Digitalb Transponder

kkontour

Hi,
I have a digitalb sub but can get this transponder
11658 H SR 27900 FEC 2/3
I'm in Sligo,
Lyngsat doesn't have a footprint and satBeams shows that beam is for the Indian ocean, but that cant be right.

TD88, motorised with AZBOX

Ive reported this many many times and no one has confirmed it. I can't get it either. Ive a 1.1m dish

So so strange, I get nothing, zero signal ive tried 3 receivers incase one of my receivers was not picking that freq up

Can the signal drop off so much in such a short distance??

Is that transponder on the bird that failed? I think it may be. I know not all transponders failed at the time but the power may be getting weaker. My 88cm may be just too small for my location.
I think the W3B will take its place, it due to launch later this year.
Only thing my sub is up in Janurary and I wont be renewing

Im not getting anything on that freq in Galway either on a 90cm. Nothing at all,same as you snaps

Sir Oxman

I'm getting what redout is getting on that tp but all with 32% SNR

1.1m in Wexford is getting all the channels on that transponder ranging from 30%-36%. Not the best at all. At least they're there though!
Pretty much all the other Digitalb channels (that I checked anyway) are coming in at around 70%.

So it proves how much that signal drops off. Doesn't matter what i do with the dish i cannot even register a signal on that transponder. With the weaker 1 west K1 beam i was able to tweak the dish to bring them in.

I had great difficulty getting this transponder. I have a 1 metre dish and spiderbox HD9000 with v box (Isle of Man).

Eventually had to go in the motor settings on the Spiderbox and tweak the dish with the V box control. Eventually got the channels Film Aksion etc but only at strength of 30% and this can drop of in some weather conditions.

All the other Digitalbs are sound.

Is no-one having any difficulty picking up the transponder that has the channels hd1 hd2 hd3 and natgeo hd. I lost them in January and have never got them back. The frequency is 10975H 27225 2/3. As regards the film channels I can receive them on a good day with a 100cm in the North West. But I cannot get them in any rain.

Just done a scan on this transponder and its come in for me (no pic but the signal is reasonable) at 34%. Channels there are as you indicated HD123 and Nat Geo.

Just scanned on 1.1m dish in cork. I got 8 Channels

Film Drame
Film Aksion
Film Komedi
X1
X2
T
Film Hits
Film Thriller

All on about 51/52% It is a very clear day tho!

The T channel on 11.658 is in the clear eventhough it has the $ sign. 37% with no breakup AzBox 1.1m dish in Dundalk but would probably be marginal in bad weather. Also getting Top Gold Radio.

Only 27% on 10.975.
