I ment these stuff......

Glad to know you succeeded.You can see the brand name does not matter only the chipset is what counts.

precisely! so the adapter can be a TP-Link ,linksys etc ...so far any usb wifi adapter with chipset

Ralink Rt3070 and RT5370 can work with SRT4922 e.g

Ruffcast can you confirm for me the 5West KTN's signal stability? Mine is weak on 8ft. I guess it needs fine-tuning.

Guys catch Family Tv1 &Family Tv2 @17e and lately @68.5e both on ku-band.

KTN signal strength on 5West has always been low.. even with a 12ft mesh it gives me trouble at times. I had planned on getting it from 10E alongside others but now that I hear it has left that position I wont bother.

you are able to combine the two sats(7W&8W) on one lnb becoz you are deep within the beam but others who are further south gonna lose some channels when they try the same.
my advice get bigger dish probably 130cm, you won‘t lose any channels

exactly!.. I have managed to strike some middle ground and now getting the three Satellites using one lnb.. It took some compromise but at least now I get CNN,BBC,CCTV,Press TV,Dubai One,Euronews from Nilesat 201 ,Aljazeera America ,The MBC channels from Eutelsat 8 West A and the rest from Eutelsat 7 West A


Eutelsat 8 West A
MBC tp - 65%
Al Jazeera America tp - 60%

Eutelsat 7 West A
Fox Movies tp - 81%
Dubai Racing HD - 80%

Nilesat 201
CNN tp - 68%
MTV -66%
Dubai one -72%
BBC - 70%

My Dish Size is 1.2m and i'm using an inverto Black Ultra lnb. locations shores of Lake Victoria, Homabay Couty

I agree the MBCs are so much better and free. I tried and successfully installed 17E(main sat) ,7Eand 5E on a 65cm dish with 2 LNBs. Tried the same with 7W and 8W but its impossible, the sats are too close together. The 7W setup manages to nab very very weak KTV2 and channel 4teen tps. Efforts to maximise 8W leaves me with only Top movies tp on 7W.

I had to make the sacrifice on regaining the MBCs. I have lost the CNNs and the MTVs. The sight of MBC 2 channel filling my screen is so refreshing...إن شاء الله Tomorrow i shall work towards striking that delicate balance in achieving both set of channels!

Today was "on the roof" day!:flame: i have also just finished tweaking the 7W/8W setup. not too hard, you just need to set your priorities then make the cut.:decision::A S 109::smash:. woe be unto you if you do not have a proper signal meter etc. like me. you then have to go up there with the spare telly. if your balancing act is ok. :crutch:else cooperation from down under gets veeeery veeeery scarce as time goes by. :attention::deadhorse:

 

[msanifu]

which frequency?

astrium engineers building astra 2f satelite.most electronics parts were made in portsmouth before launching it into space was quite informative.

So you managed to attain the balance and now have both the CNNs and the MBCs?

has anyone on kenya coast managed to strike the balance on the 3 sats?

Good evening gurus,please can someone come to my risk;i have a eurostar 90cm dish and astrovox 9000hd.how can i manage to nab goodies from 7e,4 the past 2 days on the roof w/o success.wat am doing wrong cos the only signal bar which rises is written L90% Q0%.but at times L% reduces to 70%.am a novice.wat are the uses of the calibrations behind the dish labelled 30-90?
dont be offended,lastly am from kisii.

After lots of tweaking I was able to get 8w n 7w minus the news channels!!! Good thing is that am getting fox channels. Super great.

 

[moses4all]

Brothers,am learning more from the forum and please let's move fta tv forward but I can I get nilesat down here malawi. MOSeS

not quite. MBC's won this evening. kesho i will do the deed.else i will just piggy-back another lnb on the existing one.

good job here guys keep it up

Bluez, the graduations on the back of the dish are elevation angle degrees. they are to help you get the elevation right for the desired satellite, from your location. if your mounting pole(the round tube that came with your dish) is not dead upright,those graduations are useless. you get a spirit level and make sure your pole is truely upright. and it stays that way, both with the weight of the dish and wind and doves perching on it. mount it very firmly.
as for the L90% and Q0%, the L is gibberish. it is a relative signal strength from the satellite, any radiation. the Q is signal quality from your desired satellite. 0% means you are facing the wrong direction. not quite pointed to it.
have a look at some tutorials so you get the hang of it(determining what to buy and how to get satellite location etc). it makes introduction to your installations less painfull. HughesNet HX VSAT terminal installation
hope it helps you. it did help me a lot.
