This is for those docked on 72.1E I need some help, can't seem to lock on any of the two Transponders (3724 L 16073 and 3742 L 13930) even with the Teflon inserted. Mates kindly assist, any special settings to input on the STB .

CC GIDEN and Wessly.

For now I have after I upgraded from 1.8 to 2.4m. Soap opera in English.
Telenovella @69%
GMA @85%
Bwana vicwa do you live in epicentre of ap*. How come you can get this? I have tried a million times with 2.4 pf & can't manage. Yenyewe wewe ni gwiji.

Adjust dish stand so that it can be vertical upright (90 degrees) also lnb holder must be almost parallel to the dish.

HOW TO FIND LENGTH OF LNB ARM OF A PRIME FOCUS
D = Diametre
F = Focal length (length from centre of dish to the LNB)
d = Depth (of the dish)
D x D = F
16 x d

R = Radius of dish
r = Radius of LNB holder
L = Length of LNB arm
R – r = R1
F – d = H
(R1 x R1) + (H x H) = L squared
L = square root of L squaed

For example, a 6ft(72inches) prime focus dish has a depth of 1ft(12 inches)
The radius of dish = 36 inches , and of lnb holder = 3.25 inches. Calculate :
A. Focal length
B. Length of lnb arm
D = 72
F = ?
d = 12

D x D = F
16 x d
72 x 72 = 27
16 x 12

F = 27
R = 36
r = 3.25
L = ?

R1 = R – r
= 36 – 3.25
= 32.75
H = F – d
= 27 -12
= 15

( R1 x R1) + ( H x H) = L squared
= (32.75 x 32.75) + (15 x 15)
= 1073 + 225
= 1298
L = square root of 1298
L = 36.03 inches

It seems your skew is wrong please correct it sir.

at last i made it

Is this site being bombarded with adware/malware ?
... I'm getting alot of interference whenI access JF lately

That's unfortunate! On the mobile app it's okay, no splashes.

Vicwa.

I will appreciate pictures of your 2.4 m when you add Measat as Giden recommends. Which sats r u getting now?

Thanks ndonu, indeed all is well. I can't tell where I was going wrong

 

[ndonu]

Thanks ndonu, indeed all is well. I can't tell where I was going wrong

ok. which other sat do get on your side apart from apst 7, i have 2.4M currently it has only lnb for a7 i want to add others.

Where can one watch TOUR DE FRANCE cycling on FTA?

Try TV 5 on Nilesat but the commentary is in French.

#Potrayed,
Unless its a tuner sensitivity issue, alphabox x4 was introduced as an alternative Pwr@Vu auto-roll satellite decoder. "alphabox x4" & "alphabox" as a brand name has not been in the market for more than 6 months.

Inverto Black Ultra Single LNB works wonders on 130 cm off-set dish & above. With a simple Stargold Single SG100- I Shape LNB and a 90cm off-set dish you can pull down at least 700 channels on Nilesat 201/ Eutelsat 7West A@7.3°w.

Try by mounting the dish on two inter-crossed planks of wood [6"x1"] and secure dish on ground level if possible as compared to wall mounting.

Software upgrade may not solve your problem above but as a reference point download alphabox x4 software here:

Would mounting a 90cm offset dish on a very straight Eucalyptus pole compromise signal reception in any way?

That is fine if you are looking for big brother, coz of very strong signal.

It would have been great if you could tell us what you did differently to make it. Remember this is an institution of higher learning with all of us as lecturers and students at the same time.

Also on 5e, and yes, le commentaire est en français.
