    Default Asiasat 5 Globcast TP

    On Asiasat 5 100.5 East there's a Globcast TP showing on lyngsat. Had lots of request from Arabic community but don't seem to get it on a 2.3m dish. Getting everything showing on lyngsat except the 4080MHz transponder getting good gain and signal looks good on the spectrum analyser but No quality No lock. did any c banders had any luck on a 2.3m dish ?

    The main russian channels (channel one, RTR and Katyusha have moved across to here. Gonna have to adjust my lnb to get better coverage on this one. ATM it drops out a lot and I lose the signal . I will report back and see if I can get 24 hr. coverage.

    I have managed to get an extra 4% signal on this Transponder. However I only have 12 hours of coverage. I moved the dish , tweaked my lnb to get that. All the other TP's I dont have this problem. Mrs isnt happy ! I'm in Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

    Looks like they added more power to this transponder. My signal jumped up on its own and now I have 24 hours coverage. Signal jumped up to a constant SNR 63% and AGC 80% on my octagon SF8008. Maybe someone else can try and see if its improved as well.

    If you are using a standrd LNB consider upraging to an LNB with inbuilt 5G filter.
