hughes lnb fss 19.7-20.2ghz p/n 1027441-0005 revK
I have just bought the same hughes ka lnb as satwyn from the usa,should be here by end of next week,then i have to decide do i move my fixed 2.4m dish.From 26 east to 9 east and keep it at 9 east permanently for sarosat.
you could first try the channel master 1.2m that's what i used the lnb was mounted vertical not horizontal as previously stated make sure it's the right way up all you need is some longer screws to attach to the lnb holder frequency display should be 11.185 no matter if 14 or 18v symbol rate 25000 also i used only the lnb no feed it seems that there will be another spot beam same frequency over england so there could be some problems when that beam is active

Are you by any chance Irish?
I ask, because at the end of the day you wont gain much by getting Saorsat (Irish news and current affairs).
Other than that it's all UK and USA programming....Eastenders with a commercial break anyone?
I am welsh and from swansea i have rte one through sky with an northern ireland sub,however i would save myself £19.50 a month with sarosat.I only want rte one so i can,watch shortland street.
Fair enough.
I live in Ireland, but I haven't a clue what Shortland Street is.
Can't remember the last time I watched Irish tv!
is it not possible to buy a one off card for rte like the freesat card we used to have here they used to cost £20 last time i bought one
No RTE is only part of the Sly Basic Package in Northing Ireland.
The same in the Republic.
What, exactly, is Sky?
Shortland Street is a New Zealand soap opera,broadcast on Rte One.
Must ask my sister, she lives in NZ.
Well the ka band lnb came this morning,here are my results using a 2.4m dish and AZBox receiver Signal 90% Quality 62%.
Hi guys' just looking at the posts bout Ka band lnb's - and thought you should check out
********************* - saorsat wont be fully op til Oct 2012, by then you may not get the overlap in Wales. If your in a good signal area in Wales, why not try upgrade DTT aerial (SaorView) its on UHF signal nowwhich is stronger than old VHF. Best info you will find is on *********************

Oops, somebody hasn't read the rules.
Hello all, consumer LNB's are seemingly soon to be available. For now most of us who want to get an early view are using modified hughnet LNB's from the US. See details of the DIY LNB at,
********************************* *************
the rte channels are now up and running reported elsewhere but i have not tested the signal has been reported as being reduced in power so if correct even harder to receive ouside the intended footprint i will give it a go when i get time it was ok on a channel master 1.2m before the signal drop so will see what size dish is needed now i have a 1.8m i can try a bit fiddly to mount the hughes lnb but things will improve with a proper lnbf when they come available
The power does indeed seem to be down. Even on an 'optimized' 80cm system with propoer feed.
******************* in Ireland have twin Ka Band LNB's in stock. 40mm collar so will fit all satellite dishes apart from sky dishes.
Hey satwyn,
The Signal probably won't be strong enough now to be received in Wales. It seems to be down 7dB and you would need the proper LNB and a hell of a dish. Even with the biggest dish it probably won't be possible in much of wales anymore.
There is no guarantee the other spots won't start broadcasting at any moment increasing the noise on the frequency.
I attempted to PM you but I need 15posts for that :(
Can u PM me?
They are for sale on an online auction site now. Search Ka LNB Saorsat
