36deg east

I am tring to find a channel called HI soccer on this satellite for this weekends footy , i can lock and clear some channels on this satellite but even a transponder scan with the added FREQ for this channel does not pull up any more channels .


I am in NW uk and using a 90 cm dish , can any of you guys see anything more cahnnels from this satellite?

Think this is the one with a 'Nigeria' footprint beam only.

[karlpowell]

Thanks for your reply , might as well stop scanning :-)

Hi,

I get the HiTV package in Lagos Nigeria and as already mentioned its on the Nigeria spot beam. I couldnt even get the wider beams carrying Multichoice DSTV from 36E ku in NW England with a 2m dish so this ones seems like a real impossibility unfortunately.

Cheers.

As on the subject of 36E, anyone managed to bring in the NTV russian TV packages on this bird? Lyngsat does say it's a russian beam, but was just wondering if anyone had any success with it in uk.. thanks

NTV transmissions, being circularly polarised as well as being beamed to russia, does not help matters for reception in the UK. That is if you are useing a universal LNB that picks up horizontal and vertical transmission.

as any1 got a strong signal for 36e again 80 dish uk midlands got 39 but cannot find 36 been on lyngsat getting mixed up with fixed russia thanks

m8 think you are p*ssing in the wind trying to get 36.0e.

I had a look with my 110telves dish a while ago and got nothing.

I think there is two beams one for Russia and the other for Africa.

It depends on what one means by "36E"...there are actually 2 satellites in that slot, Eutelsat Sesat and Eutelsat W4.

The Eutelsat Sesat satellite should be accessible around the UK with it´s european footprint, it is quite strong here is Sweden. A slighty larger dish might be needed in the UK.

The South Africa beam is self explainatory.

The Eutelsat W4 satellite is a harder nut altogether. The footprints are over Russia and the transmission is using circular polarity which requires a dedicated lnb (the ones we normally use are for linear polarity only and will have a very degraded pickup of circular signals). Simply forget reception in the UK with any domestic dish! It is accessible here in Sweden with -lets say-...aprox a 1.2m dish and dedicated circular lnb.
