garethbrunt Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi all, looking for help from those with knowledge of satellite receiver setup. I have a basic black dish PSI Star S7 dish receiver thta currently points to Thaicom 2/5c-band. I however want to move to Asia sat 4. However when I move the dish to the correct position I get absolutley no signal, same with all other sats too, asia sat 2, 3 etc so im obviously missing something. Is there anything I need to change in receiver settings? On another note, channels displayed in the listings such as Money Channel and entrapeneur channel are not present, is this the norm or are some viwers of thaicom2/5 able to see these channels. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncl Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 There is nothing on AS4 these days after the HITS mux left. Only a few DVB IP data channels. So maybe this is why you can not find it. Use this link to see what is on what satellite - http://www.lyngsat.com/asia and set your receiver to an active channel shown on the lists, and then search the sky with your dish. Also look at dish pointer to help you, it even has an iPhone app to help you more - http://www.dishpointer.com/ Your Location Latitude: 13.7234° Longitude: 100.4762° Name: 100.5E Asiasat 2 Distance: 36005km Elevation: 73.9° Azimuth (true): 179.9° Azimuth (magn.): 180.8° LNB Skew [?]: -0.1° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyh Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Keep in ming that the LNB needs to be rotated 90 degrees for some satellites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethbrunt Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 It does? Does this mean that the lnb number also has to be changed? Does anyone have advice on the satellite with the 'most' English speaking channels? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Keep in ming that the LNB needs to be rotated 90 degrees for some satellites. Not necessarily, a lot of LNB's can switch between horizontal and vertical polarization, but this would obviously require a receiver properly programmed to control said LNB! There's a bit more to satellite reception then just aiming the dish at the proper bird I know a fair bit about it, but prefer to get a pro in who likely will get it over with in 5 minutes and 500 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
