My System: technomate 1500 strong 4375 pace digi box triax 1.1, triax 88cm | i use 88cm in the back garden for badr and as i speak 7pm i am getting 63 to 64% on mbc from hartlepool with a tech 1500+, the rest of the channels are more easier to get, but its still an awkward satellite to pull in . Nilesat that is something to forget about really, i once had a 1.6 mtr dish up and the signal can lose up to 20% during the day and it gradually comes back up at night time where the mbc can go up to about 55% and one tv about 63%. For you i would say get a 1.2 dish and if it is aligned properly it might do the job for you for the badr. I use a monitor next to my dish to help me pull in the signal, its a lot easier than using a meter, i have got it spot on to get the 63% with the size of the dish | ||

My System: 7KuQuads in T90 13/19/28/40/45/53°e(still tuning 5/26/36+1CirTwin/60/75°e) + Inverto, MTI, Smart 0,2 dB LNBs. Receivers: Relook400s w LAN, Coship 5300, Force, Manhattan. | Hi, I have got a similar wish, I want to tune in to Badr 4 at 12130 V + 11919 H if possible... I live in Gothenbourg Sweden and according to LyngSat I should receive about 43 dBW from Badr 4 in this location. My antennas are one 110 cm Triax Unique and a T90 just being set up. I have my antennas on the balcony and thus I'm somewhat limited in dish size. Hence I will need the most sensitive LNBs to have a chance of reception. But like You, johnwilliam1, I can tune in the dish monitoring the tv-set through the balcony window. I was thinking of using sensitive Smart Quad LNBs for this task and if it is not suffiscient one Highsensitive MTI or Maximums V-Line Quad for the Bader 4 at 26 degree East. Which Quad or Quattro do You recommend?  Kind regards, satcat  Last edited by satcat; 27-07-2007 at 12:22 PM | ||

Which frequencies did You use to find Badr 4? Which ones are the strongest? I didn't find Badr 4 yet, so it would help to know. Kind regards, satcat | |||

hi, as i speak now 7.30pm uk time i have looked in the box and found 11788 v 27500 65% and 11862 v 27500 66% they at the moment are showing up the highest signal rate. What i did when i first got in the badr i found sky at 28e first and then gently moved the dish very slightly, a little nudge etc! i first went for 12130 v 27500 one tv i got it quiet easy really it was the mbc which was the difficult one, as i speak now the mbc is 58 to 59% , its a strange signal it can go higher and also it has been lower. i use a triax 88cm with tecnopmate 1500+ and a titanium 0.2 or a sharp 0.3 | |||

Receivers: Relook400s w LAN, Coship 5300, Force, Manhattan. | Big thanks, johnwilliam1! I will give it a try when the rain stops. On the balcony I don't get wet but it's likely that the signal does.
