No the dish is in one piece

Hi all, Thankx for ur msg. Well as i explain previously, i got the dish from someone who's now out of the country and it came without feedhorn. I used a 40mm LNB and I have been told using a matching feedhorn will help. The guy from whom i got it told me it's a channelmaster and measurement are...

Hey BigTee, Wassup? I am looking for a 4m fiberglass dish. Can your friend help? I need it for testing in Cotonou Cheers. aldac

Hi, Supersport sa is also on a west africa beam (eutelsatw4@36°E) that covers up the northern part of burkina faso. signal still very powerfull there with a 90cm so maybe you should give it a trial with a big dish (i.e. 2.4m). Use 12476/h/26040 when testing. goodluck aldac

Hi all, It's true that in terms of number of channels we are very limited here but if you can get that 2.4m, it will help you a lot since there's a lot of possibilities in your area. Concerning the receivers, any mpeg2/dvb satndard will do (i.e.Humax, strong, echostar ...u name it!) With a 60 or...

ok, i will try. tkx.

The feedhorn i used was provided with the inVacom c120 0.3dB, it was in a whitish box. i just had to fix them together with the provided screws.it cost me a fortune and it didn't really work on my dish)(-red !!!

Thankx Lancelot but the point is I have tried a c120 invacom on my dish and i couldn't get any better signal (i tried it on eurobird2*25.8E*). I am curently trying to lock up Nilesat 101&102 *7w(i am in Ghana-west africa)and can hardly get anything above 40% signal strenght on both...

Hi Rolfw, Can a c120 feedhorn get me more signal strenght than a regular universal LNB with integrated feedhorn??

my dish is a channel master of 2.7m but i don't know the exact model since i got it second hand. I am using LNB'S with integrated feedhorns but i believe i am not getting the best signal since these LNB'S are made for smaller offset dishes if am not wrong. I remember reading on this forum some...

Hi all, Please what is the ideal feedhorn clamp to match my 2.7m offset dish and where can I get it? I have tried different 40mm LNB (Invacom,Inverto,Fuji u name it !) but signal strengh still below my expectations...Any hints guys??? Thankx for your help. al.

hi there, it's really strange...why don't you perform a factory reset and reprogram. Sometimes it's as simple as that. gudluck!

Hi Divibi, To built my dishes I use 2 technics: the easiest way is the fiberglass made dishes mould from an original offset dish. The ones I prefer are Andrews or Prodelin. From the original dish, i prepare a mould using polyester and fiberglass+cobalt etc...if you don't have a little knowledge...

Hi, I built my 4.2m and it's a solid prime focus dish made of aluminium sheets (reflectors) and iron (rims, mounts and other parts). I would post the pictures later during the week end. I also have self built 2.4 offset dishes made of fiberglass. They were copied from an original channel master...

Hi all, Thankx for your msgs. I persued searching Nilesat signals (11747/H/27500) with skew @ 0 but couldn't get any signal.However i was able to get Hispasat @30W. Only few frequences came:12226 V 27500, 12303 V 27500 and 12380 V which was the strongest signal. Tests were carried out from 7pm...
