40.5W SES6 & NSS806

[John]

thanks @John - i was going by @nelson_b 's test last year, where he proved signal was the same with CBAND lnb in focus position, and then, on top of the KU lnb

@ Manikm909 - Slightly Off-Topic , have a think about getting the most out of your 1.8 CM this easier & cheaper than an lnb changer way to give you Cband and Ku coverage. Optomise your Cband lnbf position first - -
I use this as a temp fix inserted in my 2.2mtr Cband feed throat to get me a Ku lnbf at true focus when looking at weak MENA beam or any fringe reception sigs - Get a cheap £9.99 micro pll Ku lnbf, get a Rhino Cables 50cm micro patch cable, find a spare Cband feed cap, take the stepped scalar rings off the cheap pll lnbf and do a bit of fabricating as seen in the pics.
It's a bit of a cheap and cheerful fix but it actually works very well. The pll lnbf using a TBS card with extended CS or EBSPro IF range and it will see signals from the Ham sat Es'hail 2 on 10492H at 25.8° East as well.

I dont quite get it @John, but thanks, not sure what its achieving.

anyway, i think im giving up chasing ESPN = its just not meant to be.

 

[Manikm909]

If ESPN use is only for soccer matches and picture speed in not an issue you could go for one of the Chinese boxes with a two year IPTV subscription enabled in the receiver when new.
In addition to ESPN. the IPTV server includes all the bein sports channels which have a large range of soccer matches from the UK and other main soccer leagues.

its a very good point, one which i was fighting. soccer =- lol

No worries - my side saddle micro Ku lnbf works really good but suffers from unwanted dish side lobe additions - - bunging the tempory when required micro pll Ku lnbf up the main Focus Cband positions throat gets me virtually side lobe free plus increased tempory performance when required , the 4 pint milk container weather cap is optional - see John with his bung inserted, Janet can. [only certain people of a certain age will get the last bit]

47.5W UAE cyling feed from the UAE tour..BISS.

 

[Satfaca]

Racetrack TV Network on 4.054 LH, SR 7500, HEVC, FTA
There are 21 channels in the mux, mostly empty but can probably all be used for feeds. Six of them with permanent transmission.

 

[Manikm909]

deffo 40.5 ? (unlike 47.5w like @scopus posted....)

 

[Satfaca]

What do you mean? This is the 40.5W thread, isn't it?!

 

[Manikm909]

yes, i was being facetious - but @scopus didnt bite.

this IS the 40.5w thread (but not the 47.5w thread @scopus - post #445 )

Oh dear, I must have my botty smacked..

 

[scopus]

Feed..not sure what yet..Ohh.. definitely 40W! 4.2.2

Any ideas?

 

[scopus]

Seeing as this thread does cover 47W! which was NSS 806..
Some sort of awards show.

its interesting...there is a specific 47.5w thread - also labelled NSS 806 - did the two positions share a sat name at some point?

according to lyngsat sat its:

SES 6 at 40.5°W
SES 14 at 47.5°W

'ere, cop for this table, it is for those members who are obsessed with the signal levels of the ESPN frequency from 40.5W.
The table illustrates the importance of having the feed and scalar positions optimised for signal reception.

I hope the table has some amusement value.

Key:
F (0) = feed rim aperture at the focal distance of dish
F - 5mm = feed rim aperture is 5mm closer to the dish than the focal distance
F + 10mm = feed rim aperture is 10mm further away from the dish than the focal distance
Scalar (mm) is the distance in mm of the scalar front face from the feed rim aperture.

Values are +/- values per feed/scalar position when compared to the global dB average of all measurements taken.
Readings taken from 2.0m prime focus dish using a Titanium C1-PLL LNBF in a polo pipe.

There seems to have been some changes on this sat inc some feeds. Saw some channel names I'd not seen before last night when I blind scanned also. Can anyone else confirm

The GT Media is reporting some extra UHD channels, but no picture here, otherwise, more or less the same as it was last time I scanned it a couple if months back..

Those boys have been on there some time, at least 5 seconds behind the true raw feed uplinks in C-Band from Galaxy 16 at 99.0 West.
