Hi,
I live in London, and I still can't get Badr 4.
1. I got a cheap (but new) receiver from Jordan (dead cheap prices there). I noticed that it has Badr 2/3/4, when I think it should be Badr 3/4/5. The receiver also is missing a lot of transponders. I am talking about transponders found on lyngsat.com and kingofsat.net. for example, the transponder 11919 27500 H is missing. Does this mean this receiver is no good for use in UK (i doubt that). Mind you, I am able to manually add the transponders in.
2. When I do add the transponder, and direct the dish, it receives a very strong signal (90% strength, 72% quality), but the channels are all german (i think), which makes me believe it is directed to another satellite, most likely Astra, since it is close by. I did try to tune to 12182 H 16200 3/4, as mentioned in this thread, but no signal at all, whatever direction i point the dish to.
3. I bought the dish from London, it is 1m, and i put it up myself. The feed horn (the LN
is baught from Jordan. Do you think I should get one from UK?
4. I think the setup is OK (i.e. the receiver, cables, ..etc) since if I direct it to Astra and search for channels, i get about 300 channels, but all german (except aljazeera)
5. what is the significance of the 12V to the LNB? there is an option to turn on/off 12V to LNB
So far, all my attempts to tune to Badr 4 has failed. I keep getting german channels! Do you think if I change the receiver, i will be able to pick up the channels? I admit that I found so many software bugs in the receiver, but I think i am working around them just fine.
