interesting, with my 2.4m and circular lnb also 6 degrees off, I'm far from locking this TP today

do you know how much dB difference do you have if you compare having the LNB in focus vs. 6 degrees off? I wonder if my loss is due to the LNB position or some trees that might be in the way

I think your problem should be the trees because I have also the cband lnb at 6° off the focus on the laminas 1.8m with same snr.

The difference between focus and not in the focus is about 1 / 1.5 db on a 1.8m

According to satbeams.com, half of France is getting stronger signal from 40W, are you by any chance located in the south? That would help explaining some of the signal difference. Las time I tried with the circular LNBF in focus, I was getting much stronger signal (up to 3dB better) so I think I still have to experiment with the off-focus LNBF placement. Now I've just cut the scalar ring to fit the LNBs closer together and I'm using AVCOMM polarizer but still far from "just" 1-1.5dB difference.

Yes, I'm in the circle 41dB
PS: even if 1.30m recommended dish size is TOO small.

could someone please check Fox transponders 3723L and 3803R? Last 2 days the signal is down by 2-3dB compared to last week... other TPs are about the same for me...

This is a scan done with a Zinwell LNB in focus (2.4m dish). I haven't had time to fine tune the LNB position. But even like this it is obvious that something is wrong with your signal path...

TV Brasil HD changed FEC to 3/5, now lockable on my 2.4m dish with the LNB 6 degrees off focus
... or maybe the FEC was never 3/4 despite reports on other sites

what's up with 3740-3780L? There's clearly something but too weak for me to lock... is it still that digicipher mux which used to be at 3763L? The spectrum shape looks different but maybe that's because I replaced the LNBF?

Hi drhans,

sorry for my late reply here.

I see, that nothing has changed here on 3764 L. All encrypted without IDs.

PS: I probably have no clear view on this satellite, according my signal.

Along with a few other satellite projects that are currently in progress, we still keep testing all TBS cards as we go along.
One may say, it`s not a big deal to do such tests. Well, good and relevant tests take lots of time, patiente and effort. But as you can see, it pays off!

TBS 6522 - sensitivity tests.

If TBS 6983/6903 are great, TBS 6522 sets a new limit!
Those tests have been done several times, the player was completely closed down and open when a device was switched. DVB Dream was used for Prof 7301 because the latest version of Smart DVB causes Prof to crash. But on the end of the day it doesn`t change anything on the fact that there`s only one card that could fully and freeze free provide picture and sound on this station/transponder.

Pictures say it all.

Be independent and your TV screen will never be the same.

What do you mean by "sensitivity"? Does 6522 work better with lower SNR than the other tuners?

btw NTN24 works fine over here with TBS 5925 (using Crazycats streamreaderBDA), although I see occassional pixelation right now, but that might be because of low signal (jumping between 7.8-8.1 dB)
