21.5E (Eutelsat 21B)

[Piltdownpaul]

I've given up trying to get more than 3 channels from this one - the return on time/effort is not good!

Time for a small tincture, methinks.

I can only receive three also,never managed to get a sniff of anything,therefore i'm having a sniff of pernod.

This is odd. Im using a badly set up offset lnb on a 16E 1m dish (theres a garden cane jammed under the 21E lnb to raise it up a tad!) and I can get all the channels and you and Tivu using properly set up dishes only get 3??

 

[Piltdownpaul]

I used to get Alrai but i've lost that too. Got a narrow inverto lnb for spring to conquer this sat!

 

[Analoguesat]

????

Alrai

SNR 82%
AGC 99%
BER 0

As strong as Yemen Today.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

I personally think the lnb bracket has moved slightly over the winter ,thats my theory.It doesnt make sense i know. Both lnb brackets are going to have proper side mounts to the dish in Spring too.

Afaq TV was jumping today between unlockable and 8.3dB in a space of a few minutes! What's with this satellite?

Nice work Dxhound

 

[Analoguesat]

Anyone getting a signal from

Al Mayadeen 2

12532H
2200
fec auto??

Absolutely nothing here so far

 

[Lazarus]

Not a sausage.

 

[RimaNTSS]

On that frequency I am getting Palmedia1 channel. ATM it is still picture.

 

[Analoguesat]

Excellent - can you give us a proper fec reading?

 

[RimaNTSS]

Can not lock it anymore (strange). Can not find proper FEC, that was auto and DreamSet also shows auto.

 

[Analoguesat]

Keep trying - 21.5E tends to get blatted by feeds from 23.5E, so the channels come & go.

 

[RimaNTSS]

OK, found FEC, that was 1/2. Screenshot background picture is from another channel. If there were no 23,5*E near I would use blindscan, but in this situation I can pick-up frequencies from 23,5*E and that will be complete mess.

 

[Archived-1]

ive just done a scan, and its brought these up, i will have a better look when the wifes not watching tv :-).

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Nice,not a sausage here
