Zaphod

Hellasat 39E would be the easiest for reception in Ireland.

watty

Hellasat (Greek and Cypriot)
I get a bunch of channels fine near Limerick on 80cm dish @ 39E

The one below needs C-Band
Satellite: Thaicom3
Localization: 13° East
Polarity: Horizontal
Frequency: 3551 MHz
Symbol rate: 13.333 MSps
FEC: 3/4

Smeagol

Localization: 13° East

No, it's 78.5°e
Herr Dish got mixed up.

The one below needs C-Band ... Frequency: 3551 MHz

Obviously.

Tomorrow I'll try my new LNBF on my CM dish
Any chance I can pick up the Intelsat 907 with 180cm?
Never been on C-Band before.:o

Zaphod

No chance with I907 for that TP, it's footprint is over South America.

Smeagol

Stupid me, I just checked the footprint on lyngsat (also on Dr.Dish site)
Btw. what would be the easiest C-Band bird be to pick up here in nw ireland?
Is AB3 5°w a good bet to start with?

Zaphod

Analog + digital on 26E and you don't need a dielectric plate either as they are H/V.

Smeagol

I could have easily turned the Lnb, but Arabsat is even better.:)
Gotta leave. Will let you know how I was getting on.

Smeagol

First C-band test today. Great success. Started on analogue, very easy to locate Arabsat. Then digital. Next will be 1°w + 5°w.
Thanks Zaphod.

Ronan|Raven

*green with envy!*

As of next week itll be no more sat for me, moving plant to new zealand, until I get a house there will be intersting to see what the world of satellite is like there!

Zaphod

No farty little 90cm dishes on the Australasian scene. 3M or bust!

Ronan|Raven

Hehe aye, proper size dishes!

watty

But no more Astra 28, Astra19 or Hotbird13 or Telstar 12 :-)

Have a good trip.

byte

Hopefully you'll get setup in NZ Ronan, and give us the lowdown on channel-availability in NZ!

Ronan|Raven

Shame im leaving the dreambox behind!

watty

Er... you don't need anyone to mind it? Walkies, feeding grooming etc?

Ronan|Raven

hehe No it has to stay here as the old fella needs his football at all times! Forwarded the ports for it to my external IP so can manage it from NZ.

Smeagol

Seems as they were still alive, just found that on their website:

Reception on HotBird 13° East, 11.304, Hor., 27.500, 3/4, Channel ID: ChallengerTV

Zaphod

Looks like they plan to move eventually to a different TP:
