My System: Silvercrest SL65 FTA receiver + two dish setups. One 90cm. one 60cm two universal LNB's. | Thanks all, despite my lack of knowledge I have managed to get one MBC on Hotbird. Its a shame that the Echostar I have is so fiddly to programme and do software upgrades with. Once I am familiar with all the technical jargon and finding my way around the Sivercrest SL65 receiver I am sure things will be a lot easier. I was listening to Radio Sawa from Iraq this morning before work, very interesting (sorry guys its in Arabic). If there are others who read these threads and would like to know more about the jargon used, I found this informative site _http://www.falconsat.co.uk/information.php?info_id=7&osCsid=edb3d9519040e0032 2d7e9fa43e35627 Last edited by harrowwoman; 01-09-2006 at 06:09 PM | ||

My System: TM1500C+ and 90cm dish | i just did it and moved it east and its searching for channels; looks promising BTW is there a system/software/manual that can tell you if you should move it (and for how long) east or west when looking for a Transponder? I find it difficult looking for channels cause i'm always guessing east or west | ||

Your dish looks like it's setup OK as you are getting a few satellites, but your reciever is not sending the dish to the right location. Who set it up ?? L.

My System: TM1500C+ and 90cm dish |
The problem is this - when i set the sat. to Nilesat and enter the freq i get a poor signal. When i then try to move it (via the motorised system) west i get a strong signal but however u've pointed out that it is Hispast. If i try to move it East the only strong signal i get seems like Astra 1 - i can't seem to find any strong signal in-between. This is strange because this has never happened before. Any ideas? P.S. a guy from a satellite shop installed it. | |||

When you say 'move the dish', how areyou moving it ? do you have a controller or is it just the reciever doing it for you ?? L.

Remember of course that Nilesat WILL be a weak signal in your area, but you may be able to get the MBC channels in good weather. The signal rises a bit in the evening so try after 9:00pm this evening. Rgds L.

My System: Smart lnb, 1m Gibby dish, Stab motor, TM5200D receiver, 57east to 61west. DTT from Sudbury.

Dont worry, I wont be coming round to see your dish anytime! I can get good signals on those too, and also 13 east is very good. Tried to set up the freeview yesterday to record a movie at 10pm. By 9.45 I ws not only surrounded by various wires that no longer has their right homes but had entirely lost the freeview channels, plus could not even get the tv to put out a good picture. Totally frustrated with the way things had turned out I threw the wires on the floor and took myself off to bed. Tonight I will have another go this time with the appropriate instruction manuals to hand! | ||

Virgin Media broadband. | Ha ha, harrowwoman You would never see it from the road, ground mount in south facing back garden. I can receive from 45 east to 45 west when I keep the hedges either side trimmed to 2 metres high. For freeview I use a log periodic aerial with inbuilt amplifier located just below the gutter. All signals received AOK from CP on an ASDA brand receiver. PR Last edited by Park Royal; 06-09-2006 at 11:05 PM | ||

My System: technomate 1500 strong 4375 pace digi box triax 1.1, triax 88cm |
i think harrowman will need to have a bit bigger dish than the 90cm. I use to have a 1.1mtr dish motorised, but the 90cm is a bit small, I use 1.6mtr from the north east but even that can lose the picture with rain, mind i have yet to get a feedhorn and new lnb for it | ||

or via the motorised system?
