Hi Experts,

I have a motorized 2.6m dish and 1 supermax ku LMB, 2 C-Band LMBs but could not any signal on Hotbird or Astra. I use srt 4651x receiver. I live in the North Western part of Nigeria. Please can you tell me what to do to get reception. Thank you

Check the footprint for Hot Bird 13E and to your location (search the forum, there are nice pictures). You probably need a bigger dish than 2.6m.
As for Astra, you can forget it. It is mainly for Europe and I would need a big dish in the Middle East (like your dish size).

But what has this post got to do with Showtime ?
This post should be moved to the correct section.

i live in delta state nigeria i used a 3m dish with a fuji ku lnb0.3 db i recive both hotbird and astra in delta you should try it it will work god bless nig and used the patch to open n2 viccess 2.3 cw
 
Which "Astra" do you get okeme ? 19.2E or 28.2E ?

Who is the manufacturer of the dish ?

Is the dish motorised ?

Do you get other european satellites like 30W/7W/26E as well ?

Such posts need a little more precision, so which frequencies do you get from each position ? Are they received all day or only for some hours per day ?
 
my dish is a fieber i made it my self and its a motorised dish it is Astra"19.2E and this as well 30W/7W/26E your lnb must be at absolute center,they received all day. this is the frequencies Premiere Packagen On Astra 19.2e 11720,11798,12032
 
Hi Okeme

Astra 19E have increased footprint on some frequencys
i receive these in cyprus with 80cm(not supposed to)

11739v 27500 3/4
11758v 27500 3/4
11798h 27500 3/4
11876h 27500 3/4
11954h 27500 3/4
11973v 27500 3/4
12032h 27500 3/4

It would be interesting to see if you can receive all these frequencies

Regards

So you get only these 3 from 19.2E ? Even that is a surprise on that small diameter especially when its handmade because your 3m does not perform like a high quality industrial made dish of that size.

Same about 10-15 years ago when there were reports of people being able to pick up the Scandinavian TV3 channels from Astra when all Viasat's programing was broadcasted from that position.

Doubt it that you'll be able to get any of the digital channels though!
