A little trick to get 7.0w and 4.0w

[skyhacker]

Hi i have just been fideling around with my tm box and ive noticed i cant get 4.0w or 7.0w i can get all the rest from 53e to 45w, my latitude is 54n and my londitude is 1w i changed my lon to 54s and i found that when i went back on to 4.0 and 7.0w they worked awsome eh?? but whilest on 54s its only 7 and 4w that work none ov the others has any one else had the same kinda thing happen???

I think you have messed up with wording the post.. What was your starting lon and lat? East or west? North or south..please make it clearer.. How many 7w transponders do you receive?

[skyhacker]

right my longditude is 1.0w and my latitude is 54.0n as normal when its set like that i cant get nilesat7.0w or amos4.0w but if i change my latitude to 54.0s i can get them.

Ooh might try that tomorrow for 1west as i have poor sig

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Oooo..forgot.which transponders and channels do you receiver from7west?

[skyhacker]

all of em ive got the new transpoders from lyngsat on both its a wierd 1 any way

and sometimes on 1w thor i goto motorised setting and change my longditude around abit and hey presto good quality signal try it

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

I know about tampering with the long at lat..you will find this out if you read my sticky on fine tuning a motorised dish.. But im just suprised that changing north to south gets you 7west. . Can you tell me the exact channels from 7west which you are getting a pictur from please..

to get a good signal from the uk, on amos at 4w you need a
1.2 mtr dish as for nilesat at 7w with a 1.2 mtr dish you will
only open the vertical chns and this depends on the weather
and time of day, [this from the north west of the uk], if you are more
south and east a dish of this size gets a bit better reception
from my possition to get all the chns on nilesat i need a 2.4 mtr dish
and from the south of the uk a 1.8 mtr dish is required
from the south of the uk a lot have signal problems with astra 3 @23.5e
it the old saying it's a bigger dish that makes for better signals not so
much the lnb, even though the lower the noise number the better
