- My Satellite Setup
- 0.3dB Fortec Star lnb, 90cm Fortec Star dish, Silver Crest SL65 receiver, Stab HH90 motor...
- My Location
- Bedford
Well I've had another play with my setup. I want to 'see' where the various sats are before I mount the dish on the house to make sure I've got it in the right place for a future motor upgrade.
Anyway last time I treid it I got a signal on Astra 28E along with reception of the usual stuff, BBC Channels, Horror Channel.... and Shopping channels
I then thought I'd put the receiver onto Astra 19E and try tuning that in to get a feel for the amount of movement the dish needs. As soon as did that *without touching the dish* I got 64%+ signal and 70+% quality on an Astra 19E channel.
But no picture. As soon as I moved the dish of course I lost it.
Is it possible to receive 19 and 28E with my setup with the dish in the same place??
BTW I'd even made myself a little 'protractor' on a bit of card with the angles of the sats on so I could see where they were in relation to 28E which I seem to pick up without even trying!
Thanks for any pointers :-googly
