What hd box are you using m8

[Giga]

you can only get the transponders of these two:
Astra 1E
Astra 1G
Astra 3A what your trying to get will not work, think cut off footprint is London with 1.2 m dish

Try 11595V at about 4.30pm.
I struggle through the day but it goes from 50% quality up to 80% at that time of day (don't know why)

any one around exeter get this ???

i've been trying with a 1.5m offset but no luck yet !

just wondered if anyone outside the footprint with a big dishis actualy receiving it so i know if i'm wasting my time or should go for a bigger dish ?

thanks :respect-058:

The in-between distances on the west side are very narrow. You are at least 4 times away from the 1.20 m dish size. Maybe with a 2.5 meter and then only for vertical transponder where the cut off for 1.20m would be Reading. While for the horizontal transponder that would be Southend-on-Sea. This all on paper, and not in real life. See if you can find a ******* in your area with these dish sizes and ask for a demo, before you buy and don't forget the requirements for mounting dishes this size: regulations and wind loads, ...

thanks to reply GIGA !

its been driving me mad ! all i want is the music choice pakage !

tried upgrade to .2 lnb which of course made no differance but i had to try!

any other method ! apart from the big dish which may not do it !

can this package be received anywhere else ! i was thinking of getting a spider box or similar if it is poss !!!

i know digi turk has this pack available but its not open now ! :nopity:

perhaps i should just move to south east.......remember thinking the same when i used to follow sirius !

that sat too had a slight wobble which meant around 8pm through till midnight 1 am the signal strenght would increase enough to pick up extra transponders just....i mean just(some freeze and break up with rain/cloud)

anyway that was then ! any ideas NOW :woohoo-022:

Hi

At first remember I am watching these channel in middle of Finland with 1.2 plastic offset.(most of them I can get also with 1,05 offset)

Then look at the map.(they are as good/bad as people informed all around
world).According maps I am not able to see them.

So its always good You try it by Yourself.And thanks for that to many members.

And what I want to say that this map is not correct in North-East as I can see also KD channels and of course having stronger/weaker tp:s

And my observation is not equal to You who are living on the other side of the Beam.

Now I'm confused? Music Choice: Astra 2A 28.2°E 11778.00 V DVB-S 27500 2/3

[quibath]

Hi

I am also confused.
I thought its about 23.5E

BR,Q

[rikjaard-real]

sorry for confusion Giga ! its the foriegn version of music choice !!! but i used english name so you guys got the idea of what i was loking for !

i just checked package name at 23.5e to my surprise its Music choice ....11635 H dvb s2 sr28500 fec 9/10 according to lyngsat !

also at 7e 11617 v 30000 3/4 music choice

and a spin off company on at 26e called XLNT 11054 H 27500 3/4 BUT here there is no REGGAE channel which is specificly what i want brother :respect-056:

[Giga]

VH-1? try 1°W Intelsat 10-02 12527 H DVB-S 27500 3/4

[rikjaard-real]

on the radio side of things there are a few good choices available and i feel its one of the most overlooked subsections of satellite tv hobby ! in particular
at 19.2e kink fm
sunshine radio

and right now i'm listen to BH radio1 from 12.5 w

thanks for the advice chaps ! suggestions will be thoroughly explored !

[oldjiver]

Hi,
I am in north Es*** and get a good signal for 23.5e. I listen to the music choice a lot on there with my patched TM6900. They play a good selection.

[rikjaard-real]

nice one old jiver !!!! :respect-053: i knew there would be others out there listening ! keep up the good work !!! soon again the solution will arrive ! maybe by dish or maybe by new stb ! at the moment i dont know ! but i keep trying anyhow ! :cheers2:
