[tercuman]

hi,

i have been trying to get this satellite from glasgow for months but no luck!!

i have 1.1m motorised dish and i am interested in ligtv from kd packet.

can anyone please tell me if i can receive signal from this transporter?

thanks

You're looking at 120 - 150 cm up there possibly even 180+ for good reception.
Notoriously bad bird the further west you go from the centre of the footprint in Germany.

This is what I'm getting with a 125CM Gibertini with Channelmaster Feedhorn and Inverto C120 twin, bearing in mind I'm a lot further south and east than you are.

thanks for your reply,

so i have no chance of getting this channels with my 1.1m?

[Krikkitt]

I would say not.
You 'might' get a glimpse during freak atmospherics but in reality you going to need a bigger antenna if you have to have that satellite.

check the footprint on Lyngsat.

It's a bit optimistic to say the least Tony, which is unusual these days as they tend on the conservative side. Nilesat being a case in point.
Which suits tham I guess, as it's not worth turning the wick up on a transponder for a couple of hundred subs from the western UK

ive got the 125cm gibertini and i can get perfect signal on Kabel Deustchland channels ( 83% on a Dreambox ) but Cz ech link and slov ak link i get 71% unwatchable signal

[Krikkitt]

Not a bad guess then

@gov, consider the CM feedhorn and Inverto twin for your dish mate.
Works great !!.

mate thanks for that

I dont really need a twin output Inverto can i just get a Single output one?
How many db has it got to be?

[Krikkitt]

I don't need a twin either, but they are reported to give a better output than the single. The 0.3's are going on the auction site for £15 marked as 'Speciallist' LNB's

Edit,

Makes the Gibbi look the part IMHO.
