Cant lock onto 16E

[sambhi92]

Hi guys,

I have a dm500 running gemini 4.7, and i cant seem to lock onto 16E for the tring channels, anyone know of a way?

I get 13, 19.2 and 28.2, but not 16?

i got same prob, can get a lock on 4.8e.7.0e.19.2 but cant get a lock on 13.5 - 15.8 - 16 tring, and 28.2, having to move dish with a technomate an get a lock this way. because of this its a right pain in the butt.

funny, i cant get all the ones you get apart from 19.2, i can get that, but all others i cant. probablt because im in london and your in liverpool

Try and lock onto a channel with a strong transonder on 16 and once you get a lock most channels should work.

Try this one.

I get all the vod but that's the only channels I get one the 1st transponder, I can't lock on to any others. Get about 75 sig on it.

Any ideas? Tried manual on the tring channels and I do have a clear line of sight with 90 cm dish in London v

thanks for the advice andy, appreciate it.

your not saying what size of dish you have 16 east has always been week you need an 80cm dish and even at that you will get breaking up in bad weather ,but as stated try a different tp when searching for it

Got a 90cm dish in london.

I guess it has always been week, i guessi should worry to much, got all the channels i need anyways on 13e, 19.2 and 28.2.

Cheers guys

New satellite has been launched for 16E because the ones there now are very weak and beyond their sellby date.even with that size dish its sometimes hard to pick up and it's just very minute movements on the dish or you will go right past it.Expect new satellite to go into service before the end of the year.

Trings on 15.5e now. Download a new satallites file and rescan. There are now 15.5 15.8 and 16e

No tring is on 16E still..same as before..new satellite has moved into position.signals should be alot stronger on this bird than before.You should be picking up tring in london with your dish no problems.You probably have an alignment issue..

I am getting 19.5db on Tring and that's in Scotland. Funnily enough I seem to have lost Digi so will be doing a rescan to try get it back tomorrow Update rescanned and now picking up all 450+ channels including Digi and Tring

[sambhi92]

Will give it a try soon.

dont forget 16e has changed last week onto W3C satellite so a lot of transponder changes have happened , check the usual sat sites for an updated transponder list

[sambhi92]

Just wondering. Which tp should I scan?

On lj it says 11.282 but all sat websites says 283, I never used to get 283, I have a clear line of sight but still can't get 823. Any help?
