- My Satellite Setup
- 1.1m Dish on Turksat, Triax 88 on Eutelsat 7A, Minidish pointing at Turksat
- My Location
- London, UK
After what has probably been 6 years, I decided to swing my small Sky minidish to Turksat. Last time, there was only 2A and 1C satellites to receive signal from. Having replaced 1C with 3A, Turksat boast better and stronger coverage in the UK, so I was hoping that 3A would offer many more channels that were difficult to pick up previously on 1C, or old Steerable S1 beam channels on 2A such as ATV and Show Turk that were very difficult to pick up - even with the Zone 2 minidish.
The receiver I used was exactly the same, a Humax F1-CI, which measures from 0-100 the signal quality. Nearly all channels are viewable with 30% or above, although results varied. After using 11804V as my beacon, the dish was very quick to pick up good signal.
