hi all keep trying to get this sat on my smaller dish about 85cm,should this be possible and whats the strongest tp please thanks iwol
 
Hi iwol,

I had pretty good results with an 85cm penta-i only suffered picture break up in poor weather conditions.

I used the Mbc Tp 11919H 27500 for alignment and tweeking.

In reality though a 100cm or larger dish would be better
 
thanks kenny not getting a sniff with my 85 cm and my 1.2m has that area of the arc missing via a tree cheers
 
11919H is not the best TP for aligning, as it will pick up from 28E too. Good for tweaking though.

12182H is stronger, and better as it won't get a signal from 28E, (it will from 23E, though).
 
thanks robbo will try later time permitting again :-)
 
just readjusted my dish today and I can get mbc fine on a cm 90cm dish with inverto black ultra lnb, vantage x221ci receiver

I used that 12182H to get best signal to store on my positioner
 
That's a result, guess the LNb maybe doing you a favour.
 
The only news about the Black Ultra seems to be good news.

Time to acquire one, methinks.
 
Yep, the ultra is one supa dupa LNB. I would never have believed it until I bought a couple to try.

It even made my 80cm fortec star dish into an almost proper dish, Badr4 on that too with the ultra.
 
hmm, might try one for the hell of it!

whats the crack with "focusing" ? just fixed my lnb in the holder and up it went lol!
 
Well, you can slide the LNB in and out a bit, often you can optimise the signal that way. Many LNBs have a short neck, so theres not much scope for adjusting it, but the ultra single is particularly long and allows plenty of adjustment if needed.
 
cheers robbo, is there likely to be much difference by adjusting the lnb? havent got a sat meter so i.d just have to rely on the signal strength on a 800s.

well on motorised system which you have, you dont need to skew the lnb, just try moving it forward to the dish and then back again as it can make a difference on weak signals to find the optimum position

also you need to match the lnb to the dish as not every lnb will work well with all dishes.
 
cheers wod, was just a cheapo 1m pack i got off ebay, i dont think it performs too badly but might swap the lnb for a black twin when i get a minute.cheers.
