What signals can you "see" at 61.5?

[Smith P.]

If you could get spectrum from those odd tpns. I'd like to see an evidence of SB, not crosstalk from adjusted tpns or different sats.

 

[Smith P.]

There is a result of using different dishes on same setup/location:
ViP622@L4.49 with Sony 18" 18SD2 and Dish500 DP LNBF:
it show better gain for even tpns (11..15) then for odd tpns (4...8). Could be advantage of using DP type of LNBF.

Second picture show measures of SNR by DVB-S card using same setup.

 

[Smith P.]

Very interesting! Looks like the beams are kicking in quite a few places. When I get back I will definitelt be cross referencing this with some of the maps we have.

Those that are missing odd transponders from 1-23 keep an eye on those and report back any changes.

ptech, I would check again as it is impossible to have a lock on all 32 TP's at 61.5 at this time.

Keep the area reports rolling in!

No, Digi - without Spectrum Analyzer all the numbers on tpns 1,3,5,7,15 are wrong - it's just 'crosstalk' from from switches/LNBFs.

(Interesting - most of odd tpns have same level as in SC and some of them higher (!) like tp29 )

Folks, we wouldn't see changes on SB tpns - engineers' activity during Sat & Sun is null.

Lets check starting Monday during business hours.

 

[digiblur]

No, Digi - without Spectrum Analyzer all the numbers on tpns 1,3,5,7,15 are wrong - it's just 'crosstalk' from from switches/LNBFs.

We've had one person saying spotbeam so far.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

We've had one person saying spotbeam so far.

Should we keep checking DIGI ? Are they making changes as we speak? Or have they already made changes. I can check again if you wish.

 

[Smith P.]

You missed that point - it was a leak from 110W SB.

 

[digiblur]

I wouldn't keep checking except for maybe every 2 days or so.

 

[digiblur]

You missed that point - it was a leak from 110W SB.

I didn't see where the poster stated it said 110 spotbeam.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I checked,and its no different then when I last posted anyway!

 

[brownover]

You missed that point - it was a leak from 110W SB.

It said 61.5 Spotbeam. That I am certain of because I have looked several times.

 

[TheKrell]

Brownover and myself are both seeing "spotbeam" on transponder 3. Back when this thread began, I posted results from my 625 that showed wrong satellite (119) and no spotbeam. Then the signal stength went to 1/2, but it started showing locked on 61.5 and spotbeam. Having just checked again an hour ago, it's back up to the 60s and still shows "locked - 61.5W" and above the "3" a "spotbeam". My 311 also agrees on these points.

 

[ncted]

I just checked my 625. It changed to Spotbeam when I selected TP 3. It was locked on 61.5 and signal strength was 91. I cannot confirm on my 722 as my wife is watching TV.

Just to be sure, if you can, do P Smith a favor and hang a piece of foil on the face of the 110/119 LNB and check your signals on 61.5. That way you'll know for sure the spotbeam is coming from 61.5.

 

[Smith P.]

Would be interesting to see a screenshot from that ppl. BUT only if the receiver connected directly to 61.5W dish without switch.

Sorry, but I don't have a ladder long enough to get on my roof.
