Hi Guys,
I am back..
I finally bought a 3.8 meter Patriot dish AZ-EL. We just finished to set the whole dish, the feedhorn and LNB.....result?...NOTHING!!!! No bloody Astra 2D or Astra 2B north beam..
I dont wanna give up cause I think we didnt do everything properly:
First thing is: Do we have to set the dish for best signal on the 11778V transborder?( which is I guess where the Sky EPG is? )
I received a feedhorn which probably is not the right one for my dish: It is a dual feedhorn and for what I can understand is made for Horizontal and vertical reception cause at the beginning is square..so what we did is we rounded it to make it universal.
The feed plate says is a C feed plate instead of Ku feed plate, but it seems ok.
I have an Invacom twin 0.3 db C120 and to set it with the feedhorn we had only one option as the others holes didnt match at all.
My decoder is a Panasonic 30.
The result of all this work is that I get a signal of about 85 % setting on 11.7787 V transborder which actually is the result of what I already receive on my 1.5 meter offset dish...
It seems probably a bit confused what I tried to explane but if anybody can give me any advice, I will try to be more precise.
thanks
Tony
