[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1075929, member: 178786"] I looked through the past topics in the C-Band section for a 45.0W topic but could not find one? If there is a dedicated 45.0W topic would a moderator please merge this topic into the other existing topic? In the past, 45.0W in C-Band has been difficult to receive in the UK and Europe. However, since around January this year the Revival Channel has been broadcasting on the Europe/Africa beam which should be receivable in the UK. I thought I would give this one a go to see if I could get a lock on the signal. No such luck I am afraid, I was getting ~ 3.5 dB with a Dr HD F15 receiver and ~3.2 dB with a TBS 5925 USB2 tuner connected to a laptop running EBS Pro. The Revival Channel is on 3902 H, SR 1410, FEC 3/4 DVB-S2 QPSK and needs around 4.0 dB for a lock. I am not convinced I have the dish and feed arrangement optimised so I may try some adjustments to the feed and scalar setup and one or two alternative LNB's. I think that one or two other forum members have been successful in locking the Revival Channel and their results are probably in other topics in the C-Band section? For what it's worth I have pasted a couple of pictures below from my paltry effort to lock a C-Band signal from the satellite. I did manage a few data transponders but the local kids are picking these up with bin lids. . [ATTACH type="full"]125982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]125983[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
