Intelsat805 in GTA

[CRASHER]

Hello Everyone
After Crow confirmed about 90% Quality in Canada with 33" dish. I bought all hardware. I think I should have waited. Because now crow flew away, and I could not lock into the sat. no matter what I do.
Someone please help me in setting it up

Bearing: 147 degrees Your dish must point to 147 degrees to see the satellite.
Elevation: 34.1 degrees You must elevate your dish to point 34.1 degrees up from level in order to see the satellite.

[CRASHER]

Thanks Little larry
Thats what I have trying to do past 3 days. I can aim at any dish or bell sat in less than 5 min. So I thought this would be also an 5 min. job.
But now some one saying that atleast 10' dish is needed to get intelsat 805 in GTA

[littlelarryjr]

10'? no I used to pickit up on a starchoice 48" cottage kit from muskoka's, you should be able to get it on a 30 or so in GTA.

P.S. Get a sat finder, makes life a whole lot easier

[CRASHER]

Thanks a lot, my investment did not go in drain. Still struggling to lock it.

I also tried to get 805 with a 33" dish, but my understanding is that you need a bigger dish possibly a 10' to get such low frequencies. But if you managed to get 805 with a 33" please can you share your experince with us. Thank You

33" Ku band dish will work. Check your your local freq on your LNB or at

33" Ku band dish will work. Check your your local freq 5150 STANDARD or at

Hi Crow, Glad you R back.
My LNB says 11700~12750, which is not even close to standard(5150) freq. of LNB.
The local freq. for intel-805 are already programmed in receiver.
The only thing I am thinking is to move the dish to another location.

[four_sexta]

Which channels are you planning to catch on Intelsat 805? To my understanding a 33 inch dish will only receive the KU channels and Intelsat 805 has no KU channels.

[four_sexta]

Intelsat 805 is C-band and not KU band. Visit lyngsat.com and see it for yourself.

[Crow 492]

Intelsat 805 is C-band and not KU band. I was reading the rong sat. And I'am SO SORRY for this mistacke.

[CRASHER]

Well this is interesting!
Lyngsat do mention freq. for channels between 3426~4190 MHz, which are of C-band. While Ku band is 10~12 GHz.
So how come Crow and LittleLarry tap into sat with smaller dish?

[Crow 492]

Read the top post befor TRASHING

[Raiderman]

So would I be able to get Intel 805 (55.5W) from California? I checked on Lyngsat and it lists 55.5 on the Atlantic side but I am not sure if we can get it from California. Any idea's or help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
RM

[Crow 492]

Yes you can get that sat but you will need a 6' to 10 ' C Band dish.

[Raiderman]

Sorry I am a newbie but are you talking about 6 to 10 feet dish?

[Crow 492]

Yes check in the STICKY free to air post to find out more info.

[Raiderman]

Thanks for all your help Crow and your quick response.

[CRASHER]

OK. If I get hold of an 8' dish. Can I tap into the bird in GTA?
Also will digiwave 7000 work on C band?

[Crow 492]

CRASHER yes it will work on C band and yes all FTA are able to get FREE TO AIR see FREE TO AIR POST STICKY.

Hope this helps
