Thor 2/3 Dish requirements

[bulletz]

Hi
How big does my dish need to be to obtain thor 2/3 0.8 WEST channels with great signal. What LNB would i need? And one last question, will normal satankeys updated and CCcam emulator on dm500 get all the channels or is the encryptio.n strong on thor 0.8 degress west. i have been recommended this satallite and want to know if its a good satallite to get channels without cs.
Thanx any help will be appreciated. any other statallties that people use would be aprreaciated. I am bored with my mini sky dish which gives good signal on hotbird but not enough.

Go for a Triax 88cm with universal 0.2 lnb of your choice and you will have no probs install nabilosat image v8 and then you can update your keys by pressing button on your remote control as long as your box is connected to the net otherwise do it manually via ftp you will get footy channels movie channels and ~~~~ without c/s install cccam and when your up for it you'll have all the ingredients for c/s.

As with all dish size requirements, location is very important..where abouts are you?

Do you have your dish motorised

[eddik]

not at the moment, but im going to go motorised in the summer and i should have pointed out that the dish is fastened to the chimney

[andymc1s]

Do you have any reception problems when the weather is bad

[eddik]

up till now none at all its as good as picture as normal tv reception. I used to have it 19.2 but lost the package on that , so moved it manually to 1w and no probs, just use latest files on diablo to open everything

[andymc1s]

Did you have any problems with dish allignment did you use a sat-finder etc

[eddik]

took a while to get it exact, used a satellite finder to get a signal at the satellite which i thought was 1w then scanned my reciever for to see what channels i was recieving, turned out it wasnt 1w at first attemt then found another signal scanned again and got canal and digitv, adjusted the dish slightly to get maximum signal on reciever and then did a blind scan and got all channels. Uploaded cam with new underworld and key bin then cleared all channels

Thanks for the info m8 I am having trouble trying to get allignment right, from the fixed position for 19.2e did you move dish clockwise and roughly how far inches or feet.Thanks for the help.

Hi i have a 85cm triax dish motorised and get almost everything i want except 30W most of 8W and NONE of 7W im guessing i need a bigger dish for them. i loose most of 0.8W in bad weather i only keep like canals thats it till weather clears im going to get a bigger dish in the summer.

I think I have to invest in a bigger dish as well as I cant receive 0.8w at all, what kind of receiver are you using.

In central London I had a 1.1m dish which gave me great signal during the day but it started going off around midnight and was absolutely terribly during bad weather.
