Hotbird Reception in Punjab (India)

[mehra]

Friends, I managed to receive 299 channels in 18 Transponders from Hotbird 13 E in Punjab. My setup is 180 cm Ku band Tx Rx Prodelin fiber offset dish with Sharp LNB. One transponder is very weak and channels are with “still” problem. Most FTA channels are smooth. Results are not satisfying as I should receive a lot more channels with such a setup. Moreover please be informed that there is absolutely nothing FTA worth watching. This is just a hobby that I invested in it. Pointing a 70 cm dish to INSAT with a cheap Rs. 500 receiver will be more satisfying. DON’T waste your money and time if you want it FTA. Otherwise with subscription it may be OK. I would love to help the trackers, and queries are welcome.

Setup pics and screenshots are from post # 10 onwards.

Yes hotbirds are easily accessible in punjab. Few months back when i tuned my dish for hotbird 9 degree got approximately 7hundred channels with good signal.

Dear Punjabiveer I cant understand why I am not getting sufficient no. of channels. Almost for all transponders strength is 82% and quality is more than 70%. Channels re only 300. Any idea ??

Not confirmed. I used 6 feet ku band dish.
