Turksat...42East...

fennellal · 10-05-2008

Hi Guys,
I have a stationary 80cm dish with 28 East as my main lnb and beside it ihave 19East, I have a spare lnbs of which I would like to get Turksat @ 42 East, Can anyone tell me if this is possable without having to mess up the other two lnbs as I know 42 East is much lower than the other two in orbit. I have tried to find pictures of a simular setup so I would find my bearings before I start but also I have had no luck. If someone could help me with a picture of details I would be most greatful.

Regards:
Alan.

You will almost certainly have to put another dish up to get 42E.

Thats great, Thanks for the info M8, it will save me a lot of time knowing that.

Ill just buy a motor for the dish all together.

I have set up 42e (Turksat) on a 80cm dish I am receiving the likes of TNT TV8 and a lot of other channels etc all over 74% signal, But i am missing most of the south beam still, will this come by turning the lnb or am I not doing something right?

Any help wold be much appreciated.

By the way I hope we will not lose TNT when this satellite is replaced in a couple of weeks time.

can see why not, the footprint for 42e is pretty much the same for ger and uk, and mines focused on pretty much 19e

tho im not sure what 42e channels i get, just done a rescan, 73 channels found, tv8 at 70% on my technomate

Fantastic looking system you got there, thanks for the info , yeah im getting the 70 or so FTA channels, but there is a lot more to be got from this location using a big dish but i dont seem to be receiving anything from the S1 beam of 42e.

By the way I seen your system picture before, and I use it as a referance when ever i am experimenting on my dishes......

There's more than 73 receivable channels from the UK from 42e , still either way that's not bad

@ fennellal: You mentioned south beam. There's an East, West and S1 beam. You will not receive nothing from the East beam from UK.
