i need help

[overtaker]

Hi I'm not sure if I post this in the right sub forum
I'm newb trying to setup my satelite dish

I have a problem trying to get the CCTV 1 in
AsiaSat 3S at 105.5°E - LyngSat
I can get most of the (free) tv that's below 500 freq, but never manage to get those above 10,000

anyone got any idea?

thx

Can you be more specific and list a Transponder you can and can not get?
Also list your Receiver make, LNB and Dish.

 

[overtaker]

receiver make: goldsat GSR-2600

LNB: 5150
Dish: no idea

I'm not sure what you mean by Transponder, if it means the channels, i can get almost all the non encrypted ones
from China Entertainment TV to Geo TV in that list

AsiaSat 3S at 105.5°E - LyngSat

and my dish is static, can't move

 

[Lak7]

AsiaSat 3s
Transponder 2H
Frequency: 3860
Polarity: H (horizontal)
Scan Rate: 26670

Maybe "below 500" was typo in first message.
If you mean "Below 5000" that makes sense.
Your 5150 LNB is for C Band Freq., they only have 4 digits
Do you see the CCTV1 towards the bottom of the Lyngsat page, it has 12511 listed as the Freq.
That is Ku Band(5 digits) You would need a Ku LNB to receive that.
I Googled your receiver and did not find much, so I can't tell you if it can handle the Ku frequency, but getting a Ku LNB is where you should probably start.

It looks to me like you get the C-band channels just fine, but now you're trying to get Ku band, around 12500 Mhz channels, so you need a different lnbf to get those higher channels. For you, a universal lnbf would allow you to get the transponders and channels above the 12000 MHZ point on that bird.

thanks, yeah it was a typo, my bad should be 5000

I can set the LNB to 10750 manually
but when i try to set for CCTV
freq: 12511
pol: H
scan rate: 4340

I couldn't receive anything
did I set the Ku band freq correctly? the option only has one field to enter LNB freq

 

[Mr Tony]

you need a Universal LNB that goes from 10.7-12.75Ghz

The standards that we use here in North America don't go about 12.2Ghz

When you get the Universal it should be set for Universal 1 with LNB Freq of 9750/10600

 

[overtaker]

I'm sorry but I don't understand how to "get the Universal" is it by setting the LNB freq to somewhere between 10.7-12.75GHZ ?

 

[Mr Tony]

In the receiver menu there should be an option for a standard or Universal LNB

Set it to Universal if that is an option

Try a Hard Boot (power off switch on back of receiver, wait 30 secs., then power On)
You should start a new Topic
