i once heard that sometimes you can get softcrypted POWERVU transmissions on feeds using a POWERVU decoder with no need of authorization key,but until now i never seen it ,i´m planing to do a proper test on all Powervu channels i can get here in spain ,then post all the findings

Wow! I like that Dish!!! What size is it? And what language is that? Is it Czech?

***deepbluesky*** · 31-01-2009

It's the dish of the site owner Roman David in Eastern Slovakia. He's using a Prodelin 3.7m. More pictures here: _http://web.dxsatcs.66.sk/php66/index.php?str=7&spr=26

since when??? i think is still running on Astra 2C but using a FTV card and can receive it 24/7 with a small dish in Levante area

***wod*** · 31-01-2009

channel 5 is on astra 2d now as it has joined the freesat service, so if your dish is big enough you will receive it

**kamaleon** · 01-02-2009

I very marginally received channel 5 (and all the rest of freesat) in lisbon with a 60cm dish.

we know that but there is also an encrypted version on Astra 2C and a smart card FTV is needed for that ..that will work at least until April2009

Here is the link: _http://www.lyngsat.com/intel903.html

hi again ,i´v just been scanning sats and here what i got tonight from 34.5ºW

RTI (Radio Television Ivoirienne) from ivory coast... perfect reception
and KNR TV from greenland shows DR1 on the picture ,this one is breaking up heavy ,in the other side no sign of Nigeria or Kenya ,i should be receiving a special waveguide from australia soon ,i will do some test with it and will report any improvements...regards

pedro2000uk · 20-02-2009

Nice result ... thanks for the pics... Pipino....

which LNB are you using for this ....

....and where are those C band lnbfs from... are the feedhorns .6 .... they look like they are..

cheers..

**pipino** · 20-02-2009

in this case i´m using a Zinwell (dual polarity) 15Kº LNB ,available here in spain from TECATEL ,very good performer specialy with offset Dishes

pedro2000uk · 20-02-2009

Thanks Pipino.... and I just saw the previous link to those C Band offset feedhorns... 60 Euros .. oops are they any good?

**pipino** · 20-02-2009

hhmm 60€ ,a bit expensive i think ,unless you have it with a feedhorn ,yes they are very good i tested many different ones and this one has that extra difference,guys from german DX board could make a comment about it

***Huevos*** · 20-02-2009

Hi Pipino,

I'm just trying to eyeball how deep you have got the Andrew's feedhorn positioned but it's not possible with the pictures that have been posted. I've read somewhere that the feedhorn needs to be as far from the dish as possible as the dish is 0.66 and the feedhorn for 0.60. What have you done here?

One other question: the channels you listed on Astra 2D, did you receive them with the LNB skewed for the arc or skewed for 2D?

if you take the black holders coming on the CM feedhorn pack you can read on one side antenna you put them facing outboard as it pushes the lnb on the farest point from the dish (see the picture below)..tommorow i will retake few fresh snaps and post them here the lnb is skewed on the arc but refined at 24º clockwise on astra 2d ..by the way it will be nice posting some pictures of your system

..best regards

Bump again?

try to use your imagination,yes you are right its not centred 100% but is off set about 3º to 5º out of the main focus point,but knowing the tolerence C band has you can have this margin

I haven't got it all together yet; been a bit too busy lately. I'm building the concrete base at the moment. I've got everything except the receiver now. As soon as I get it together I'll post some pics.

By the way, what's that LNB? I thought you had a QDF-031.

**pipino** · 21-02-2009

ok m8,thanx

,the LNB in the picture is an Inverto Flange Twin ,works very well specialy in vertical transponders (like BBC HD ,ITV and channel 4+1) but QDF31 beat it for the horizontal ,especialy 10.714 H as i cant see it with inverto ,the picture you see is the first tests i´v made when i started the setup..cheers

**pipino** · 21-02-2009

here is another one from the african pond,,very strong signal here already reported by qwer on global footprint Intelsat 53º west "ORTM" from Mali 4161 R SR 5750 fec 1/2..shame no sportmax possible

If one was to use his imagination why come to a forum

So you mean everytime you move your dish to a C band bird it's always 3° to 5° out?
