johnsatuk, Thanks for the reply. I entirely agree with you. I am from south India, 74.51E, 12.45N. There is a part of my question which I might have put wrongly/misleadingly. What I mean is: suppose I give you a 90cm offset dish. Is there anyway you can get to know the offset angle? Thanks again.

johnsattuk, Thanks. I think I am beginning to understand: the point is not to get confused between the "apparent" angle (the angle the dish may appear to be looking at) and the "actual" angle. By the way, do we have any method whereby we can measure the offset angle of a dish -- the...

Thanks for the reply Stu. Rolf, I dont care where and how my dish is facing if only I can receive signals from Telstar-18. From where I live, the Elevation firgure for this satellite is 21 degrees. Now, assuming that the offset angle of my dish is 24 degrees, my dish would have to be looking...

Hi, Most Ku Band dishes have an offset angle ranging between 20-24 degrees -- which means that even when the dish is vertical with reference to ground (90 degrees to ground), the LNB would be receiving at aroung 20-24 degrees. What do we do if we want to point this setup towards a satellite at...

There are a few hotties on the Telstar 18 sat encrypted with viaccess 2.5. Any chance of viewing these channels as "hobbiests"?

Notorious Jatt, I have been searching heaven and hell. No solution yet. Let me know if get it.

Why does not the site accept my log-in? I have to log in several times before it says "Welcome, Begarkitta". Any technical problem?

Thanks bokya, Signal level is OK but those arabic and persian channels are useless. thank you very much for helping me. keep posting.

Bokya, Sorry for replying so late. I was away. There is really some confusion about LMI-1 Ku band footprint. The earlier map does indeed cover India. But the later ones (check SatcoDx) do not. In any case I do not receive Ku band from this Sat (in Bangalore). Anyway, I shall try again...

Bokya, I am waiting for your reply:D :D :D

Bokya, Thanks for your reply. But really, I am intrigued. Neither Satcodx nor Lyngsat show LMI-1 with Ku band footprint anywhere over India (excepting, of course, extrem northern fringe of Kashmir). Are you sure you can catch LMI-1 with 120 cm dish? I look forward to your adivce.

Bokya, Analoguesat, LMI-1 northern beam does not bless me with ample footprint area (I live in south India). How is it then that you (Bokya) get hot channels from this sat?

Hai Bokya, More information about this LM-1 channel please!

Thanks for the clarification.

In Lyngsat and satcoDX listings I often come across the word "feeds?" Feeds of what? Are they video feeds? If so, why dont they have a regular channel name (such as BBC etc.) Sorry, I do not know to which forum this post should go. Please display. Many thanks.
