Monoblock question about 1W

devonbrown

In Algarve I have just set up my dish to receive 1W (with the help of this site). I have a Inverto 0.2db monoblock LNB which I was using for 19.2E and 13E. When I program the Diseq sw and scan I get 4 TPs in 7W 11.766H, 12.073H, 12.149H and 12.284V. I find no relationship to the channels I get and to the ones listed on Lyngsat. EG on 12.073H I get 7 channels 1 ENTER-FILM, 2 INTER+, 3 ENTER, 4 SCI, 5 OSK-Odessa, 6 UBC and 7 Univermag. These have no relationship to what is on Lyngsat. can anybody tell me what's going on?
Another question. At present I have one neck of my monoblock in the clamp and I get 1w and 7w. If I put the other neck in the clamp should I get 1W and 4.8E if I change the diseq?
Sorry for my ignorance but up until 2 weeks ago I only played with Sky.

Judging by the channels you've scanned in you're on 5E not 1W, try the other LNB as you might have both 5E and 1W, if not it means more playing with your dish.

Hi, Those channels you are getting are on Sirius 4.8E I believe.

Check them on kingofsat channel search facility.

What you need to do is to establish which side of the LNB is LNB1. This can be done by putting your hand over each one in turn.

Often on monoblocks it is the Hotbird LNB that is on Diseqc 1.0 position 1.

You are right I am on 1W and 4.8E. It does show up on 7W also but it is 4.8E. I did not know of kingofsat thanks. More playing for me.

Yes, if some trandponder details are common between two satellites ( which is often the case) the receiver can't tell the difference, and can fool you into thinking that you are picking up a different satellite.
