I have my own personal question about my
BSC621, I look around the other threads to avoid highjacking previous threads on the subject.
As the experts who already helped me setting up my
C band dish know, my
installation in general has been a success.
My 6 feet antenna is running with an
actuator from SATMEX 5 thru PAS1R.
Here comes the question.
My C band side is an absolute success after the initial focal distance adjustment and 0° skew @ AMC5 but the Ku side seems to be not as good as it is supposed to be if I compare the signal quality from the days I was using a 76cm winegard with a Fortec 0.4dB LNB.
For example at AMC5 the Telemundo transponder at 11900 with the winegard I use to receive at 98% quality, now with the 6 footer 60% maximum. Telemundo is the strongest on this satellite.
Another example at
G25 on Ku I was able to see almost every transponder with signal quality ranging 40% to 80%.
Now the only transponder I can see is 12177 with the christian channels at about 40% with the 6 footer.
I use to see 12177 at 80% with the 76cm winegard.
AMC4 Ku is another example 3ABN in spanish was between 95% and 100% with my winegard now with the 6 footer it barely makes 40% quality.
As said before C band is working beautiful, signal quality on all satellites is good. I cannot compare with anything else as I never had a C band dish.
With this problem I lost a bunch a good channels on G25 Ku that I would like to see again.
Do I have to adjust focal distance while tuning Ku instead of C band? In other words optimize in reference to Ku.
Is this a typical behavior of the large dishes on Ku?
I'm I doing something wrong?
