Hi,
I have been given one of these "flat" dish and using a dreambox 500+ to try to grab the swedish channels on Thor 5 0.8W T2.
According to http://www.flysat.com/1west-beam.php it is sufficient with a 50??
I used http://www.dishpointer.com/ to get some info and got:
Latitude: 36.5435°
Longitude: -4.6259°
Name: .8W Thor 3, 5 | Eutelsat 2-F4 (incl. 6.9°)
Distance: 37250km
Elevation: 47.4°
Azimuth (true): 173.6°
Azimuth (magn.): 175.7°
LNB Skew [?]: -5.2°
I get
SNR 64%
AGC 10-30%
BER 0
so no lock or sync
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cedric
 
Have you attempted to fine tune the alignment using the signal meter of the receiver? Which transponder frequency were you looking at to get those results?
 
Today the satfind is giving 64% SNR, 70% AGC but still no lock or sync...
I have entered manually Thor 5, and a bunch of transponders starting from 11216 V 24500 (found at kingofsat.net). I get an error with blindscan "no transponder for (LOF/H vertical)"
