Spent yesterday evening redoing my new 9/10E dish - massive improvements after I realised the bloody hedge was in the way and the dish needed moving a couple of feet!

Using the flysat W2A list:

_http://www.flysat.com/eutelsatw2a.php

UP4 10970V

SNR80%
AGC 99%
BER 300-1300


Also received:

Aha feed 11061V (black screen when checked)
Al Jazeera 11141H
Noursat 11165H
Beladi 11179H
Sat 7 11181H
Eurotic TV 11187V
Suroya/French Lover/XDream 11190V
Al Ahd 11624V
Reform TV 12507V
MGM mux 12611H (all scrambled)
Disney 12684V (scrambled)


Payam TV 11171H added as well. This one only just locks

The BER is horrible on it:

SNR 73%
AGC 99%
BER 15000!

Added late last night:

Adjara TV 11160H. Its unwatchable due to extreme picture jitter but its definitely the Adjara logo lower right



Not bad considering this is one of the scruffy old very second hand 80 cm dishes. :)
 
So far have failed to log

ANB 11144H
Syria 11148H
Al Forat 11174H.

Al Forat is a difficult one as its only 3MHz from Payam TV and uses the same SR FEC and pids.......
 
would using a 1metre in your location make a difference on 10e ?

i see your using a dreambox heard the tuner is not that sensitive, i see you have a technomate 1000d have you tried this on 10e ?
 
I'll maybe try the TM over the summer when Ive got a few minutes.

A 1m would probably help, but I dont have a spare one lying around - the 80cm was one of the spare ones I had lying around blocking up holes in the hedge :D

I believe in minimal expenditure on equipment as far as possible
 
Just receiving an Al Jazeera feed on 11156 H 3978
 
Lol. Nah - Id never get away with 6 dishes in the garden if I lived anywhere with a large population!

:-rofl2
 
all i picked up was al jazeera then i moved the dish to try and find the other channels and lost al jazeera
 
nasa tv on 11024V 2600. i think i remember you said you wanted to receive this
 
Finally added ANB on 11144H 2441 2/3. Full strength here so must be intermittent.
 
Good stuff - Syria logged as well :)

11148 H
2894 3/4

And after a bit of off frequency tuning Al Forat

11174H 2532 3/4.

All DVB-S broadcast channels now received on an 80cm dish

this one was just a short feed as i checked it and it was off after a hour i saw nasa tv on it.

think you might be best with a 1metre dish on 10e if you making that position in your dish farm but your other half wont like more dishes will she ?
 
have you not yet found anywhere to position a dish or dishes for west satellites ?
 
OK, this is my 1st post here. If I have posted in the wrong place then apologies.

I have a 80cm dish and motor (fairly new install) and have no trouble with satellites from 58w to 53e. 10e is the only sat that I cannot see much on. Am currently seeing only 1 signal (IHA on 11.061V). I'm located 20 miles east of London. Should I be able to see more from here? Looking at the footprint on Lyngsat,I thought that I should.

Any ideas or suggestions please?

Welcome to the Forum!

No, you'll never see more than a handful of Channels with that size Dish.

Those that you can get are often not permanent ie Associated Press News Feeds etc.

Thanks for the info. What dish size would you suggest, as I am really interested in seeing the feeds on this satellite.

As well as my own 80cm, l I have a 1.1m , which performs acceptably well on 10E: But I'm in North Yorkshire, so hopefully someone closer to your own location may better able to advise :)
 
I can see most of the feeds on 10E with an 80cm dish here in south eastern Scotland

Ive been logging the sports feeds I find:

http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/sport-satellite-feeds-section/

Be aware that at least half the feeds here are DVB-S2 and not receivable on most hobby level equipment

Tyhe feeds Ive logged are DVB-S so anyone can watch them.

ALso please note that quite a few of the tv channels have ceased off W2A in the last few weeks. Adjara has gone, as well as Eurotic/Suroya/French Lover/XDream.

UP4 is distinclty errartic and comes and goes.
