I think it more likely to be one of the PC issues I mentioned, but try a longer RF lead as a test. The RF gain is in the LNB, so longer cables can be tolerated. David -- SatSignal Software -

Maybe the repeater USB cable isn't best idea. Most of the pictures are incomplete.

There's a lot of good advice in the EUMETSAT guides for each receiver type. The best guide to performance is the Link Margin, which should be at least 4 dB for most reliable reception. For example

Thank you! Is there any good tutorial for any from these programs? I also get often missed parts error. Do I need to improve SNR?

Giftmacher You never get plain images but satellite data from special instruments you can produce images from. To produce images you can buy David's programs, you can try Hugo's EUMETCastView or Rob's

Hi all, newbie here. Yesterday TBS 5927 USB arrived and I completed the hardware for reception. Today I was able to find the EUTELSAT-10 satellite and achieve signal lock with SNR of 11.

David, Yes, hadn't thought about that. However that would be the case in the failure of 10-A. But this could be achieved (barring fir trees) with a 3 degree offset LNB. But as Ian and Douglas said

Graham This card replaces 4 receivers SR1 for the price of app. half an SR1. I have never seen an SR1 perform the way I just described. Yes, that's AFAIK the shop Christian Peters ordered his card

Well, that would be nice, except for the thousands of users who would need to get contractors in to re-align their antennas! Mind you, I will look with my spare LNB feed to see what a non-aligned

Hi Ernst Thanks for the info Are these cards any improvement on the SR1 ? I assume these https://shop.tbsdtv.com/tbs6909x-dvbs2-octa-tuner-pcie-card-p-207.html would have the fix Re FY3D I did run

Graham The TBS-6909 does NOT work for EUMETCast! You need a TBS-6909X. This latter card comes as TBS-6909X V11 built 2018/2019 and as TBS-6909X V2 built 2020. Mike and I tested the TBS-6909X V11 in

=========================================================== John I wouldn't call it wonderful news for those of us up north as the chances of Hotbird 13 ever being used for Eumetcast are next to

Hello All, OK, OK! I should have read the EUMETSAT notification properly. Damn, damn, damn, again. If EUMETSAT are reserving these two transponder on Hot Bird instead of 21 E, wouldn't it be better to

Hi Ernst What is the difference between the TBS 6909 and the TBS 6909X V2 or would either do Regards Graham

Hello All, I meant to attach the new downlink power level plot many of you will enjoy in my last post. Goodness, here in southern England the predicted power level will go up from 48 dBW to 53

Hi Proper Job Never got my signal above 12db with my 110cm down here in Cornwall Jan Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hugo and All, Damn, damn, damn, This is wonderful news for 'those up north ' and in Ireland. But my SNR with a 1 m dish and SR1 on TP 1 has been 'quite high' over the last few weeks at 13.3 dB to

Hi All That's good news for all EUMETCast reception stations in the U.K. (in case of an Eutelsat 10 failure 13°E is certainly far better than 21°E). It's even more good news for people using TBS
