hi -
just wondering if anyone is receiving and could check this transponder
Flysat lists it as now with 3730 V 30000. with 2 active channels
when i input this frequency i get an unlocked signal at around 6 db
when i change the polarity to H i get a locked signal around 10 db
but the F15 will not download any channels ?
i get the same results using s.p.9000 hd

regards - nelson.b.

No idea but that's a heck of a signal. Strange that you're getting it on both polarities. Either it's being received on your circular LNB or the signal itself is circular... or something else?

Lyngsat isn't showing anything so maybe there's nothing being transmitted despite Flysat's information. But I can't reach that far (yet) so no idea what's there.

hi -
the signals pictured are using the linear l.n.b
if i use the "circular" l.n.b. the signal is much reduced -- no lock
 
Nothing here. Tried it several times within last weeks and never any sign of signal. Tested also both linear and circular ways and H+V but no new bird yet U-zzz
 
Nothing for me either.

This is probably the weird Africa & Europe beam: http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?beam=7298
The package is 3730 V 30000 3/4 8PSK, and a data transponder is at 3730 H 30000 5/6 8PSK (thanks qwer @ dishworld.de).
thanks for this info - hvdh
i will continue trying to lock this t.p. as 3730 V 30000 3/4 8PSK,
when this dreadfull weather clears it might lock as a vertical - getting around 6.5 db at the moment so maybe a chance .

hi -
i,m getting occasional lock on 3730 V 30000 3/4 8PSK, but not enough to download channels -- i think once the skies clear i may get it now, -- showing 7.6 db at the moment -


the data signal on 3730 H 30000 3/4 8PSK,that "hvdh" mentioned is not showing a signal here now for me .

but i am getting 3783 V 1200 3/4 Champions of fire - id - DIGITAL 1.
with a strong signal

cheers - nelson.b.

Nicely done Nelson ..
I suspect I'll have a very good chance at this bird using Christina ...once the leafage dies down at the back end of the year.

hi nelson tried this bird i get champions tv at 73% quality the transponder 3730V is 63% quality no lock heavy cloud at the moment will try when it clears.
 
hi folks -
not looked at C band on this sat for ages --
2 new channels here for me --
Glow tv is added to 3730 V 30000

and Kingdom life network on 4026 V 1200
almost the same frequency as Champions of fire (4027 V 1156) the F15 will not store both,
(same t.p. exits - :))

its a pain in the backside when it does that... can you not get them both to scan in/lock if you ajust by 1mhz? as ive found that works most times although not all(in Ku anyway) using my F15 or TM5302HD.

hi - gibertini

tried adjusting last night without success -
managed to separate them this morning -- (third attempt) :)

Acquisition should be about + / - 10MHz so you might find more leeway.

It is a pain when it happens. With the older box taking the plug out for at least ten seconds and trying to store it again does the trick. Its like it has a mini kernel panic.
 
hi nelson got c-band back on tried 46E 3730V is showing 71% quality and five channels two in the clear also 4026V at 64% quality one channel kindom of life showing at the moment old british programs in English.
 
While the C1W is on the 1.8 I've just tried the ESX241 on the 1.2 Gib and managed to lock this one for the first time. The RRsat Promo on 3730V and some god squad nonsense on 4027V.
