Optus D2 defunct

[fisht99]

it needs a lnb that covers the 11ghz band

I have a 90cm dish with a 10700 lnb, any suggestions on the type of lnb I would require?

[apsattv]

As I wrote , one that covers the 11 ghz band

usually it will be listed on the sticker on the lnbf

[mtv]

A 10700 LNB will not receive those frequencies.

As mentioned, you'll need an LNB that covers the lower end of 11GHz, which a Ku universal LNB will do.

I want to re-aim my dish fromD2 to IS 19. Can anyone suggest which way I should move to get to is19?

Hello All,

Look i do have Digital Satellite Finder two off, But to find D1 and D2 i use APP on my Phone call Dish Align it worked for me fine, it give you Cumpas direction all the you need to do it.

Thank you

will have you sorted. Input your address and select 166E Intelsat 19. You'll see your rooftop and the pointing direction line... and all other alignment parameter.

What TBS card are you using? what mode did crazyscan report? CCM acm/vcm? 8psk 16 apsk etc? did you use 1mhz steppings?

Here are todays feeds
its likely fec 5/6 is the issue as you need 9dB +

11237 H Sr 7500 DVB-S2 8PSK Fec 2/3 Greyhounds
11274 H Sr 7500 DVB-S2 8PSK Fec 5/6 horses
11283 H Sr 7500 DVB-S2 8PSK Fec 5/6 Horses

Hi all,

Newbie first time poster also looking for help with identifying H3E (really appreciate the info/sharing already contained here-in:-) and wondering where to find a list of any daily feeds? or are these from scans of a dish already locked on?

Thank you

No daily lists, the info is generally scans from dishes already locked on.

thanks for the confirmation Pommie .. guessed as much .. cheers

It shouldn't be too hard to find even without any detail loaded into a receiver. You have Intelsat 19 at 166E then H3E at 169E then Eutelsat 172B at 172E then a big gap of nothing until 180E

H3E is active fulltime with non dvb signals so any satfinder old school needle type will ping on it.

Hey apsattv,

Thanks for this. I'm can easily find Intelsat 19 and yesterday confirmed Intelsat 18 at 180E. (with a Strong SRT4950E)

Recently exchanged a 12.25-12.75 GHz LNB for a Universal NJR2842A1 10.70-12.75 (22KHz switched Lo-Hi -confirmed)

Confident on 'seeing' H3E and Eutelsat 172B but the Strong not confirming it with channels. (I realise H3E's not always broadcasting)

I've a 'cable guy' mate coming 'to play' (beacon hunting!) this afternoon with his later model spectrum analyser, as he also needs to update data (with the Uni LNB) for H3E.

I'll let y'all know how we get on.

Cheers :-)

172e is always transmitting on the ku band, both low and high.

My GT Media GTX Combo (latest box) "Sees" NavyTV on 172e 12624H6750.
No other unit I have sees NavtTV. ApsatTV says this is this DVB_MPE format
There are about 8 TP's on high band H on 172e, but other TP's on V and low band.

You also may want to look at 152e.
Yesterday (Saturday Sept 23rd) I found 12527V5897 and while I watched the spectrum another TP powered up maybe 15-20MHz higher, also narrow SR of maybe 5000
Both were gone by 8pm NZST.
The second one did not scan and no channels.

Of note it is 6 months from the end of D2@152e. 31 Mar 2023
Any 6 month contracts for other sats will end now.
Yesterday a Auz race feed (WA late in the day) that has been on 166e Ku H was on 160e V. TBS 12670v7500 BISS.
The same day 152e powers up again.

Hi Owen,

Really appreciate your info .. really helpful .. actually all on this forum 'thank you' : -)

My 'cable guy' mate, unfortunately, a 'no show' due to his wife's newly broken wrist!! ouch!

I did spend some time with a borrowed HP spectrum analyser - some really disparate waveforms between the LNB's, however? anyone else experienced difference? (the dish remained static, just swapped out LNB's) but ran out of time. Plan to revisit Monday or Wednesday.

I'm confident I'm seeing Intelsat 19, Eutelsat 172 and Intelsat 18 all tuned successfully with the Strong STB. As well as H3E, based entirely on spectrum waveform at the coordinates you'd expect H3E to be 'hiding' at!!

Updates to follow.

Cheers,

John
