    Eutelsat 9b italia beam

    Left it on that transponder overnight, highest SNR being 8.8dB. 0.55dB away from locking. Maybe one day I'll be lucky.

    Eutelsat 9b italia beam

    I was really hoping to get the nordic beam with my 1.5m Gibby in Suffolk, UK. But no luck :( Need a 1.8-2m I guess. It surprises me, as 48dBW on the map isn't *that* far from the UK coast.

    Gibertini 1.5m ground stand

    To be honest I would be happy just to buy your NPGM from you and see what happens :-rofl2 Shouldn't be too bad if I get some nice heavy slabs. If it doesn't work then c'est la vie, I'll just have to spend more than I wanted to. I'll have to see about collecting it from you, not sure when I'll...

    Gibertini 1.5m ground stand

    A few things I should have mentioned: The whole thing including mounting needs to be put away out of sight when not needed Mounting disassembled and put in the garage taking up as least space as possible. So ideally the most lightweight I can get away with without it moving when there's the...

    Gibertini 1.5m ground stand

    I'm afraid I'm not able to collect which is a shame as that looked pretty much perfect. Need something delivered, ideally £80-100 or less (if possible?!) as I've already spent enough on this dish :D

    Gibertini 1.5m ground stand

    Well, it's only going to be outside maybe 10x a year for a few days each time (mainly summer) and the rest of its life sitting inside my garage so it's going to have an extremely easy life. Not really a high wind area, not going to be sheltered though.

    Gibertini 1.5m ground stand

    Can anyone recommend a non-penetrating ground stand for a Gibertini 1.5m I have just ordered? As cheap as possible whilst still managing to stay upright, please! :D

    Lnb problem?

    It was the LNB, all fixed now :)

    Lnb problem?

    Yup I'm using a TBS card. I really hope it's the LNB and not the card! Not cheap to replace the card! Is there a different LNB you recommend? Sounds like it's quite common then!

    Lnb problem?

    All of a sudden a few days ago I noticed low signal on some vertical polarization transponders. This screengrab shows everything just drops around 11700V. It's the same on all satellites. Would this indicate that my LNB is dying? It's an Inverto Black Ultra Twin and I'd guess it's around 2 years...

    MTV EMAs 2018

    I had to move my dish to 11.8.W to lock signal on the 4K channel.... Very strange.

    No but it came with a voucher for one :D

    TBS card caught fire!

    New card is installed, yay! :D Happyyyy!!! I noticed that TBS have changed the box it's in. This card came in a slighter larger but flatter box with no drivers mini cd, instead there was a sticker on the box telling you to go to their website to download drivers.
