aluminium and has scalar rings. It is designed for prime focus dishes. The rings are adjustable on a screw thread
Adjustable F/D 0.32-0.43

This side of the pond, I know www.satelliteav.com has a Prime focus Ku LNBF.
Thought the Internet went by by, nope, ya just beat me at posting.

hello friends....
NSS 7 - 22.0° West with this type of frequency 3644 R 27497, how can i input such frequencies with right (R) and light (L) in my receiver? or check this site to see the frequency your self. NSS 7 @ 22.0° West Frequencies
thks

 

[Mr Tony]

Those are circular frequencies so the LNB has to support it

You enter then as vertical or horizontal. The rule I remember is RV
Right polarity-vertical
Left polarity-horizontal
