Because with 6ft I could get H2 late at night, so with 8ft it should be stable.

Congrats. Salimia mama watoto..View attachment 847773 After a full day yesterday assembling an 8ft (with assistance from mama watoto) and today spending whole day looking for measat ... i can happily sit down and watch CI vizuri
But imefika jioni sijui E@rth is scratching and tips .... and i wasnt able to get H2 and Lifetime

nitafikisha salamuCongrats. Salimia mama watoto..
Good question. Perhaps its allowed to do that if you are the first to introduce that technology on a continent where everyone else is using terrestrial analog transmission.
Safi! Niko njiani kujipatia moja in a month or two! Freq usinipe lecture ya actuators. Hehehehe.
With good adjustments and fine tuning on 6ft H2 can appear from 3pm until sometime before dusk while Bee Bee C Erth is stable all through.Because with 6ft I could get H2 late at night, so with 8ft it should be stable.

Sure bro!
I'm glad with my 2 6ft dishes that gives me 68.5 and 76.5 to the fullest. Unless an 8ft dish give me asiasat7 I'm still satisfied with those.

About Actuators
By the way fixing an 8ft on a single sat is underutilizing it way below its full potential. If you can motorize it please do.

Man I have 3 6ft dishes and its like I'm still feeling something dangling in me when I see tps that I know there is something in there that won't appear no matter what!
I'm throwing a towel, an 8ft all the way, I guess this time I'll have to zip up my big mouth so you won't prove me wrong again hehehe!

Asante sana! Sure I'll definitely need the Actuator at one point in time!Hahaha... got ya..! The internet never forgets.
I'll be glad to welcome you to the 8ft club... and the Actuator club too in the future..

i want to fully utilise my 8ft ... motorizing it is the next step ....... soon
i will def tryTry it on different sats eg 91.5e, 78e, 76.5e, 68.5e 64e, 57e 66e and so forth.
See if you need to change azimuth while moving from one sat to another. If azimuth must be changed at your location, it'll be tricky.. you may need to fabricate a new pole mount.
If you move between those sats by simply changing elevation (if you are near enough to the equator), hoooray! All you'll need is to fix the actuator on the elevation mount to do the elevation changing for you.

Congratulations for the effort now point the lnb to the middle of the dish. Also measure the distance from center of dish to start of scalar it should be 92cm or thereabouts. You should also set the correct skew. 8ft should give you all important tps.View attachment 847773 After a full day yesterday assembling an 8ft (with assistance from mama watoto) and today spending whole day looking for measat ... i can happily sit down and watch CI vizuri

All dishes unless own fabrication try to get the standard settings used by most manufacturers, f/d ratio, curvature,focal length,signal gain,sheet gauge thus i gave the measurements. 8ft focal length is usually around 90-92cm for manufactured dishes.The focal distance however depends on the curvature profile of the dish that may vary from brand to brand.
It's longer on flatter dishes and shorter on deeper dishes. There's no one-distance-fits-all
Let's hope so.All dishes unless own fabrication try to get the standard settings used by most manufacturers, f/d ratio, curvature,focal length,signal gain,sheet gauge thus i gave the measurements. 8ft focal length is usually around 90-92cm for manufactured dishes.
