Not reliably if at all.

From the above it looks like in your area the EIRP(DBW) is around 48
So you would need a 65cm dish minimum. : (


Found this link to a post from some months ago where I tried something similar........

Help me out here
With my old pansat2500 i pick up fox with no problem.
But with the fortec it brakes up. what can i do to stop it from breaking up?

 

[PSB]

Use the Pansat 2500 for Fox ; )

Are we still talking an 18" dish?

 

[Tommyboy]

I sold the pansat it i think it was a clone.
No on the 18in i have a 10ft c/ku band

Tough one! Any Idea's Guys?

Did you Power Scan KUIL or TP Scan? Try changing the Symbol Rate up or down several clicks or the same with the Frequency.

With all the storms over Texas I'm not surprised.
And at other times some TPs just come in stronger/weaker for no known reason
that I can see.

So you have an 18" round dish like the ones used for DTV and DishNetwork?
What is the make and model of the LNBF?
This is pointed at AMC4?

I have used 18" dishs on the DN and Bell birds. I also was able to get some analog KU with them. I have tried digital KU with some mods I made and LNBF hold a guy sent me, thanks, but did not get anything yet. I am in NY tho.

Today before i went to work at 12.00pm it was 72% and now its back to 39% at 10pm
