Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

[skystar]

"...who is around 200 km westward picks it using 80cm dish...I can't believe that 200 km makes such difference...."

near lake Balaton 1N is much stronger, here in Budapest the Levels are ~ same, in East Hungary (15 km from romanian border)
lock is only with 240 cm, meanwhile the 2D V-polar is receiveable with 120 near 24h

There's a lot of frequencies floating about. Can someone confirm whether it's 11123, 11126, 11127, or anything similar?
I'm trying to key this into my TV Explorer - sometimes i get 86dbuv signal, sometimes I don't...

Official frequency should be 11.127 V but atm blind scans detect it at 11.123 but receivers/boxes lock in - depending on box - up to 10 points of the kernel frequency up and down the scale.

I think the official frequency is 11126.5 according to information from SES, but any of those are usually close enough to get a lock if you can get a signal.

11127v Definatley, see this thread http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/...1/194878-channel-4-hd-1n-28e.html#post1006899

They are all correct - the nominal frequency is just the centre frequency of a block about 20 MHz wide. A receiver will often lock 2, 3 or 4 MHz off the nominal centre frequency. Things can also alter if the the internal oscillator in the lnb drifts a little

Just choose a frequency that your receiver is happy with - FWIW the nominal centre frequency is around 11127.

ok, thanks, I'll have a look.

 

[Pietclock]

Exact data is:

11.127 GHz Vertical

22.000 MBaud

8PSK, FEC 2/3, Pilot ON, Roll-OFF 0.35

netto data rate: 42.58 Mbit/s

this is the only 1N TP right now, 11.144 etc are "ghosts" you get when the tuner's AFC gets mad because the signal is too strong... also remember there might be bad decoupling of polarizations.

I can do increments of .1 MHz, so I just need to know where to center

Ah here we go. Have a look at the picture pietclock put up in post #358. I hope you dont mind me borrowing this pietclock, but it does illustrate rather nicely the idea of the centre frequency and that a tuner will happily lock on 4 or 5 MHz either side. (There are various others very similar but this happened to be the first one I found)

 

[Pietclock]

no problem, everything GNU here ;)

here the info in more detail:
View attachment 44798

there are still those weaker signals around.

BTW dont forget that LNBs Oscilliating frequencies can be slightly off: not exactly 9750MHz but 9748 MHz etc. So also the shown freq. on the receiver will be off.

 

[iggy]

I've tested 3 different boxes and nothing locks in I am disappointed big time. I have a couple more days left to enjoy BBC and ITV. I am devastated, my life turned to ruin..

nice bit of software you have here could tell us the name of it please??

 

[BlindFaith]

hoi,

second transponder on air
11144 v 2/3 22000 dvbs-2 also channel 4 HD
both transponder in the netherlands (frisian) 97% on 120 cm dish

not possible

Looks like you will have to save up for a new big dish.

 

[Huevos]

just reporting from costa blanca javea area using channel master 1.80, 11123 very loud and clear

No need for a 1.8m dish. That signal is robust on the Fibo 90.

1.8m:

 

[puffin]

Hi Puffin,
Maybe because your pace is a SD only box? Just a thought. I'm dying to try out in Stockholm but only have a sky HD box and won't work for me yet apparently.

That could be the problem - at least I hope so.

Will have to wait and see when more trsp start to transmit.

calm down, calm down, its just testing ... could still be your boxes need proper SIDs or they have problems detecting 8PSK (someone in another forum still insists it is QPSK whilst is definitly is 8PSK - maybe his box says wrongly so, maybe try QPSK setting in your boxes?)

We're using Crazycat's Crazyscan software with a PC tuner.

Can't you just go out and enjoy the lovely Polish girls?

Looks like CrazyScan. Works with the TBS 6925 blind scan TV card.
