@analoguesat:
Hi! Here's my daunting reception report from Bolzano, Northern Italy: 0% SQ reception from 2F so far! Not done any tweaking yet! Strong and stable signal from 1N though!
Equipment: Visiosat BIG-BISAT multibeam (90/70cm); MTI Highline Twin LNB 0.2 dB
Let's hope for better... :-crying

Thats interesting as theres a successful report from not too far away western Austria on a 1m dish Have a look at the map Ive produced. Your dish may need tweaking up a bit.

The rebroadcasters in the Costa Blanca area started streaming TV from the UK, then rebroadcasting it, this is how they will get round it. I think

i observed the TP for 90 minutes additional to my last report diagram



unfortunately i must leave the house for some hours. It will be a surprise to see how strong (weak) the signal is in the evening for me

I think that Analoguesat' map is pretty revealing. It clearly shows that this spot beam i not so much a spot but instead is a long thin ellipse.

Never been able to get BBC1 South before - 10817V. Can now.

Well thats not a surprise really - think of a torch beam, and remember 28E is well east of us so its beaming in on a slant..

Point the torch at your feet and its more or less a circle of light. Point it 20 feet in front of you and you get an ellipse

 

[gonzobaby]

before i go out of the house, what is about the 11095H ? has anyone reported it already ?
looks like a new UK-Spotbeam for me.

i will read your answers later when im back at home.

This evening Im going to modify the green successful reception blobs on the map. Im going to change the colours according to this pattern.

Dish size:

up to 1m --> stays green
1m - 1.49m --> pale blue
1.5 - 1.99m --> yellow
2m - 2.49 --> purple
2.5 and above --> purply- red



the "reception failed" reports will stay red with no internal black dot.

Nothing on 11095 H here may be a ghost signal from another dish or something close by your end?

Yes I know that - but what I was trying to say is that this beam even seems to even start off as an ellipse rather than a spot so when it hits the ground its shape is much more elongated than normal. Badly put I admit - sorry.

map updated with the reports up to now

There is only 1 thing on that map that has me completely baffled. How the hell is it working in Crete?

It all looks very correct apart from 1 or 2 faulty reports where I guess someone is inputting wrong parameters but that Heraklion one has me baffled.

We did have it locked in Tenerife as did trigger in Lanzarote but it wouldn't work. No picture. -1.5db it was showing. We need +3db minimum and that's the very very minimum.

Maybe just maybe dish size 300cm ( click on it )

absolutely nothing

 

[andrewcrawford]

i think we also need addiotnal information when users reports singals with the other things i posted earlier, signal lock - , able to view channels - description of view

edit the reason i say these is because we are getitng some dubious result whichb might be there only gettinga signal but no lock, but other witht eh same dish size in the same area might be seeing it signal but no lock cant view channels so nothing it all in how we all communicate i am prim exam-ple of being bad, to accuratle work out the beam we need mroe information form each report

well the pirate trans mitter is some 2km above me in the forest (in a horse stable) has one single cable going to it (electric) dont think its got telephone

 

[skomedal]

Very good point Andrew :-rub

The thought had crossed my mind also is it signal lock OR viewable reception?

Regards

Ps. 11023h sig 57 qual 0 central southern norway 120cm 0.3 lnb hummy 2000hd so no lock :-crying

Or manky red

 

[gonzobaby]

the signal on 11095H is gone here. Maybe it was a reflection from wherever...
