Does anyone receive 3° west feeds [Archive]

Mickha

Are you certain it was on 3 West, or could it have been on 3 East?
Can you please provide more detail, regarding the feed, is it still broadcasting?

There is an 11064 H 8333 on 3 West, but that's on a South African beam, so not available in Europe.

Here are the listed satellite beams, for 3 West:

There is a test card listed on 11462 V 3062 DVB-S2 QPSK 1/2, that you can try.

3w getting popular for footy, I get the odd feed on 3w occasionally but not a sniff of epl feeds there using 1.1 in north east. wouldn't be surprised if there are even more there using ns3/ns4 modulation :(

Was that the Utd game? No, I couldn't get it on my 1.5m gibby, I can usually get these, though they are really weak. Not a sniff today, also the City game on 24.5w was weaker than usual too.

Burnham

Yes, it was the united game feed I tested, so the feed would have only lasted a short time after my post.

I have just tried the test card on 11462 V 3062 DVB-S2 QPSK 1/2, and get a signal even in the heavy cloud cover that I have today. The video shows an ABS logo, so I am definitely on 3°west. The signal is very poor, but it does enable me to peak the dish alignment for 3°west.

Strange that I could not get anything for the football feed yesterday, when the weather was clearer.

Thanks for all the replies

Football feeds, and other sports feeds, are often transmitted at a weaker signal, as we're not supposed to view them, due to copyright deals.
I watched the United game on 30W, not a feed, and you didn't miss a lot, United were poor, again, with the exception of one piece of brilliance, from Pogba, faking a volley and laying the ball off perfectly for Fred to score.
I'm still waiting for Alexis Sanchez to show what he's capable of, I've seen glimpses, with brilliant control, at times, but I thought he needed a pre-season, with United, to get into the groove, but we had the World Cup, so he still hasn't had that, but he should be doing better, by now, so is the problem with Sanchez or the coaching staff?

I am in extreme SE UK with a 1.1 Triax dish and receive 3W.
At the moment reception is awful due to high winds, heavy rain and my dish needs tweaking due to several windy periods battering it.
I am not bothering with the tweaking as I am going to replace the Triax with a 1.25 Gibby which I have ready.

Barney

Yes 3W was just about ok for me BBC Motd [ SiS Live ]
Feed for Man U V Wolves
Signal was very low just 8.6db 62% on my 2 meter prime focus dish so again very reduced signal and big dish required like any EPL Feeds that are broadcasting in KU Band , i believe for Copyright reasons etc.. SiS on purpose do reduce their EPL signals right down to bear minimum
i have yet to see any EPL Feed much higher than 9db which pretty much eliminates anyone watching on a smaller size dish below 1.6 meter ,
SiS usually broadcast @ 24.5 WEST , 3 WEST , on a rare occasion 10 East and 28.2 East ,
they choose obscure sats such as @ 24.5 WEST , 3 WEST as they are the most difficult to lock on smaller sized dishes .
There was a period of time a few years back when SiS did not bother to hide their feeds but i believe that day has long gone now : )

Used to get BBC MOTD feeds @ 50mbit 4:2:2, im guessing the sr10000 feeds on 3w are 18-20mbit. It feels like EPL feeds are being restricted in both PQ for those who can receive them and signal strength requiring much larger dishes for UK reception.
what are the 3w dish requirements in Europe?

I thought I would update this thread as there is another feed for a 3pm game reported on 3°w today - again I can't get any signal at all.

Reported feed details are 11064V 10000 Man City Burn 4:2:0

I have a 120cm dish here in SE England and I get no signal at all in perfect conditions - completely cloudless sky today. I know there are other ways to obtain this match, my interest is in getting these 3°west feeds.I LOCKED IT BUT ONLY 9db but stable on my 2 meter prime focus dish , no hope on my 1.2m dish , i would suggest at least 1.6meter offset dish to get a decent solid signal anything less would be a pointless task unless your close to the beam output which i am not for certain .
Due to Che v Man U being on Murdock TV there was only 2 feeds for danish TV on 1W FTA
so no hope to find anything much in KU band as expected ,
Next Sunday Man U vs Everton will be Murdock TV again and Following Saturday Nov 3rd vs AFC Bournemouth will be KU Feeds as its Early BT Sport kick off , then Utd v City Sunday 11th Nov is again Murdock TV so again will not be any KU Band feeds other than IMGA EU feed in Tandberg V3 @ 7E .

The only hope is getting an early Saturday EPL Feed [ 12:30pm ] from BT Sport
or 3pm BBC MOTD KU feeds @ 24.5w or 3W or 10E/28.2E
Anything broadcast on Murdock TV will be 99.99% sure to be a Fiber broadcast and which only requires KU Band IMGA EU feed in Tandberg V3 @ 7E which is safe and secure .

Thanks for confirming the requirements to receive these 3°w feeds. A pity such a large dish is needed.

And thanks for the detailed comments on all Saturday football feeds.

Does that mean you can view the live football feeds, with your 1.1M dish, or just get the satellite?

Burnham

22-10-2018, 07:52 AM

@manic01 Thanks for your posts - gives encouragement to me and others to keep checking this 3°w satellite.

To help us further, can you say what maximum dB you get on the ABS test card on 11462v 2061 1/2. I can compare your results to my own signal strength here on my 120cm dish in SE England. On my Duo2/ViX set up I can see the dB by going to menu/setup/Tuner config/Signal finder - might be different on your setup.

There are a few champions league games on 3.0W tonight.

Burnham

24-10-2018, 02:13 PM

Thanks for that information. I checked one reported EUFA 3°w feed a few minutes ago and it is even stronger than the ABS test card. I suspect that all the champions league 3°w feeds will be similarly strong - but I will check them as they are reported through the day.

