  • DSTV Receiver suitable LNB?

    92501124ea6bc18efa53be.jpgHi,
    I am in Madagascar.
    A friend just returned from Africa bringing with him a DSTV Explora.
    I have a 130cm dish pointed at 36A/B with a Sky Quad LNB with a single outlet plugged into a DM800HD.
    Please can someone help me by suggesting a suitable LNB for this box and how it should be wired in.
    Thanks a million in advance!

  • DST* on 36A E - Dish alignment problem?

    Hello From S.E. Madagascar,


    I have to admit to being a complete beginner. I am trying to get a lock on all the channels within the service MCK on Eutelsat 36 A & B.


    Setup description:


    Dish : 130 cm
    LNB : Quad ku band (Sk*)
    Rcvr 1 : DM800HD (OpenPli 4.0 beta)
    Rcvr 2 : Vigica S70S DVBS2/Android hybrid (Chinese).


    I realised that my dish was not correctly aligned because I was able to watch channels between 11pm and 7am that I could not see during the day on the Vigica but not the DM800HD. In fact the DM800HD could not detect the transponders that I was watching on the Vigica.


    To make sure that my dish was pointing at the right satellite I used a FTA channel TRT Turk (12321 H 23440) to align align the dish to 36A. TRT Turk on the Vigica signal is shown as S 75% Q88% on the DM800HD SNR 71% dB 11.50. BER 0 AGC 99%.


    Now, I can see the channels that I could not see before but cannot see some channels that I was previously watching. Once again the Vigica can detect the transponders for the channels I cannot see whereas the DM800HD cannot.


    Noting that DST* has an FTA channel called DISH (11842 V 27500)showing S69% Q41% whereas undetected by the DM800HD. I am considering realigning the satellite dish using channel DISH as a reference point.


    I must admit to wondering if I need a dual lnb to get all of the channels on A & B.


    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Cccam etiquette preventing resharing

    Hi,


    I have a DM800HD. I want to focus on quality not quantity.


    I am considering using Cccam but am open to using another softcam
    If friend "A" gave me a c-line and asked me not to re-share it.
    and
    My other friends "B,C, & D" are asking me for clines to share my local card.


    How can I share my local card with "B,C & D" without sharing the c-line given by "A"?


    Thanks in advance for you help.
