Re PNG NBC TV on 172E

Post by gater140 »

Hi is anyone getting the Png satellite tv channel NBC on 172E?.or know the circumstances of its power drop.
It was coming in great on north east coast of Australia on 2 3 meter mesh great then it died.about 1 - months,ago.
Signal strength went from 66 down to 63

4196H SR 1415

Dont really want to go to a bigger dish (understand partially locks on 3 meter mesh in new zealand)

Thanks

Try a wifi / cell phone ring around the LNB scaller ring.
I did this for a client and it brought the signal up again.
See this post by iq180
I just cut a 40-50mm wide strip of sheet metal and taped it on with insulation tape.

My motor dish for 172 c band has lost the return signal pulse wire for the actuator. I need to climb up and check it, so I can not move at the moment.
Last I had that was 2 weeks back with a 3m, and then just got it, but I'm way south in Christchurch.

Have brought extended scale ring which promises to increase gain.dont think it's the problem.NBC have obssoletly reduced power. Larger dish may be only option.

Really need someone with a TBS tuner card to look at the signal.
I would usually ask Craig at apsattv but lost his email address.

Wind must have moved dish slightly
Moved dish slightly north and got another 2 db. Enough to lock on 68 signal quality. Used older receiver that get a low SR of 1415.
Dry here so clay soil cracked. May be a contributing factor to dish moving.
