My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Well

Germany is a pretty big place your precise location would be more useful or your longitude, however looking at the footprint it would appear you are right on the limit with that, your dish would be looking at the horizon. The further East you are the more chance you would have of reception but line of sight could also be a problem. According to the footprint map for Telstar 10 a 1.5mtr dish should be enough if it is above your horizon and you have line of site, it is too close to call just from your given location of Germany. What channel were you hoping to get?

thanks very much Topper

well, basically i'm after these following 8 Bangladesh channels

3787 H ETV 4600-2/3
3840 H My TV 27500-3/4
4034 H Channel I 4300-3/4
4049 H Bangla Vision 3600-3/4
4089 H Boishakhi TV 4300-3/4
4095 H Channel 1 4080-3/4
4173 H RTV 7400-3/4
4173 H NTV 7400-3/4

i am currently in Hannover, but soon will move to Cologne
please do give me some ideas about the C-Band dishes, receivers, LNBs, Motor
i do own a Humax iCord ... will it work for C-Band?
i wouldnt mind keeping the C-Band with separate devices though

where are you based in anyway ...
could you perhaps check out those channels from your location?
that'd be brilliant!

cheers

Cannot help you out there, have absolutely no chance in the NW England of receiving those C band transmissions the satellite is below the horizon to me, you will need a C band lnb and I just had a quick look at the specs of your PVR it does not appear to handle C band but I would recommend you check with humax themselves before buying another receiver.

This is just a hobby I am not in business and have no experience of C band transmissions.

i'll check out the other humax receivers

so 1.50cm dish will do the job then?
should it be mesh or offset?
what sort of c-band LNB in this case?

local satellite shops seem to have very little knowledge on c-band stuff here in germany

thanks again

thanks very much mate

so wie solte das funktuniert ... do you actually have a dish which is 240m?
if yes, could you perhaps check if you can receive those channels from where you live in germany?

vielen dank
