Just quick update, dish moved away from trees, looks like I have a few more TP's available than EMPB on 5W, also can get one TP on 1W, 3985 R, BBC Africa radio feed. No luck with Fox News as yet 3722 R.

Early days still working on the feed horn distance and ground mount.

You won't have any luck with Fox News unless you are using a PC DVB Card as it is non standard Satellite DVB Format/Modulation/Codex (DVB-S2/32APSK MPEG-4 Stream 0 ACM and not DVB-S or DVB-S2/QPSK or 8PSK).

Nice to see your getting more with a slightly bigger dish, your 1.5m compared with my 1.1m equivalent (Triax TD110, 1.06m) and being ever so slightly nearer the footprint

I am still going to have a go at 0.8W see if I can get:

and need to have another look at DVB-S on 46E 4145 H DVB-S/MPEG-2 6666 2/3, 49E 3590 L, 3743 L & 53E 3708 L 4280, lost 5E RAVE_TV since it changed to 3644 L 1300 though.

No Joy 26E here.

4.5W (ie 5W) locked 4137 L 2510 7/8 (DVB-S/MPEG-2) S L B C TV (Sierra Leone Broadcasting Company)

:thum:

Are you still getting :

5W 3727 R DVB-S 29950-7/8

I've had no signal since yesterday

(Im only getting SCOPUS-NET-TECH (ORTB), ORTB-BB-24, SLBC, Tele Sahel & Program 1 (Tele Africa) at the moment)

S L B C TV just rebroadcast RTI1 Cote d'Ivoire for the Sierra Leone - Ivory Coast match!

And 26E Ku-Band RTI1 was clearly a better picture than SLBC TV's 5W C-Band rebroadcast.

Yes looks OK for me. good signal strength and lock here...

Re: 5W 3727 R DVB-S 29950-7/8, It's def still DVB-S? ie its not switched to DVB-S2 has it?

@empb :
Nothing has changed

But I think ,if your problem has started a week ago, it could be because of ABS3A.
"the opening" angle is wide on small antenna like yours, you may try to fine tune 5°W.

Because there is a same frequency @ 3°W 3727 V 29875

FlySat ABS-3A @ 3° West - Acknowledged Ku-Band PAL Carrier Tests

ABS 3A at 3.0°W - LyngSat - Added Satellite Acknowleging it is active in test but no test freq info

KingOfSat - European Satellite Zapping & Directory - Not even added 3W yet!

thx Feedsat_DXer :thum:

But here are my numbers: (5°W Technomate Meters)

ORTB-BB-24 Signal 92% Quality 62%
SCOPUS NET TECH (ORTB) Signal 91% Quality 60%
Tele Sahel Signal 90% Quality 49%
Program 1 (Tele Africa) Signal 90% Quality 50%
S L B C TV Signal 90% Quality 51%
CRTV Signal 91% Quality 50%
RTG1 Signal 90% Quality 49%

As you can see I have quote a few channels just on the edge/threshold of reception!

I'll ask does anybody receive the Eutelsat 9° East 20185 L 25000 2/3 and which location?

C-Band :

Thanks (dunno why I can't get it to work as a proper YOUTUBE VID but hey).

Further Info, We will find out if this goes through and C-Band reception is totally destroyed by evil mobile phone companies, they shouldn't need any more bandwith....After WRC-15 [​World radiocommunication conference 15] which will be held in Geneva Nov. 2-27.
