Hello to all, my 1st post. has anyone noticed the Nasa TV listing for i701 on Lyngsat. Just tried it nobody home? has anybody confirmed this?<br /><br />rgds Craig.

Yes its there, trouble is the Symbol rate is very low and most receivers don't like it, I tried it on my Nokia and its no good, but was ok with my Prosat FTA box using a 4.2M dish.<br />Phil

Gee and I thought my 3m dish was an eye sore for my neighbours.<br /><br />4.2m must create a great view for them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Thats why I live on acreage

I had a 5m, it kept the neighbours amused for years. I wish I had acreage. :-( But we have a 32m at work, and I just had a look for the carrier. It is there, but our best satrxer can only do as low as 1Msps. Doh !!<br /><br />I haven't ever thought much about it, but small carriers don't need as big an antenna. I might have to get me a prosat like phil has and give it a go. What sort of traffic is on it ?

Well i have tried my topfield 4000 pvr, Humax 5400 and my dreambox, my nokia is my last hope. If it doesnt work i will be in the market for a STB that works.<br /><br />PS: my neighbours dont mind the five antenas in my yard. the 3.2 is the most talked about though...

craigx<br />I'm using a 4.3 and the signal strenth is not to good? don't know why it on a western hemi it should be ok

Do u pick up the other channels on the right polarity, whats the signal strenth there

I'm using a 17m dish... I have no problems getting a carrier :-)

17M dish Trucking hell, send me a pic, or is that a typo

Only a couple of blokes in FNQ get it apparently, on big dishes!

Yes same here.

Actually we have 3 x 17 metres dishes, 1 x 32m dish, 2 x 11m and 1 x 4.8m dish.<br /><br />http://www.austech.info/forums/show...perpage=15&display=&pagenumber=9<br /><br />My pictures are on my other compter at the moment and I'm having ISP issues today. The link to this thread should give you a few good pics.<br />Oxford Falls is the picture I'm refering too.<br />The other sites where we work, Gnangara, Hong Kong & Bendigo also have some nice clusters of antennas that we get to play with.<br /> Generally one antenna is kept tracking on the same satellite, but it is not hard just to pick off a spare coaxial port and connect it to a spare decoder somewhere. If a whole antenna is offline, then that just makes it more fun if we want it for monitoring another satellite that we don't have traffic on.
