43.1°W (Intelsat 11)

somebody catch this bird on spain

 

[Channel Hopper]

The C band broadcasts are apparently available with a 2m dish throughout Europe.

What programme are you hoping to catch ?

I tried to get a lock on the C band transponders recently from 43.1W with a Precision 2.0m dish and failed from a UK location. It might have been the dish/feed alignment that was not set correctly or partially blocked line of sight to the satellite. Have you tried to get signals with your Precision 2.2m dish that you said you were going to install?

Forum member "antrabe" in Spain should have a better chance than us folk in the UK as he is directly under the part of the footprint with strongest signal for Europe and the Northern tip of Africa?

.. Tried 43.1 West @ 11.45am UK time today with a 2.2 Elite PF antenna with limited success - lock on Hor signals only at that time.

@John

The 3878H frequency you locked on a scan with EBS Pro is an interesting one, what is the carrier bandwidth? From the FEC, Standard and Modulation types it should need around 7.9db for a lock for a video signal yet EBS sniffed it out at 2.8db. I could not see it listed on Lygnsat or Flysat.

check it "carefully": this is a MIS frequency (GS Stream)

Ah, I missed that point, you have good eyes

Hi everybody ! Today I reviewed and checked all the frequencies on 43W c band with my 230 cm solid prime focus dish with a LNB which is not at the center of the dish, well, the result was this :
3838H WOOHOO 4 db
3847H REDE CNT 4 db
3875H BETHEL HD 6 db
CANAL 36 - 7 db woooow
3996H DISCOVERY 6 db
4026v rural 6 db
4040h cnn mexico 5,5 db unwatchable
4079v venus 3,8 db unwatchable
These are results near the Black sea c

Thank you for sharing the result of your scan

4185 H few channels added some days ago

4185 H, just for info, English Club TV is FTA, it's time to learn english (especially for me )

somebody in Spain receive this bird ? if can say dish size and location i hope soon to test

 

[mrhardylima]

In portugal i was able to get only 1 tp with 2M solid dish. My dish dont have a proper holder for the lnb, so its not centered.

 

[antrabe]

near Barcelona tests 290 channels 36tp with 3.1m prime focus fix lnb titanium

The 3.1m prime focus dish sounds nice.

¡¡Hola!! Yo lo tengo desde Barcelona!
parabolica 3.10m
[QUOTE = "moonbase, post: 1065674, miembro: 178786"] Intenté obtener un bloqueo en los transpondedores de la banda C recientemente de 43.1W con un disco Precision 2.0m y fallé en una ubicación del Reino Unido. Podría haber sido la alineación del plato / alimentación que no se configuró correctamente o parcialmente bloqueó la línea de visión al satélite. ¿Ha intentado obtener señales con su plato Precision 2.2m que dijo que iba a instalar?

El miembro del foro "antrabe" en España debería tener una mejor oportunidad que nosotros, la gente en el Reino Unido, ya que está directamente debajo de la huella con la señal más fuerte para Europa y el extremo norte de África. [/ QUOTE]
¡Hola! Desde España con 2,4 m entra casi todo, pero completo hace falta 3,10m, yo ahora con 3,10 m, entra todo !! Un saludo.

i upgrade my equipment to famaval 2.4m but almost the same result than with 1.8m televes from south of spain. i can get fox hd brasil with 9db cnn 10db but few more tp locked almost the same with 1.8. My question is more to the south is worse for this sat my friend from barcelona almost fully locked with the same dish

After my half baked attempt at linear polarity in C-Band on 45.0W I thought I would give 43.1W a try. This time I had a little bit more luck resulting in locks on a couple of transponders.


CANAL 36
3877 V, SR 1546, DVB-S, QPSK, FEC 3/4, signal level required for a lock = 5.5db.
unencrypted

CNN Mux
4040 H, SR 30800, DVB-S, QPSK, FEC 7/8, signal level required for a lock = 7.2db
encryption = PowerVu

I have pasted a couple of screen captures below from the channels I locked.

I tried a few adjustments to the feed/scalar distance today to see if I could improve the signal level. There did not seems to be much scope but I gained a few tenths of a dB, just enough to completely lock all of the channels in the CNN mux on 4040 H, SR 30800. I was getting some breakup on these last night but they are all stable today.

I am quite close to locking one or two other transponders from 43.1W. Perhaps a bit more tweaking or a different LNB might help?

Attached below are pictures from all 8 channels in the CNN mux.
