    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Yep its the aerial Oy AS24, I'm enjoying 28.2E on it, even in blizzardly conditons (thanks 2e), except UK spot for which I hope 27.5w will fill. Hopeful plan is to integrate both feeds to the Dbox with seamless switching from the bouquets. ..and yes its a homemade heating element, actually a...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    :) Finally got a lock on 27.5W on the Dreambox. Multiple problems...matching LNB to dish...ground noise requiring upside down mounting of the antenna and very, very precise positioning of the mounting pole to align the satellite view through the small gap in the trees. Lots of fun though...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Aaaah...The clone requires patched drivers to run OpenPli, VU and DB are/were directly supported (DB no longer since source code has been pulled out of public domain). OpenPli driver for the tuner are my current concern so no, not same patch. Re PMT which is carried in the encypted stream, there...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Openpli runs nicely and the Bcm4505 supports the symbol rate. There are very detailed threads on precisely this setup for the later stages once I get past this annoying signal issue. Just need to confirm I can get the sat. I'd also not be happy to buy a Technomate box & then find they change to...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Its a clone, the bcm45405 tuner supports up to 45 Mb/s and with Open Pli 4.0 patched drivers it is not an issue, at least from the forum reports.

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Thanks Timo, I still can't lock 11495v although can see a few peaks on my budget signal meter. Now waiting for usb sat box to run crazy scan and identify with spectrum analyser. I think I have an issue with my dm800 se clone not locking the high symbol rate, so will need to check my firmware and...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Although not quite on 2E (But Related) dos anyone have experience of the signal level in Sth Finland of IS-907 27.5W (11495V) which carries BBS satback. I can get a weak signal on a 1.2m dish but Hispasat at 30W makes it hard to get an accurate dish alignment. As I am shooting through a gap in...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Hi, Yes I can see 2F, although not the UK spot of course. I am really wondering though if the 2.4 has seen better days, I strung it in summer and there was about 1 cm bewteen the cross strings, plus few small bullet dents in it, so it is not quite true. I realigned the lnb focal point (was about...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Here's what I get from a 2.4m Aerial with Black inverto ultra lnb. Much the same as Timo with his 1.8m in Helsinki but I'm around 60 km north of there. Tempted to setup my 1.8 CM antenna again to see if it's just my 2.4 antenna that is not as efficient as it shoud be (Its quite old) but its a...
