Cant lock onto 7e very well.

    Trying to catch the 7e sats using my multisat dish.


    I have a 1m Triax with 4 Lnbs, one is focused on 23e, the other two on 19e and 13e. Getting strong signals on all freqs, average around 70%. Living in Co Roscommon.

    Tried using my 4th lnb to focus on 7e, but im only getting around 15 channels. THe strongest channel seems to be Persiantoons coming in around 45% signal strength.

    Ive tried adjusting my dish to no avail, am I doing something wrong or is there something else I can try?

    Thanks.

    I only counted 5 tv channels on lyngsat (apart from feeds) on the europe 'a' beam which would be the strongest in ireland.

    The other 2 europe beams are not near as strong and europe 'c' drops off a lot over Ireland

    I used to get nearly all the beams on a 1.1m motorised dish in dublin but you are a bit further west and 7e isn't the prime focus satellite on your dish so maybe thats the problem.

    Its a very weak bird in the west. Same as what's being said, no major problems on a 1.1m motorised, but i remember setting up an 80cm for a customer a few years back and it was marginal (On my meter around 7db, compared to say astra 2 at 28 east which came in around 18db on same dish).

    The SD channels came in ok, but HD were prone to breakup.

    I also set up a 94cm focused on 13east, the offset LNB for 7east was no good. In the end, i focused the offset lnb for 9east which is strong.
