[bishbash]

Hi m8s
What is the strongest transponder on this bird i am trying to find it with a zone 2 dish using my satfind on dream 7020,i have 13,19 and 28 no problem but cannot find 42.
Thank you.

just checking it here and cnn turk / fb tv / euro d / star / turkshow , dream turk seems to be strong ( and fta too )

11804v 24444

Also the TRT transponder on 11919V SR 24444 FEC 3/4 is very strong too.

Thanks echelon just copying your project so far so good,one other question using hotbird as my main sat do you think its possible to receive 10 east?

[echelon]

depends if you use slimline lnb,s and slimline holders like the triax ones

I suppose it is possible but not with standard lnb,s as 3 degrees is too close together

if you look at the picture in my project you will see the hotbird and astra lnb,s are touching each other and that is a 6 degree spacing so you wont get a 3 degree spacing as in my case the actual holders are touching each other never mind the lnb,s

I've tried 7 east because of the spacing but cant find anything,but its good fun anyway keeps me away from the wife.:p

I couldnt find anything apart from the 4 sats I got in the project , and I was trying 7e , 5e and 1w among others

the 4 sats I have got are rock solid but the longer lnb arm was a difficult thing to find , and in the end it was an old pair of aluminium ladders that provided the arm by cutting about 20 inches off all 4 legs , so the ladders are now much shorter but still function and I got 4 lnb arms out of it too :)

the arm sticks out of the back of the dish and has several fixing holes drilled into it so I can extend or shorten it very easily by removing the one fixing bolt



Also the TRT transponder on 11919V SR 24444 FEC 3/4 is very strong too.

just tuned these channels in , so thanks for the tip :)

I welded two arm's together then put several holes in and like you 15 inches works fine in manchester,so now the kids can watch premier films in one room and me the football in another.
Thank's for the idea in the first place.

[echelon]

yep , that would work too ;)

I originally used one arm from a zone 1 dish and one arm from a zone 2 dish connected by some wood inside

it actually works a treat whichever way you do it :)
