Frequency please?

 

[karizz]

hi guys,i was trying to nail es'hail using a 240 cm wire mesh dish,star gold pf lnb but failed miserably.location nairobi.what was i doing wrong plus how efficient is this mesh wire dish compared to their solid counter parts. you response /opinion is highly valued

I remember reading somewhere that the size of the holes in the mesh is proportional to the frequency , so the higher the frequency the smaller the holes.If i were you i would try a finer mesh like 1mm or galvanized sheet. Don't foil it,people say that bcos someone said it somewhere.You foil a solid dish or fiber dish not a mesh dish. you will look ridiculous.

Eutelsat 70B 11057 Vee 29995

 

[Tolgos]

Spacecom and Paris-based Eutelsat in November 2014 announced a partnership to jointly market each other?s Ku-band capacity at 16 degrees east ? where the Eutelsat 16A is located ? and Amos-5 next door at 17 degrees east.
The two companies said at the time that their combined business from the two locations totaled ?over 100 free-to-air African and international channels that can be received by standard 80-cm dishes in a vast footprint covering over 30 million TV homes located notably in Francophone Africa and extending to Ghana and Nigeria.?
Eutelsat on Nov. 23 said that it had not leased capacity on Amos-5 as part of its co-marketing agreement with Spacecom, and that the two companies? agreement did not include guaranteed mutual backup in the event one of their satellites failed. Eutelsat said it had some Ku-band capacity over Africa available on its Eutelsat 16A satellite, but that any Spacecom use of it would need to be negotiated by the two companies.
Spacecom has scheduled the launch of the larger Amos-6 satellite aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket sometime in mid-2016 ? depending on when Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX returns to flight following a June failure. But Amos-6 will operate at 4 degrees west, Spacecom?s core orbital position.
?Spacecom is working around the clock, doing the utmost to speed service recovery for its customers,? Spacecom Chief Executive David Pollack said in a Nov. 22 statement.

What is it with Kenyan channels. Do they do it on purpose or they are just incompetent. Now the channels on this transponder are freezing and cracking enough to annoy (Same nonsense we saw on continental package). And soon am sure they will disappear. Compare with Btv channels next door on 68.5e and they are miles apart in quality. (i have combined 68.5e with 70.5e on a 60cm dish). :smash:

I think the best solution is intelsat 22. c band. or perhaps your decoder is the problem. last time I checked it was ok

Seems AD Sports from 3HD to 6HD are FTA for now....actually the whole transponder is FTA enjoy while it lasts
