Edision SES-2 87.1W reception

[OswaldFTA]

Hello

Is anybody receiving transponder 5 (11811 H 11150) and 18 (12044 V 3200) at SES-2 87.1W?

In case of receiving, please specify location (state), dish size and LNB model.

I'm trying to perform a fine setup of my motorized offset dish (0.9 m) and this satellite is the closest to my longitude, but I cannot get any signal from it.

Receiving both now. TP5 is 7.2 dB and TP18 is 9.2 dB.

I'm in southern British Columbia. My dish is 1-metre. LNB is Invacom QPH-031.

Getting both here in southwestern Ontario, using a 75e dish (Shaw Direct xKu Quad LNB).

If you are having trouble locking the satellite, I'd suggest using 11961 H 29997 or 11780 V 4999 (data) to point with as they are two of the strongest TPs I get.

Thanks. I think that with a 0.9 m I will struggle getting the signal, but knowing that TP19 has more power. then I will focus my attention on this one. That LNB is one of the best in the market, 0.3 dB figure Noise tested in each unit.

Thanks. That info helps a lot. I don't see the info of those transponders in LyngSat.

11961 (or 11960 according to Lyngsat) is the Newsource transponder feeds with seven channels. 11780 is data only and, according to my AZBox, is DVB-S/QPSK.

11960 H 30000 is listed in Lyngsat as CNN Newsource feeds.

11780 V 5000 is definitely the strongest on 87W. Use it for dish orientation. But it won't scan in since it's a data tp. Or orient using 11960 H 30000.

DON'T use 11811 H 11150 for initial dish orientation since you must be precisely pointed to receive it. This one is good for final dish orientation.

Thanks cyberham, I will use that transponder (11780 V 5000).
