Here we have a screenshot and the TS analyzer window of sotos65 receiving strong signal on his 1.10m in Chania (Western Crete): http://www.avclub.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=261987

As you can see, the "HD" is a very poor DVB-S H.264 signal <100KB/s

Tried it on my Humax , no luck.

Isn't AB4 too weak in Portugal Rato ?

**rato** · 30-09-2007

I get Al Jazeera 1 & 2, MBC 1,2,3 & 4 with 75% signal quality(90cm dish). I tried the above freq., but the channel did not show up.

***deepbluesky*** · 30-09-2007

Those are on the Nilesats. AB4 carries the following: http://www.lyngsat.com/ab4.html and take a look at the beams: http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/ab4.html <38dbW for the Wide beam which means at least a very well 1.80m not to say 2.40m in the most eastern parts of Portugal. But i don't know how realistic the footprint is in your region since i could get only one frequency as the stongest of all at 7W on my 65cm Gibertini: 12341V

Yes, you are correct. But since I did a search on that frequency(10834GHz.), the channels on Nilesat showed up. I did then a fine tune(advanced search) in DVB-S2 and the signal strength lowered to 25% and signal quality was 0% to 2%.

***deepbluesky*** · 30-09-2007

I see. I wonder why AB4 has this strange beam. Are Algeria and Morocco 2nd category arabic speaking states ?

***Turok*** · 30-09-2007

Hi!
okay,i check,this transponder tomorow!
the Arabsat,has bought,the old Hotbrid 4,now atlatic bird,one year ago,this is the reason,why the beam,has a very limited range,here,in austria,is it very strong,like astra,also during heavey rain,perfect signal,with 90 cm antenna!

The new Technomate HDs (PVR ready) look interesting but haven't seen a review by any users yet.

Seems to have been some problems with the Humax and they are appearing on Ebay

. Maybe ppl bought them for the world cup and then didn't want whats on offer after that. Which isn't a great deal just yet.
