African Satellite World and Sat Gear

For most detailed information i use Lyngsat.com but for updated frequencies i use flysat.com.
That's true for if we give an example of DW tv on SES 5, it's listed on lyngsat but not on flysat.
 
Spotted in Mombasa town...the smaller one is definitely 8ft what size is the larger ?

What's is the name of this lnb
 


The websites rely on feedback from me and you.
 
It performs just as well as Pauxis PX 2000 but it's very choosy. It's good on 57e, 76.5 and 91.5 but poor on 68.5
My God so whats the best lnb for 68.5 .......coz i have just placed an order for px2000
 
You cud be right.... but for your info, in some locations its hard to get a decent terrestiaL signal for local channels
yap.I agree-it is an assumption that those of us who live in or around major urban centers often make...my bad..
 
Every one do recommend blind scan, what a full scan have to do with?
 
Px200o is good enough. Es21 gold plus is what I said is poor at 68.5
Maybe on your end my fren. Eurostar Es21 is very good but can't beat Pauxis px2000. It performs very well on 68.5 but better on circular satellites.
 
Decided to make some crude lnb holder arm extensions. To my surprise there was 2 - 3% improvement accross TPs on different sats. 3740 at 68.5 was playing at 92, now 94%, Kenyan mux 72e was Shaky 80%, now 83%. The multi stream tp never appeared before, now 86%. 4Fn at 64.2 was 80, now 83%. Tvm 64.2 never appeared before, now at 57%. 3760 measat was 89%, now 92%

 
Brilliant! That's the spirit. Just out of curiosity, how did you come to decide on this experiment?

I've been reading that Chinese made dishes come with the wrong focal lengths. Mostly too short. So I decided to make some focal length extension.

To my surprise it's true.,
it looks like these Chinese are making shorter holding arms to cut costs on material
 
Savings on R&D and quality control costs.
 
But you had to reposition again the lnbs right? As the previous lnbs positioning was based on the previous measurements including focal length.
 
Brilliant innovation
I think Vicwa or a member here last year posted a better way of going about it by making the arms adjustable. You cut in the middle or near bottom edge. Add a thiinner rod which will have a bolt lock ie a contraption like the prime focus elevation adjusting arm.

No I didn't touch the lnbs perhaps adjusting them would give better results
