Reception of Badr4 (26E)

I have Saudi Sports on 12015 V 27500, loud and clear.
 
Badr-4 @ 26 east 12149 H 30000 Saudi Sports still no signal here on my 100cm has this transponder moved to Badr 5 or 6 ?
Badr 4 still, but has the worst dB value, and a tough FEC of 5/6.

Thanks for the replies I can get 12015 V but not the package on 12149 H 30000 ?

DVDream gets nothing on 12149H .A blind scan gets it at 5.7dB.
Edit I should read posts properly.I get 12015V fine.:)

Definitely something going on here, managed to get a lock on all BADR4 frequencies, but a couple are well down on normal figures, namely 12111H & 12149H, also had to mess with the USALS settings to get it peaked properly, don't normally have to! CrazyScan below:

Just an update on this. After a sobering chat with a local installer about how much it would cost to start from scratch, I sat down this evening and checked all satellite postitions again and, once again, more or less all were as they should be however I found out that nudging west made a big difference to some feeds on 10E so decided to repeat this on 26E and its back. The motor definitely does have a huge amount of backlash though - on the MBC transponders for instance, driving to it from the west results in 86% signal quality; driving from the east results in 56% quality! The motor's given me nearly 3 years faithful service to am wondering do I stick with it now and see if shifting positions fixes it or bite the bullet and go for a replacement motor and install - its far too high for me to deal with myself sadly :(
 
I found the same thing with most motorised equipment. Everything from DiSEqC motors to Jaeger 1224 to jack arms. Not quite the massive margin you seem to have but a few SNR percentage points at least
 
Also don't forget even stable satellites do drift very slightly, to get the best from my setup i have to very slightly adjust every time the dish goes to a different position, try it you will be surprised what you can pick up.

The AZBox & Spiderbox give a more accurate signal readings when compared to the false elevated readings from the TM's.
 
To the south, very good sign.

Thanks for the info.

Clear now maintain levels.
12740 H 2200 very unstable, jump 50dB to 46dB all the time.

SR bass note and the antenna is small.
The FSS beam is very real

I checked those readings on my M3 yesterday and all average between 11db and 12.5db obviously using a larger dish with a Twin Black Ultra

Using Patch 117p on the M3 as this appears to give a more accurate reading than any others

all average between 11db and 12.5db obviously using a larger dish.... i also get some frequency's which are out of your reach which average around 5-7db
Of course, bigger dish-better reception. Could you publish list of frequencies and levels you got? And lager dish you use means...?:rolleyes:
