Euronews on Nimiq2?

[paults2]

Has anyone picked up Euronews on Nimiq2? Lyngsat has it listed as FTA on Nimiq2, 12399 MHz, right-circular polarity.

They're there, but linear polarity not circular. I can't remember if it's H or V.

Not correct. All the BV channels on Nimiq 1 and 2 are circular.

you are correct, they are circular, right = vertical, left=horizontal

Is it possible to recieve circular polarity video with a Fortec FSKU-LNB? That's what I'm using and it's coming in good.

Yes, it is possible, BUT you can only get very few circular using linear lnbf.

I'm picking up Euronews from Nimiq2 TP 12399. It's FTA and my pic quality is good, but there is just enough signal strength to keep the pic from tiling. I'm using a 40 inch wide oval dish and a linear feed. My location is Ohio, USA. I'm also picking up the Polskie radio station on 12545.

I'm picking up the radio stations on Nimiq1, TP 12124, with the same dish. It appears that the other TPs on Nimiq1 are too weak to pick up the other radio stations using a linear feed on a circularly polarized signal.
