[Likvid]

No not at all,so i have just ordered the SMW LNB X-LINE,as advised by
Likvid,due for delivery this week.could be a busy weekend fitting it.

Did you order just one SMW or the whole kit?

I sell the Smart Titanium LNBs.

They are available as Single, Twin or Quattro.

According to a recent test by a German magazine this is the best LNB on the market right now.

What other products do you sell?

I have been asked by the supplier to indicate which X line LNB i require,there seems to be 5 types,a,b,c,e and g
would you please reply asap which ones i need

 

[Likvid]

Type E

And you need the optional LO +/- 1MHz for both LNBs, then you get the best they have to offer.

You can't get any better LNBs on the market.

I have a few receivers which i have aquired on my travels,
1xSamsung 9500 2ci
1xHumex fta fire
1X ID (Humex) 1 ci
1x SAB 760 2ci (best tuner)
1x Coship 3800 2ci
1x Sony 760 uk digibox
1x Pace 2600 uk digibox
1x Pace 2600 Italian digibox

For the BBC (Astra 2D) I use the SAB as it has the most sensitive tuner,i have never managed to get the Digiboxes working with the large dish,use it mainly for ch 4/5 ect on an 80 cm Fuba Dish.

That's without VAT and shipping

Almost the same prices as i have, not much marginals in this biz i can tell you.

Yes sorry,i bought them through our company,dont think vat,these days as we claim it back,vat at 20%,another 50 euros + delivery 25 euros + a Diseqc
another 40 Euros.Total 360 euros.

 

[dave branson]

Just an other thought about prices,i am shocked sometimes at the prices some suppliers charge.In Holland, from a high street shop a Smart 0.2 LNB
costs 14 Euro,a single output 13Deg/19Deg Monoblock is about 25 euro.
I have seen these advertised on the Net,at sometimes double these prices.
Likvid is right,profit on this equipment is very marginal,but there still seems to be a market for it.

So do I,but its a bit of fun also.
Anyway thanks for all your help,it always informative,let you know when i get all the stuff.

 

[Likvid]

I will take some pics of my setup but i don't have any good camera with high resolution.

 

[dave branson]

Look forward to seeing them.

It seems obvious that the Satellite moves its position,55% quality to 0 in the space 45 minutes tends to confirm to me,that nothing will change untill the
Satellite is repositioned.

Hi Dave and everyone else, interesting thread this one :-)

Dave have you tried any Satellite Tracking software to see if you can compare the satellite position with your reception loss ?? I use NOVA (free demo available at www.nlsa.com) which gets upto date orbit data from Space-Track.org (NORAD data) and you can see in realtime or even fast forward/rewind and show what the orbit is/was/will be doing.

I am not completely convinved that orbit changes are the only reason you loose signal as you will always see some natural diurnal variation in level especially on the fringe due to propogation changes over the average day and year.

Cheers.
