[QUOTE="ibbsmate, post: 973834, member: 404646"] Sorry for opening this thread after a long time but I've decided to go ahead and experiment with C-band channels in London from the Eutelsat 10A satellite. So now I have a 1.4m satellite dish from Mix Digital, C1 PLL Wideband LNBF, and a Technomate 5402 HD Satellite receiver. So far I've managed to get some channels with strong signals but not the ones I'm really interested in. The reception from the Chinese Mux ([B]3649 L, DVB-S2, 20160-2/3 QPSK)[/B] comes in at about 45% with 12 channels but they're all encrypted. I also get DCLM ([B]3688 R, DVB-S, 2592-3/4)[/B]channel with at about 65% although this channel seems to come on at certain times of the day. The channels I'm interested in are on the Ugandan Mux ([B]3705 R, DVB-S2, 6250-5/6 8PSK) [/B]and the signal quality is about 11%. I've checked with Lyngsat and the C band beam reaches the UK at 40 EIRP dbw and a 1.25m dish should be enough to receive the channels. So my questions are: 1. Why I'm I able to receive some channels on the satellite but not others? Is it because different transponders have different power levels? and if so, do I need a bigger dish or a more powerful Satellite receiver or Tuner. 2. I've already been advised that I need a minimum of a 1.8m dish for C-band but Lyngstat states that I could receive C-band on Eutelsat 10A with 1.25m dish. Should I trust information from websites like Lyngsat? 3. Would a good TV Tuner be more powerful in receiving channels than the tuners that come on Satellite receiver boxes? 4. Do I need a better LNBF? I've ordered a C band LNBF (DMS BSC421) from the US. It's supposed to be one of the best LNBFs in receiving C-band. Thanks [/QUOTE]
