Is M*N wo*ldwid* on NSS 7 still possible in East Africa with a 130cm offset dish and a conical scalar ring after the frequency change. I tried it last evening with a Eurostar ESCD-600 LNBF and failed miserably. It was my maiden attempt on C-Band & here is how I configured the receiver;

Anything wrong with how I configured the receiver? And if NSS7 is no longer possible with a 130cm, will I still be able to lock M*N wo*ldwid* on NSS 12 @ 57˚E with the same dish size?

Ooh so both lnbz for is20/apst7 r fried? Will try tomorrow with another lnb. Actually jst now recver was switched off for some few minutes and refused completely to go green when on.

If its twin lnb u can change the pot bt better new one

Hey guys, anyone in Nairobi getting the CNN TP 12226 H 27500 clearly using a 90cm and inverto black LNB? I can't seem to get a stable picture on it. Location, Uthiru.

lnb type: either 5150 or single. any of the two. i am not near the set up and hence not sure. 5150/5750 is wrong for c band.

At my end loud and clear, check your setup it might have been slightly moved by wind.

Thanks Pitawin...I will check out my set up again and see where the problem is.

And also check out any obstacles that might broke the flow of signal from reaching directly to the dish. I had the same issue......... Viva FTA

I would suggest you first try to nab C-Band sat like IS-20 or Paksat to test your configuration, once you hit green then you try NSS12 or NSS7 (remember to re-insert the Teflon).

Some C-Band LNBs (Eurostar) use 5750.

Hi members & sellers,

Where in kenya can i get Supermax vh 777? & at how much? This lnb has served me very well.

Thank you QIMEU. I tried with 5150 and picked something on NSS 12. I ran a blind scan and only got 4 Transponders. I got channels on 3 of the tps; 3636/H&V/2624 hosting ONRTV-TCHAD & 3805/V/20000 hosting BFBS package. 4th tp was 4151/V/9245 but showed no readable signal. The BFBS tp showed no readable signal either when I performed the 1st scan and then gave a readable signal when i inserted a teflon dielectric. It was in fact after inserting the dielectric that I was able to pick up the M*N tp. I did a lot of twitching (adjusting the position of the scalar ring back and foward, skewing the LNB) to improve the signal on the tp but in vain. Been in the sun since mid-day and I've learnt a lot today but I feel it's not enough. What can I do to improve the signal on that tp?

Thanks Tolgos for the input. Interestingly, I couldn't pick anything on IS-20 but was fortunate that I managed something on NSS12. There's a post on the previous page where you recommend using two Teflon dielectrics on Intelsat 906 (64.2E) for better signal quality. Would this work for NSS12? And how far inside the LNBF should the dielectric be inserted?

I've just tried 5750 with a Eurostar ESCD-600. It works but the signal seems cracky

It also could be the disecq switch or maybe the rfs are not well connected to the cable. If the problem is the lnb,replace it with the old models. A brand new cband lnb from the shop ni bure. Prone to frying.

Bw. Qimeu[emoji113]. There's nothing wrong with those settings on his decoder. With that any LNB will work well even single solution eg ES21 and there will no deductions. I think Edson should try NSS12 57E.

Guys when u blind scan and get like 80% but red what does it signify.

Try editing the transponder either addition or subtraction