The problem is with the Saturday 3pm EPL feeds which are at much lower power.

What would be helpful is if anyone who can get 3°w EPL 3pm feeds would publish what strength (in dB) they get on the ABS test card on 3°w to enable us to make a comparison with our own results.

There is another one reported by cikifix on Sat-universe.

Burnham

25-10-2018, 10:32 PM

I noticed that post about the rete capri mux, and earlier today I scanned in the three channels. They looked useful as they were stronger (for me) than the ABS test card and I thought would be a good marker for this difficult to get satellite.

Then I checked later this afternoon, and got nothing. I've just checked again a few minutes ago and still nothing for me. I don't know if they have reduced power on these channels, or whether they have been pulled from this satellite.

TBF, wouldn't have made any difference m8, all sat receivers would have worked with that SR anyway. The problem will have more likely been dish size/signal strength.

Mickha

17-01-2019, 11:37 AM

From what I can see there is only 2 between 10,000 and 9,998, which shouldn't be a big difference, and certainly shouldn't stop a receiver scanning in the frequency.
Which make/model receiver are you using manic01?

Mickha

17-01-2019, 12:44 PM

It would be interesting if others, with different receivers, could add to the debate, to see if they can receive the feeds on 9998, rather than 10000.
Unfortunately I have little chance. of picking up these feeds, on 3 West, due to location.

3tv

17-01-2019, 06:56 PM

TM5402 9998 nothing, 10000 boomed in, strange that, skew is spot on etc so not sure why it would not work on 9998 but 10000 it did.
As stated the little difference should not of made much difference unless the feed was really maybe 10005 and misposted by the original finder of the feed.
That way it could of made it borderline on 9998.
I have amended my OP to add more info.

what dish size and location?

I was involved in a test on this sat a couple of months back - using an 8MHz channel with 7.2 sym rate in HD. 3 other locations were also taking the test. The uplink truck put up as much power as was allowed and proclaimed the sat as "deaf". ABS test card OK, but I could just about see the test txp on my spectrum analyser, but unable to get a lock on the decoder. (1.2m dish). Other locations had 1.5m (no lock) 1.8m (very occasional lock, but mostly just picture break-up) 2.8m Lock OK. The power when using 12 or 15 MHz channels is higher, so it can occasionally be picked up. FYI All locations were in Wales for the test, but, sorry, I cannot reveal where.
Good luck with finding the feeds - I certainly won't be using this sat for any events.

just reinstalled my dish. Got a little more signal but dont think it will be anywhere near enough for 3.0w feeds. Tuned the Odeon 24 transponder and currently @ 8.2db snr51% was 7.4 a few hours a go so looks like signal increases through the day.

I get 10.5db on that transponder(atm) and still struggle to get the EPL feeds, so doubt you will even see them tbh.

That's a good tester.

i can tune it but get break ups :(

I get ABS at 98% on my Triax 1.1 and TBS PC card.
I am in extreme SE UK.

I doubt that the 98% figure is correct though. Seems too high to me.
The picture is very stable though with no break-ups.

I am surprised I can get anything on this sat as I still yet have to tweak my dish.
Too busy doing jobs on wife's list. :(

I thought I would test this also as a diversion from something else I'm involved with at present.

I can get a video on the ABS test card, but it is breaking up - if it were a moving video, not sure how much would be viewable. For what it's worth the SNR is around 51%.

This is with a 120cm dish, northwest M25. Clear weather here today.

being that far south i would expect you to get more out of a 1.2

i need to check the dish is perfectly square to the motor. 3w is a good sat to hone alignment. a few turns of the mounting nuts can vary the signal by a db or 2. Busy painting. will get back to the dish at the weekend and see if anymore signal can be gained. either way it will be worth it for a boost on other sats if i can nail alignment.

I couldn't get any football feeds on this sat this season due to the storms battering my dish.
I still have not found the time to replace my 1.1 Triax with a new 1.25 Gibertini.
I have so many jobs to do around the house and the wife is always cracking the whip. :(
I thought taking early retirement was going to be a good idea. I am busier than ever now.

had another go today before the weather takes a turn for the worse. Ive tweaked the dish alignment to the motor pole clamp. On the Motor itself were you set latitude i used that surface to slide a ruler to the dish marking each side. It was the easy to notice the dish wasnt actually square on to the motor so i tweaked that but didnt really gain anything. There is play in the motor which doesnt help

It's actaully down as 2.9W ABS-3A on cateseyes. Try scanning DVB-S2 12739 V 13175 QPSK FEC 2/3

Was busy on Sunday so missed this feed posted on SU. 3°west - 10960 V 10000 - 4:2:0 - Sheffield Utd vs Fulham. There may have been other 3°west feeds posted since the EPL season restarted, but I have not checked them.

As I did not search for the feed on 18 Oct 2020 I don't know how strong it was, but could be worth looking out for these feed in future.

Looking at lyngsat you're correct, with the transponder details ManikM, if your dish is on 3W try the FTA channels listed on 12739 V 13175, DVB-S2 QPSK 2/3, they are also listed on the Europe beam.

thanks , yeah i can easily get those ones, about 12.5db signal. its just the test card i cant get anymore but i used to be able to, very odd.

i wasnt sure if my dish had got out of alignment or not

i think signal is reduced enough so that smaller dishes can not lock on it anymore ??
i can only just lock it on my 2m prime focus dish with Rain .

Here in West Midlands with my Gibertini 1.25m and Inverto Black ultra I did get a lock on one EPL feed on a bright cloudless sunny day but it did break up. Realistically you need a bigger dish to get the EPL feeds on 3W. I've tried many LNB's too and IBU was still best for these feeds even better than Inverto PLL at getting a lock.

Have tested some of these Saturday 3°w feeds this season, but this is the first where I have managed to get a good signal.
