Yeah you`re right here - losing alot of customers in diaspora !

I remember years ago we were able to watch Viasat Latvia in Ireland (5e Sirius at that time had a good wide beam) and then they switch to Nordic beam and no chance to have Latvia TV from sat here. (Now I`m paying other country company to have good quality tv and have to use iptv for LV tv...) Don`t know how smart is that for tv provider - to leave behind a lot of people who are interested in they country tv abroad...

I do experienced that myself... And trust me I`m willing to pay for good quality and I prefer sat tv instead of iptv ....

what is the point to use HB with wide coverage and then use local beam ?

wider beam more customers ? no ?

jenseneverest - You`re right safety first

tfrc - Thank you for advice ! Another thing not sure about few old LNB`s I`m using there

(BTW - at first days when I was struggling to get signal away from center I did put this thing reflective panel upside-down I made level better but still no signal and then I checked pictures of the dish other people have and realize that mine is wrong way up - since I made it right I have picture east 42e 70% west 5e - 1w 60% but I will do fine adjustment and will check LNB because 16e was 70% on sat finder meter - now only 45% ....)

Anyway will report back and will do pictures

Thank`s for all good advices !!!

Hello !

kashmir I`m using centaury for dream920 so far no problem - 1 tuner was for motor - 2 tuner for bigsat 8 positions ---

I changed system now 15 in 1 and so far good (at least there is picture - I don`t know how the diseqc impacts on signal quality, have to check) - can`t see any problems... (I need to do some fine adjusting because west sats have weaker signal)

very windy here ....

Hi Pioppo !

Check transponder data you scanning - they changing quite often, also beam might getting weaker

Other reason may be you need re-adjust LNB or dish...

9e Italy should work great !?

kashmir

Hi mate! Bigsat dish is one I have and works fine!

One I trying to setup is T90 now - so I`m setting up second dish at this moment.

That might be a reason I`m not getting a picture at all on corners ? I guess...

I know bubble is not ideal but I did all myself (not a pro... was hard anyway lol)

Remove the dish and measure just the bracket that the dish mounts to. Again this 100 thousand percent MUST be perfectly aligned.

Yeah that was a thing I have in my mind and I need nearly a day to do this ...

I know bubble is not ideal but I did all myself (not a pro... was hard anyway lol)

Maybe some advice better way to adjust east - west positions ?

I did check materials Kashmir kindly provided ! In french language - I used google translator - will read them again but maybe somebody have some experience idea or some method to catch sat positions away from center position... ?

Thanks !

Hello community !

Decent weather and few hours before my working day (I have to work all weekend and until Wednesday... so at next week second part I hope will have more time to do sat dish)

so far I received digital inclinometer which is great tool in this job ! Results are like you suggested center sat 19e and 13e got very good signal above 83%

- so if 13e in center LNB arc does not have enough lenght to cope 42e I decided to place 19e in center all went well 23e signal ok 28e signal ok but I could not get a picture for 39e ;( smth with precision and angles wrong (all numbers as reference from satlex) had no time to check west pointed sat positions...

some pictures ( level and my Cahors setup - in this 16e center and most sat are east 19-23-28-39)

jenseneverest I learned to setup diseqc from forums myself :) lol but you know there is different type systems - mine is with this centauri 16/1 diseqc and works fine with these configs.

BTW the first picture you have configs I use for motorised system setup....

Hi Kashmir !

I have another dish for 30w so I`m fine with Hispasat....

To be honest because motor failed and cahors bigsat (I have one and I`m telling that is very easy to setup - had no problems with that!) but problem is if I have 16e in center (I`m about cahors bigsat) you loosing some strenght for 13e and opposite - because just no room for both LNB even if I have slim LNB ! I want to make a little better - that is reason I`m trying WF T90

Kashmir you parle français - I found this very useful :

https://forum.telesatellite.com/showthread.php/3628-WAVE-FRONTIER-Réglage?highlight=WaveFrontier

I understood and you said yourself that I can place 13e HB in the center where arc is 0 and get signal (for example in the topic the man had 19e in the center)

(I just trying to understand the best steps to do at next attempt adjusting WF ;) lol )

And Merci Kashmir !

JO Grazie mille! You have 13e right in the center ? 0 on arc correct ?

pioppo

You right with diseqc mode that is 1.1

but you give number to LNB like 19e LNB 1 and then diseqc command input 1

then hotbird LNB 2 diseqc command input 2

then Thor LNB 3 diseqc command input 3

refers to which input your LNB is connected

p.s. in pics different numbers like ones I gave for examples....

Ah yes I`m in Ireland 40km from Dublin - Maynooth

kashmir Merci beaucoup ! I will study the discussion you provided - pictures there very professional - I have that diseqc centauri .

tfrc you right Turksat is like 28e in Ireland plenty of tv! In Ireland only west beam is possible so few transponders - but still why not...

Thank You for advice !

few things :

1 : I will get a tool and will adjust proper elevation like satlex says 26degrees for central sat which I want to be 13e HB

2 : Then I will make skew adjustment by tilting the antenna 11.9° to East which is exactly 101.9° on the scale - I know that`s the one right-left rotation

I hope I will get at least something for a start

And will do some pictures.

tfrc may I ask you what is you location ? UK ? 42e is not a big loss anyway... elevation 40? Thanks you for pictures !

kashmir : toroidals are set much lower than the classic parabolas - Thx I just need to confirm these things.

hiya ! I`m not a professional sat installer - doing this for sports ;) I like so far but sometimes it goes very tricky - like this one

you right I was sure no problem with main positions - but no success this time - so I think I will ask some advice and I need at least proper elevation measure - so far I was doing with phone app... but that`s not accurate - on paper elevation for my location 26degrees with tool I will be sure about elevation at least - lol

(with normal dish usually I get signal)

I have sat finder that works ok - digital sd and hd - bought last year

yeah I`ll be happy to have 42-39-28-23-19-16-13-9-4.8-1.9-1w-5w

I will post pics next time and hope with community help I will get solutions to problem!

Meanwhile I have another dish which provide me with some tv and no pressure... Tool arriving Tuesday - so some day next week I will get my ladder out again

Thanks Jensen for manual - they are ok for hardware... but problem actually starts when smth is not going as smooth as on paper :)

Problem here for me is how to actually start to get signal - I`m waiting for Inclinometer now that might be a problem ... I did things like with ordinary dish but did not got signal not even from strong sat positions like 19e or 13e

Hello Kashmir !

Thanks you for helping me !

Tell me please is that correct and possible to place LNB for 13e in the centre of arc scale 0 for example and to get HB signal right in the central position ? Or I have to do this somehow differently?

I checked manual - helpful but few things I have no elevation scale I bought Inclinometer will be delivered Tuesday ;)

May I ask you are you in Europe and what is elevation angle for your dish ?

For me 26degree going very low - actually one of support arms touching the mast...
