Wave Frontier Toroidal T-90 Satellite Dish

[buck12]

How sensitive are your lnbs on the weak satellites. I just bought a T90 and am going to try t set it up like your doing and run multible receivers. That was the biggest selling point for me instant channel changing for all recievers. I'm still gathering up all my parts to make it work. I was look around on the net and ran across a picture the person had made a bracket and extended past the end of the bar to pick up does satellite that your not suppose to be able to get. The way it look like he was proably 6 inches pass the bar. He was based in europe though I don't know if that would make a difference or not but he had 13 lnbs on it. I thinking I proably should go with lnbs with a really low noise factor thats why I was wondering what you were using. I'm in Virginia.

Lets see if I remember what LNB's I'm using for each satellite

85 is a .4 LNB (dont know the name)
89 is a Sadoun dual .4
93 is a DMSI dual .5
97 is a Sadoun dual .4
101 is a Xtreme LNB .3
103 is a Sadoun dual .4
107 is a Sadoun single .3 (StarChoice sub)
110/119 are the special DBS reversed ones (have a Dish sub)
123 is a DMSI .4 LNB

85 gets above the threshold on my Pansat. AMC2 sucks here in MN due to the footprint and I normally can't keep a stable picture. The fact this can is a major plus
103 due to the oddball skew, once I skewed the LNB 25 degrees off, I got TONS of feeds that I havent seen before. All at good signal

I really didnt come across any weak signals other than the 85 satellite. 101 has a few weaker signals and thats because you need 3 degree spacing. I'm rigging it to get 101 so I know the signal sare lower than normal

Very nice review Iceberg. Keep this thread live with your updates and comments

Hi Iceberg,

Very nice set up (too much for me though).

Are you going to sell the dishes you don't need? If so, do you have the 90cm dish?

I wanted to PM you, but I don't know how to do it.

Cuong

I have the 90cm right now but I want to see if I can tweak Galaxy 10 to come in better. The "bad" transponder is pretty weak and if I can't get that signal up, I may have to put the 36" back up

I'll let ya know

Very nice review Iceberg. Keep this thread live with your updates and comments

will do!

yesterday I was ouot tweaking a few signals and running all the cables

[Iceberg]

well I went out tonight to see how far I can get away from the center and have signal.

I took a DBS LNB and switched the polarity on a couple TP's and started fishing for 129....took 10 seconds and bingo

45-47 quality on 129 TP 17 I think...so thats 26 off center

then went to the other side and put the LNB next to 85 and got 80 same TP for 82..which is 21 away...so my arc could be 47 right now

cant get 91 because the LNB wont fit in between 89 & 93 but might try something else

nice reveiw Ice maybe a nice addition in the future.

[Iceberg]

Well I did some work on it. After proving I can get more than 40 degrees I decided to go to work.

Switched from 83-123 and decided that 123 signal wasnt good enough so I'll use a separate dish for that

Picked 93 since that is my true south the skew was like +.38

Aimed LNB and raised dish about a degree and boom....90 on CBS News, 80 on Doc Scott, 90 on Azteca

Took all other LNB's off and tried at SBS6....15 on ONN
Did a little working and got it at 30...got a few feeds at 60

So we started adding LNB's
89..got ABCNewsOne at 90 and the scrambeld TP at 75
tried for 85 but with no feeds active, put it at 83 for now
added one for 79...NYN at 80, UEN at 60
added the one for 74

then the fun...lets try 2 degrees again....got the GBN at 99
even got a feed too

on the other side did 97 (most TP's between 80-90) and added one for 103
Put the SC LNB up for 107 and got that peaked and added the DBS for 110

Now right now I am maybe an inch off the arm for 119 (need an extra inch) so we'll rig that soon. But didnt have a holder for it (already have some coming)

Still havent added one for 101 yet because I ran out of KU LNB's

(I should have ordered a couple more duals the other day)

So when completed I'll have
72, 74, 79, 85 (or 83), 89, 93, 97, 101, 103, 107, 110, 119

47 degree spread and 12 LNB's...pretty nifty

Oh did I mention I love this dish

I am proud of you ICEBERG. This is the ultimate FTA hobby
