Movies on Hipast - 30w :)

I think I have found a spot in my yard that may work, but it's about 100 feet west of my dish farm. :eek:
Tomorrow I'll take the temporary setup (extra 1.2m, Pansat 2500, and small TV) out there and see. :)
 
The Star Choice elliptical dish kit comes in 2 sizes: 60cm/24inch and 75cm/30inch.
  • The 24inch kit is elliptical and measures 28" x 18" (approx.).
  • The 30inch kit is elliptical and measures 35" x 28" (approx.).
I have used a Round Eagle Star 60 cm (24') on a Sunny day and got 70Q on CS6000 at the house for the Cuban mux and above 80Q for the other 3 strong muxes. The 30 inch Star Choice Elliptical will be ok in most situations I think for those 4 strong muxes.
 
Howdy,
I get Hispasat 30w on a modified DTV slimline dish. SQ on my Neusat 6000 is 68 where a SQ of 42 is break-up point on the Neusat. I haven't tried my Coolsat 6000 or my FLU to check the SQ on them. My SQ holds pretty constant on the modified slimline(AU9) dish. I'm located on the Cumberland Plateau about 60 miles west of Knoxville, Tennessee. Lat. 35.9N and Lon. 85.1W. I just replaced the stock lnb cluster on the slimline with a linear lnb that looks like the old single circular DTV lnb. Focal point is right on with this type linear lnb using the stock support arm. Had to drill just one hole in the end of the slimline lnb support arm to attach the linear lnb. My elevation is 19.4, AZ 117.2, and skew is -48.5 for Hispasat for my location. I really like the slimline dish as it has fine tuning adjustment for elevation and azimuth. The slimline is about the same size as the superdish. The SQ on the slimline is about as good as my 3abn 90cm dish.
 
could I get this sat with an elliptical Starchoice dish?

I use to use my 75e dish and the sat B (aka the 111.1 LNB) since it is boresight here in MN
