Hi all, does anyone know if the keys for the 4 russian channels on 13E are known? I believe it is scrambled in via2 and conax.... I can't find any topics on it..any pointers would be appreciated! The freq 12.332Ghz. H 27500 3/4
Cheers

The keys are not public, however they clear on Prem International on 23.5E, if you can clear Prem and can receive Astra 23.5E

Thanks for the quick reply m8, i have tried to pick up 23.5E, but not had much luck finding it with my DB i have a 90cm motirsed dish, and i've checked the footprint would suggest i can receive this sat here in the mids.. I note its at 12.685H 27500 3/4 thats all programmed in :).. am i correct in assuming this?

theres 2 birds at 23.5east, the channels you after are on the bird with a footprint tight on Germany. You should be able to get it with a 90cm if you dish is bang on.

I cant seem to get 23.5E to my fustration!! I get 28E and 19E super, and yet this bugger is inbetween.My dreamb can't lock it when i'm moving between the above two on my motorised setup!

I got a pretty good arc and I can't get a decent signal on this sat.
I have a DB and a Gibertini 90cm, MTI Blueline but only manage about 50 signal :(

I can get them on an 80cm in SE England, so I think that you would be okay with a 90cm in say Birmingham. I looked at the footprint info, and that indicates that 85cm may be enough.

As said by 3tv though, you have to get the dish aligned very precisely. I don't mean just E-W, but elevation as well. This is one of the birds that I use for precise positioning of my dishes. I can get strong signals on some of the weaker birds like 5E and 10E, and yet get nothing on 23.5E unless I align specifically on it. Then all the other birds "boom" in :)

sorry to disapoint you, but you need an hd receiver to watch the channels, signal is carried in DVB-S2!
