BEV receiver on T5...

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I read in another forum that a guy connected his BEV receiver on a H/V LNBF (or starchoice Dish) on T5 and was getting Some Arabic channel... could this work?
I never tried that.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I'm not talking about Illegal satellite reception here.
a BEV 2700 on a Starchoice 90Cm Dish pointed at T5 just tought to clear this out before...

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Yes, it can work. As long as the parameters (symbol rate, frequency, PID, etc) of the other, non-ExpressVu channels match that of those hardcoded into the receiver, you can receive FTA programming. Don't expect miracles and don't expect plentiful programming.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

does it has to be vertical or horizontal or 90o rotated?
and what TP should the receiver be at to receive the signal lock?

I have no idea about the polarization, however I know the LNBF on the E* dish is circularly polarized, while most Ku satellites are linearly polarized.

You can look up these channel descriptions at <a target="_blank" href=http://www.lyngsat.com>www.lyngsat.com</a>, but you'll need a reasonable idea where you're pointed (ie. to the east or west of Nimiq, for example)

I used a starchoice LNBF and Lyngsat have nothing on those Transponder.... but was worth the try.

[alexsoundeer]

i have make the test and i receve 8 channels whit and old
starchoice dish.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

what channels &amp; on what Bird! ...

[Greg921]

Probably T5 Ku 11898V SR 20000 FEC 3/4

Those are the ones. I tuned my Dishet receiver to tp 13,
and aimed my big dish there, with the C-band tuned to
ABC-W, a horiziontal channel.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

You also get the HitChannel radio station from Italy. OOO! Just what I was lookign for (ok they broadcast on the Internet...)

[ClassicSat]

How do you get them on a Dishnet/ExpressVu box?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

That's what I'm dying to know /forums/images/icons/smile.gif Imagine if the government actually succeeds in passing that stupid law banning C-band and KuBand FTA watching, we can just get another ExpressVu dish and hook it up to an FTA receiver. The Bell 'Culture' Police would never know &gt;:)

But I already asked this question and it seems an ordinary 18" or 24" dish aren't large enough to get KuBand (let alone C-band!).

[ClassicSat]

I meant How do I get that Italian radio station.

[alexsoundeer]

hit chanel is out of air since today
i dont know why
if anywone know where is this chanel now post it please

[Greg921]

Hits 102.5 Channel currently showing Color Bars only on T5

[ClassicSat]

How do I tune it though? All I get is the boquet with
Nile TV, Palastinian Channels, and the JRTV promo (on a dishnet receiver).

[Greg921]

Your not going to see Hits 102.5 with a BEV receiver.
Hits 102.5 has been at 11874H SR 22000 FEC 3/4 although not currently available.

You cannot manually tune with at BEV receiver. It is also only able to receive bouquets that have a SR of 20000.

Check the Lyngsat charts to see what you can receive.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I wonder why it only shows colour bars? maybe they broadcast during certain hours?

But they do stream on the Internet at http://www.hitchannel.it. You can choose to listen to the radio station (click on "Radio Live") or watch their video channel (click on "Radio Tv Live").

I was watching it last night and they had a special on videos with cartoons /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

&lt;I wonder why it only shows color bars? maybe they broadcast during certain hours?&gt;

This channel had been on 24/7 for many months until recently.
