uk bbc channels normally on 28.2 on intelsat 907 27.5w ?

[digi247]

Thanks for that ..

Apologies it appears the Info i was told is wrong i have just been informed by another user with a TM6900 that it is still operational, the Info i was informed by a DrHD F15 user, I cannot check myself as my Motorised is out of action for the forseeable future due to a little mishap LOL

Yes I've also read reports on other forums they've encrypted the PMT and Linux E2 machines get confused about it. Somewhere up in this thread it's been said this might happen sooner or later ...

Can confirm the Technomate is still opening them

Cheers

And another update the DR HD F15 is clearing these again today maybe someone with a Linux receiver could try just in case they work as well

yes they do !! They're back ....

That means PMT isn't encypred for the moment. Linux boxes only open them when this happens.

Hi new to the forum, I just wanted to know if anybody has any EPG information with BBC-SATBACK as I don't. Any help welcome.

 

[Hixxy1]

Hi and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately these channels don't carry EPG info.

Thanks for the quick answer, I suppose I was hoping for to much from these channels.

I'm pushing my luck now, another question, can you or anybody recommend any other decoders to handle BBC-SATBACK the main criteria's are 'cheap' and 'reliable'.

 

[Hixxy1]

If you plan to watch these channels fairly often, I've been told that the Technomate 5402 or Dr HD receivers are the ones to go for. One of the reasons is these channels periodically encrypt the PMT which stops pretty much all receivers from opening the channels. Whereas these two specific receivers can handle the PMT.

Just remember if & when illicit reception of these channels goes mainstream the Beeb will almost certainly encrypt them properly & everyone will lose them.

Well I have just acquired a Technomate 5402 HD M2 and am trying to pull this in using a 1m dish but I cannot even find the bird. I keep finding Hispasat at 30W. I am sure I have read reports from the Canaries that the BBC package is being received a on a 1m dish. Can anyone confirm please. BTW - the LNB is an Inverto Black Ultra . Thanks.

Looks like your right on the edge of the footprint for reception

1.2 metre definately in East of canaries. 1.1 not yet tried but may be marginal.
Currently using 1.35 tecatel (1.35x1.25) and getting near enough 80% quality showing on tm5402.

A 1M should just about do it. I get It here on a 1.1 that's on a motor. What are you using to try and find it? Once you have found Hispasat then adjust your skew as best as poss then its left a bit & up a bit and you should find it - hopefully

Looks like my dish may be marginal, but I do have a good LNB.

I have a basic sat finder with a needle gauge and tone which changes pitch with signal strength. I have printed information off from dishpointer; according to them the parameters are very similar::

HISPASAT INTELSAT 907
Elevation 53.9 Elevation 55.0
Skew 25.2 Skew 21.4

and only 2.5 degrees difference in the azimuth.

I have never aligned a dish before and with these very small differences I am not sure how to proceed.

As you've found Hispasat, optimise reception on that, then adjust towards 27.5W by nudging tiny amounts in Azimuth only - the Elevation difference shouldn't be too critical at this stage. When you are satisfied that you have got the correct Azimuth, lock it off. Only then pay attention to raising the Elevation slightly. Finally, twiddle with skew (If really necessary)

ie Don't try to engage in three-dimensional adjustment - do it one step at a time, majoring on Azimuth.

_{hello am in tenerife and was using a 1 metre dish ,black ultra lnb and tm 5402.}
_{now using 1.2 metre dish.first of all i found hispasat with a sat metre,then selected}
_{advanced search on the tm box for 27.5 west ,select the transponder and watch the signal bars}
_{on advanced search.i marked the pole and dish first on hispasat and flexed the dish up,}
_{and the signal came in for the bbc package.the line on the dish and pole for hispasat are still in line,}
_{so must be very close.hope this helps.}

So just to clarify
1/Lock on Hispasat using meter.
2/Display BBC t/p on Technomate (will show <10% quality and high signal (false) but both in red.
3/Tweak ELEVATION watching Technomate display optimising quality

Is that right.

BTW why did you change the dish?

Thanks for the help.

 

[jacko]

_{yes thats correct blue platinum.}
_{the 1 metre dish i had would lock onto the signal 95 percent of the time.}
_{the 1.2 metre dish 100 percent.}
