My Satellite Setup
HUMAX TN5000HD motorized dish 90 cm
My Location
France
Hello from Turkey ..!

I am temporary resident in Cesme (Izmir) Turkey
Address: Cesme Turkey
Latitude: 38.3031°
Longitude: 26.3697°
Dish 90 cm Goldmaster
DiSEqC 1.2 Motorized H-H Motor SG-2100
Décodeur FTA Goldmaster SAT-330300 FTA


I receive very well – strong signal 80 to 90%
Hotbird (13°E)
Astra (19.2°E)
Badr 4 / Badr 5 / Badr 6 (26°E) …my reference for the south Azimuth (true): 180.6°
Turksat (42°E)

On Eurobird 9A (9.0°E)

I receive very well
11938.00 H TP61 87%
11996.00 V TP64 88%
12092.00 H TP69 76%
12418.00 V TP86 84%

However I cannot receive (signal too weak)
12034.00 V 66 <30%
12245.00 H 77 <30%
Though according to EUROBIRD™ 9A :: 9° EAST :: DOWNLINK COVERAGE
_http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/9e_eb9a_popd.html Eutelsat satellites : EUROBIRD 9A satellite at 9 degrees East
this TP covers my zone at 48dBW

I tried to adjust the LNB skew - azimuth – elevation …no effect … ?

I would appreciate very much your help !

Pleasure to read from you

Regards
 
Not much variation in signal strength on those frequencies here in the East of UK, should be OK too where you are. Can you try a different LNB/receiver?

Hi Llew Thank you very much for your help .

I will purchase a new LNB ...any recommendation ...brand ? Spec ?

Pleasure to read from you
 
LNBs are quite cheap these days, just go for the best low noise one you can afford. Inverto Black Ultra are well thought of.

However, re-checking the frequencies you can/cannot receive doesn't really point to an LNB problem. Check your cable/connections, tight cable bends can play funny tricks with certain frequencies. I would also have suggested DECT phone/WiFi interference, but the problem frequencies don't really fall into those frequency bands as far as I can tell.
 
I have a problem receiving most of the DVB-S2 transponders on 9°E in Helsinki with an 80cm dish, including the two you are missing. I assumed it was down to the FEC used as the DVB-S transponders are quite weak too at around 50-68% quality but they are watchable.
 
To : TIMO Thank you for your observation ...however here near Izmir Turkey the TP 61 - 64 - 69 - 86 are quite strong - signal around 80% ...only TP 66 and 77 are very weak ...I cannot imagine why ?

To : Llew : You are right there is no point to suspect the LNB when TP 61 - 64 - 69 - 86 are well received

No DECT or Wifi at proximity ...beside I receive very well the frequency 12034 MHz V on other satellite such as Hotbird 13°E

I keep searching ...thanks for your help anyway !
 
Does your receiver support DVB-S2? If not you cant watch the DVB-S2 frequencies.
 
To : TIMO and Llew After analysing what Timo wrote about DVB-S2 transponders I realized that only TP transmitting in DVB-S2 are weak ( TP 57 - 58 - 66 - 67 - 68 - 72 - 77 ) ?

Maybe my receiver is not able to receive DVB-S2 ....? I have no information about the DVB-S2 format in the receiver's manual ? Maybe my receiver is suitable only for DVB-S ? Would that be an explanation for the weak signal on DVB-S2 transponders ?
Thank you for your comments
 
DVB-S2 is a new transmission format often used for HDTV. If your receiver is a few years old it wont support it.
 
To AnalogueSat Thank you very much for your message

You are right ...as I mentioned in my previous post I am not sure if my receiver support DVB-S2 ....most probably not !

That could explain the weak signal on transponders transmitting in DVB-S2 format.

I will have to purchase a receiver able handle DVB-S2

Thank you again for your help !

It's odd, according to the official footprint we should be getting similar signal levels but I find the levels vary quite a lot across various transponders. For me the horizontal ones are a lot weaker. Strongest are 50, 54, 56 and 64 at about 68% but the rest are almost 10-20% lower and a lot I can't get at all, even a couple of DVB-S transponders.

Edit: Oops, didn't see the new posts before I replied. A DVB-S2 receiver would help. ;)
 
Thank you very much all ...and sorry for my ignorance !

This topic is closed now Thanks again !
