Thanks to both of you. I'm away now for +/- 2 weeks and then I'll continue.

Thanks stocksie. I'm at 28.2 East Longitude and 26.2 South Latitude. The reference for this dish was and is the Badr-C (Arabsat) because that is nearly the same Longitude as my place. My question is now should I do that adjustment (set square) when the dish "looking" to true North (zero) or to...

Robbo71 I understand that, when you have a normal LNB. Here the whole LNB is turned and remains in that position, as the dish remains always at the same position as well. The feedhorn is fixed to the dish and moves (turns) as the dish moves and the skew setting is then obviously different for...

Hi, may I post 2 threads here, regarding one item: LNB skew setting? When I read lungsat or SATCOdx settings, they are for Dishes/LNBs situated in the northern hemisphere. And the Skew setting for the LNB? They have none but with digging around I discovered exactly opposing answers. With the...

Thanks Robo, yes I tried, no success. And someone pointed me now to the SMPSU (switched mode power supply) of the Fortec. There is some truth in it, as the voltage supply (23VDC) to the tuner/LNB has also some interference on top of the 23V and with different smoothing capacitors, I can...

I have several AV sources in my home: 2 SAT receivers, 2 VCR's, and a DVD/VCR. All have programmable UHF modulators (PAL - I) from 21 to 68 . All outputs are "in series" (UHF in-out) via an RG6 cable and then passed on to the 3 TV's. Now between one used channel and the next I programmed the...

A friend of mine prurchased a Metabox CA3 a dish, offset one meter, a universal LNB with H and V via supply voltages a motor for positioning the dish. Now as he has never worked with any satellite equipment and the manuals on motor and receiver are really (according to him) bad, I want to ask...

thanks renibacterium. Any practical experience? Is it for a stationary dish or motorized (skew?) dish, could I connect onto each LNB a separate receiver, e.i. not using the DiSEqC switch?

I read, there is a feedhorn with flanched-on LNBs for C- & Ku Band available, type (DB) S621-2. Anybody any practical experience with it? C-Band LNB has no noise figure given, only gain (65dB, normal). Ku-Band LNB: noise 0.3 dB, not bad, gain? Change-over via DiSEqC 2x1 (what does 2x1 mean?)...

Hi, I was for quite some time not here. Now as I'm back in South Africa, someone ask me to motorize his 1 m offset dish. Never seen one and that's why I want to know, is that possible at all? Just with a disec motor? :confused: Regards nopfusch

Sharing cards, google to Smartwii and have a look what that little device can do. Regards nopfusch

A friend of mine bought a Fortecstar 5600II in August 2007. He had up to then 3 SAT-receivers, now 4. All Sat receivers are digital and connected together at the UHF output with 2 VCR's outputs. I set him these VCR's and SAT-receivers up, as he had before problems of not having enough space...

great job, Llew Only if one has done this job , knows what patience is required. I talk from experience ... May I send you a receiver.............??????????? Just joking, keep well nopfusch

thanks toppervte33h I discovered at Kathrein and Hirschmann receivers another measurement unit in µV (micro Volt). See the reply below - very fast reply, questioned Sunday evening, very good Steffen & Hirschmann, thanks. > die Umrechnung lautet: the conversion is: > 1 dbµV = -109 dbm > 0 dbm...

He, why is sudden silence around here? I’m busy to collect the tuner spec’s from the receiver mentioned in this thread. But for some I don’t find even the webb address. So please send me the web address from ‘your’ receiver, if you want to know the input sensitivity of the tuner in your...
