Es'hail 2 25.8°E channels

Yes, that's too bad for the shipping so expensive, but even with this converter I'm not sure that I can tune 10492 MHz

Keep in mind that you also need to modify it.
I had someone do that for me.

This is from an article explaining the modification:

Finally got it. ( From Edision OS mini 4K tuner mod )
Thanks for all members for helping me, especially @stel883_ !

Can you also tell us what exactly was the mod?
Which LNB did you use?
 
Since the Zinwell SUP2400 (other versions exist) is simply a 1.4GHz upconverter, it should be possible for a manufacturer to adapt one of their combo receiver designs to receive DVB-S/S2 signals directly from the terrestrial/CATV tuner port.

Lnb is a Megasat Diavolo

You just have to remplaced avl6261.ko in /lib/modules/5.15.0/extra/ :

Advice Needed - Receivers with the lowest Symbol Rate?

Copy the driver to this location (don't forget to set file permissions 755!), first rename the original driver to keep it. The "e2_changes_20231223.diff" must be recompiled with enigma after patching.

Thought I'd give this one a go after a long while. There's the neighbour's tree slightly in the way but still have reception.

Measured on Dr HD F16 and on V8 UHD, which oddly gave good signal on 10730H.

I suspect with the tree not being in the way and potentially some more tinkering with the LNB position, I could squeeze some unlockable transponders into lock.

To get the best signal from the living room, I had to marginally adjust azimuth and declination for each TP. It's all very touch and go.

@Captain Jack nice job, it's impressive to get these frequencies so far ! Dish is 1.8m ?

10.730H locks here and puts a channel ID in the list and occasional picture...26E.webp26.1.webp
 
Needed a bit of dish attention to get stable reception - slight up and down signal strength. 2.2m PF Central UK.

Just 1 question:what does "strength at 93%" and "Quality at 38%",or sometimes even less,mean?
Is it a sign of the need of improvement of reception? Or just a weak reception,then why such great strength?
 
Captain Jack said:
Quality is how "clean" your signal is - the important one. Strength is how strong the signal is (noise and all) coming down the cable - it's usually safe to ignore this.

Thank you Captain Jack. When propagation weakens (as with 28E in April) ,quality weakens,ending with a "jumpy" signal ,amplitude of jumps being down to a 15 to 35% quality level. I wonder what causes the jumpiness & how to remediate this. Strength remains very high.

That's what happens on the digital cliff-edge. Depending on the tuner and how it reports the signal quality. Most tuners don't show anything until the lock itself, so it looks like it's jumping.
 
Captain Jack, what is the coverage beam for this satellite based on your location. I find it interesting that you have created reception with a 1.8m antenna from England.
