Just wondering if you could help me with this thread...

Would be useful to know if anyone with the same receiver as me can pickup these Al Jazeera Channels?

yep all channels no probs in ipswich with a 1.8m channel master with both my 3000ipva and 3600ipva, the 3000 was chipped years ago and seems to do a bit more than the original grey ones

I'm in Spain 115km down the coast from Barcelona with 1m motorised dish and an ailing AD3000ip and yes I can get al jazeera, but my reciever stutters.

Yes, as you say you have the latest software - that eliminates one possible explanation.

I have just checked on an ad3000ipva and easily get 10723H on 13°e with a 80cm dish in southern England.

If you haven't already tried it delete a few unused transponders on hotbird + one other satellite to see if that makes any difference.

The only other explanation I can think of is a faulty LNB.

Thanks Burnham, glad to hear that someone with the same reciever & dish size in southern england can pick it up! whereabouts you from?

Why do you think deleting transponders or one other satellite will make any difference?

If I had a faulty LNB then why does it work on other transponders and even ones with a higher symbol rate?

What are your LNB settings? Mine is Type 1 and just got it set to Universal

Do you think trying to tilting the dish up more will make a difference?

The echostar ad3000 has poor quality components which can cause many faults over time. The main processor can be corrupted especially if you have a full set of satellites, transponders and channels.

That's why I suggest deleted a few unused transponders.

LNB settings Type 1 set to Universal is correct. You obviously can receive other channels on Hotbird so I don't see the point of adjusting the dish. I believe some individual LNBs can a blind spot at certain frequencies.

My sat range is from Turks@t 42E to Hispasat 30W & i'm far from a full set

I have recently bought setedit so I can do abit of a tidy up

I don't belive the Echostar AD3000IP via receiver has poor quality components as I have never had any problems with it and my uncle has the same receiver & it has been going for alot longer than mine without any probs!

I could try adjusting the dish while watching that frequency - no harm in trying! If's it's the LNB can anyone recommend a good LNB that picks up on all frequencies!
