@all, It has taken a while but as promised these are the pictures of the renovation works carried out on my 3-in-1 motorised COMSTAR dish recently. Brief sypnosis: 1) Jack was getting stuck in one position too frequently 2) Signal loss on mostly the KU lnb and circular C band 3) Troubleshooting results pointed to a weak LNB and too small jack wire So, off I went and swung into action. 1) Changed out circular C band lnb from STRONG K5 to K6 2) Changed out under-performing Ku premium 2 lazer lnb with Pauxis 0.1db lnb 3) Changed out regular jack wire and replaced with 1.5mm 4-core flex cable 4) Changed out under-performing so-called heavy duty jack in favor of regular 24inch jack Result: My dish is back and better. Ok, now to the pictures:

The 3 - in - 1 setup: Circular C - band LNB at the top, Pauxis 0.1db KU lnb at the middle (yellow plastic cover) and Linear C - band LNB at the bottom.

Strong C - band LNB. Be sure to open the blue cover and check the throat. A number is inscribed at the bottom - from k4 to k6. Presently K6 is still the highest grade. And for all those currently battling with interference from GSM and WIFI signals on their C-Band signal reception, STRONG C band LNB is your friend. Ever since I changed from SUPERMAX C band to STRONG, all that has been history. You can take my word for it.

Pauxis 0.1db KU - the LNb that saved the day. Ok, I must confess I've never really been a fan of pauxis (ever since my sad experience with their underperforming 0.3db single LNB) but I was blown away with the signal reception I got from this 0.1db twin LNB. It truely confirms that its noise figure is not just a stamp used as a marketing gimmick (which unfortunately is the case with most LNBs). I will truely recommend for anybody tracking DTH KU signals. You can't go wrong with this beauty!

Job completed! The finished dish pointing at Amos 5/KU. In this position using the 3-in-1 set up, you can recieve both Amos 5/Ku (middle LNB) and Arabsat 5/C (right hand side LNB) without moving the dish.

Next, I will be posting screen shots of various satellites positions and channels. And of course my annual list of tracking frequencies for C - band and KU DTH satellites applicable to South, East and West. Compilation in progress. Stay TUNED! ![]() 2 Likes |

Well, you tracked Intelsat 68.5'east not Astra 2f @28' east. What you have is MyTv sat. So to get Astra 2f for Multi tv, from front of the dish, move up about 30deg and left, up and left until you hit green. Use tp 12562v27000 to track (someone help confirm the tp, I no sure). Keep trying, soon you will start helping others like me. Goodluck, friend. |
