Hello,
I have a 180cm Fortec star dish can someone help me to set it up correctly

i use a MTI Supreme Line LNB single 0,2 dB , I dont have any signal 0 % . I live in France .

i have a question can I receive Hotbird with this Dish . I bought it to receive Nilesat 7 west .

Thanks

You shouldnt have any problem with Hotbird on a 1.8m dish - in France a 50cm should be plenty!

Is that LNB an LNBf or C120 with feed horn. (it should be the C120 and the feed horn set to the f/d ratio of the dish)

Also, those dishes are difficult to build accurately.. if both are wrong you have a very big 'little' dish.

And ....the dishes are not strong so avoid strong wind exposure… or add strengthening.

thanks for your replays .

That's an LNBf .. used on offset dishes.

The dish you have is a prime focus, well I think it is... is it ?

has it 6 sections to bolt together and 3 arms that hold the lnb in the middle?

hafid59

yes my dish is a prime focus .

what sort of Lnb shoud I use ?

Channel Hopper

It is a Jonsa dish though

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

Well, 180cm fortec star prime focus dish is solid one, no segments (at least, such model is sold here).

You will need C120 flange LNB and feedhorn (check attached picture).

General plain LNB will also work (like one you have already), just 180cm dish will work as 120cm one, if not worse. But it will be still enough for Hotbird.
