How many channels??

[Dr Rott]

Hi, jumping straight in at the deep end with no experience, I have nailed a T90 torroidal dish to the wall, stuck 4 Inverto black ultra lnb's on it and fiddled with it 'till it worked.
Using a clone DM500 box and scanning 4 sats, I can recieve the following amount of services.-
5E - 485
13E - 1283
16E - 295
19E - 840

I was just wondering if this is about right for a 90 cm dish in the south midlands or do I need to tweak it some more?

yes that looks about rite with a SD box as you would obviously not pull in the HD channels.

It would detect the HD channels though and include them in the scan?

looks ok to me, how did you find the setting up of the dish, im constantly tinkering with mine, ive found that i need top quality lnbs to get all transponders and it can be a bit iffy in the winter months

an sd receiver will detect HD channels if they are DVB/S but not if they are DVB/S2

Found it pretty easy once I gave up trying to use 16E as my central satellite and used 13E instead! I am using Inverto Black Ultra lnb's as these seem pretty highly rated. I guess time and fiddling will tell over this winter!

Thanks, that's a lot clearer now!
