Why the Stanice / CT1 etc is poor in Limerick

    This is the beam used for the harder to get 28.5 Eurobird
    285e_3.gif

    I can see why I get 0.5dB and 40% quality compared with 11dB and 100% quality on Astra 2D channels.

    Anyone else Limerick / West / SthWest / Nrth West getting the FTA channels listed here:
    http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.shtml

    Esp. the lower bitrate ones not available to Digibox?

    Note: Many need a not-Digibox.. I'm using a PC. One of my Digiboxes can get Stanice / CT1 (occasionally FTA) on 12607 H and the other doesn't.

    Watty, Although those Czech channels use the Eurobird 28.5 Satellite, they are they are on a spot beam aimed at central Europe, so ideally you would need an 80CM dish and a sensitive LNB.

    I was lucky to tune it in here in waterford

    Stanice O picture keeps on breaking up and there is little to no sound.Can't get CT1 at all even when unencrypted. But it doesn't really matter can't understand them anyway !

    It hard to tell on the map, but Cork and limerik look like 7th ring out. Need big dish!

    I'm using an 80/90 but is old (and was free) and the "sky" 28.2 LNB is "offset" the dish points at Astra19E

    Strange thing this,
    i have an 80cm dish,
    on my oldest digibox, a grundig model,
    CT1 and CT2(when unencrypted) are fine and Stanice O
    breaks up.

    On my newer Panasonic box, they all show fine, but Stanice O, has no sound(no matter how many times i try to re-add it, it doesnt work). But there is no break up on this box.

    On my FTA box, a humax, all channels have fine picutre and sound. Even back in the day when we had Galaxie Sport, this box showed it perfectly.

    I would suggest that the beam, as you have pointed out is ultra sensitive to conditions, technology and your dish in our part of the world.

    Glad I'm not the only one! :rolleyes:

    I also get good picture on my digibox but no sound whatsoever. Also a Panny digibox btw! :confused:
