Hi all,
Has anyone in eastern Canada been able to get a solid lock on Hispasat 1C,1D @ 30w? I swung my 1.8m dish around and tried for a while, but nothing. I use that dish for 97W. From my location 30W is at elev 28.7 ... 97W is at 28.8 ... so I didn't fuss too much with elevation settings. I set my CS5000 to transponders that are on the american beam, and adjusted the skew by rotating the lnb from -29 to +29 degrees. My line of sight is great. I fear that signal levels here are really low and an even bigger dish is required. {...or, I gave up to quick....}
If anyone in NS, NB, PEI, ME has a lock on it, I'd love for you chime in. Perhaps indicate dish size / lnb type.
thanks,
Newt
