Hispasat in Florida?

rjlove1 · 26-12-2008

Hi, I would like to know if i would be able to get Hispasat with my Globecast dish, Cause i have tried nothing come up, and is Hispasat far from 61.5 eckostar 3

Make sure you are looking for the channels on the American beam. You have no hope of getting the European beam channels.

Hispasat 30W is a long way from Echostar 61.5W!

rjlove1 · 26-12-2008

I want to know if it's close to the east cause when i used my compass it shows me far from west it's more likely south east am i right, and also i would like to know with my globecast 36' dish does it make any difference because it's a globecast dish not a regular dish iam not getting no Q at all i try one of the America Freq

**Analoguesat** · 26-12-2008

Ah - you probably need to change the lnb - Europe uses linear (H/V) polarization - America tends to use circular (L/R) polarity

30 W will be out towards the east

if i change the lnb would i be able to get it and could u tell me in my area i see they give me do i have to sub that from 90 degrees the lnb skew equal 33 and is the lnb skew located from the back of the dish where the numbers are i got puzzle sometimes is the elevation accurated

Elevation: 27.3°
Azimuth (true): 110.1°
Azimuth (magn.): 116.0°
LNB Skew [?]: -57.4° Dish Skew [?]: 90.0°

Am i right what the compass gave me it was more south east far from the west

rjlove1 · 26-12-2008

I thank you also for taking your time with me help out

**Analoguesat** · 26-12-2008

The elevation will be about right - remember for you that 30W will be on the lower part of the arc and therefore not very high in the sky for you.

Theres no guarantees that you will be able to get it, although you should have a reasonable chance.

rjlove1 · 27-12-2008

is that hard to get i don't want to waste time and if can't get it at all

pedro2000uk · 27-12-2008

Is that a 36' or 36"... a 36' might do it... a 36" will not ... not the European beam.. the fact that it's oval doesn't really matter.... you'll get the US beam though.. !

**Analoguesat** · 27-12-2008

What are you wanting to watch on Hispasat?

rjlove1 · 28-12-2008

Listen one of my Brother get the hispasat but not a strong signal about 60's Q and also it's only scanned 52 channel on that Freq 11884 why should it do and other to get more channel and how much channel that he should have, do u think the dish to small or the lnb not power enough it's a 30' dish

I was worried about the LNB Globecast dish would i be able to get it with that LNB or it doesnt matter. and how many channel should i get with it

More soccer what you think would i be able to get them cause i saw on Lyngsat it seem like a lot of soccer from all over there, and also if i have a a second lnb next to the main one would i be able to get intelsat 903 at 34w

We don't know that dish / lnbf too well here... it could be it is not too suitable until it's modified a bit..

can you see the information sticker on the LNBf and the settings for the lnb in the satellite receiver?

and what satellite/s should it be used on?

EDIT... just read it... 61.5w echostar 3

pedro2000uk · 28-12-2008

OK... you need another LNBf......... a ku universal 9.75-10.6 (about $6-$10?) because 30w is H/V not L/R (circular). You could just fasten it on the side of the Glogecast LNB and add a switch... that will mean you can get other satellites too that are H/V... using a circular LNBf on 30w might work but you will lose signal.

here's hispasat at 30w.......... _http://www.lyngsat.com/hispa.html ..........have a look at the channels on the American beam (in far right column)

here's Echostar at 61.5w.btw..... _http://www.lyngsat.com/echo3.html

the channels you can expect to receive on 30w are on the American beam here.... _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/hispa1d_am.html

rjlove1 · 28-12-2008

Hi, I have my brother just got hispasat and it's only 60% Q and also he only get 52 channels why is it so low i would like to know how many channels should he gets with aa normal setting, the elevation it catch the hispasat was at 30 he has a wineguard round dish Please help he wants more channels for soccer

rjlove1 · 28-12-2008

Is it the lnbf not strong enough or the dish to small he has a 30 inch. would it make any different if he order a c/ku lnbf and other to get more channels now he only has a single ku should he gets c/ku instead or doesn't matter

**Analoguesat** · 28-12-2008

Why is he expecting more? Theres only 50 or so channels transmitting on the USA beam - which you would know if you had checked the link & info you were given in post 32 properly.

If he wants more channels on Hispasat he will have to move to Europe!

Now i got Intelsat 5 with it but i was wondered if i could get any ku satellites with it

rjlove1 · 28-12-2008

ok now would i be able to get intelsat 903 from where i am at

rjlove1 · 28-12-2008

it seem like its not to far from Hispasat. and also Please tell what other satellites you guys can suggest n other to get way more channels meaning soccer and other world stuff i hate watch local which not live stuff and also I really thank everyone in this forum that have patient to help others thank you guys God bless all

**Analoguesat** · 28-12-2008

If you have been using it on Echostar 61.5W you have already been using in Ku band

**Analoguesat** · 28-12-2008

Yes - but only channels on the American C-band beams or the pay service on the Caribbean spotbeam.

The best thing you could do is move to Europe! Via satellite you cant get any of the satellites hovering above Europe as they are below your eastern horizon. You can get the birds hovering over the Atlantic but only beams that are transmitting into America.

There is one alternative if you are willing to invest a lot of dollars - a slingbox. Someone in Europe hosts a slingbox and gives you the login details. You can then watch their av-source, although you need reasonably quick broadband at both ends.

Ive got a slingbox and its a neat bit of kit, although sadly Ive never got it working through the firewalls at my workplace.
