Can some of you kind gents with motorised systems check 12525.00 V - Tp:14 for reliable reception beam (Germany). All other Tp's from the same beam work fine apart from Tp14.

Puzzling also, after doing a blind scan, my satellite list showed 12525 being HORIZONTAL. Changed it to VERT and can lock but blocking picture..... possible Tp fault I wonder.

Thanks in Advance :)

Cheers Robbo, your more South East than me, might be an issue.

Have a colleague who reported picture break up on this Tp, when I checked I also have the same symptoms. It appears to be an issue on Tp15 also.

All other transponders from the same beam work fine.....:)

Tp15 seems OK as well for me.

I've never really sent the dish there before, but checking the footprint suggests you are correct, i.e better in the SE.

Incidently some of the other transponders on there I can't get at all, like some of the Kabel Deutschland ones. Do you know anything about those?

Robbo, I have no problem receiving those and picture/signal perfect on my technomate : example 11555 H Tp5, spot on and that is a Kabel Deutschland channel.

No problem with picking up other German beams, they seem to come in fine.

Technically, 3A requires a 1 mtr here by the look of flysat, but I can see others but they seem to be in the low band.

Getting even more puzzling now, lol....
:)

---- update

I can receive Tp15 if i nudge the motor a fraction but no Tp14.

If you look at the footprint on flysat for 3A, you can see the footprint differ between Hor & Vert. It's the vert that is not being received.

Yes I can get some of them, but others for example 11635H, I get nothing.
