30.0 W. on a 30" Winegard ?

[bigzzz]

Hello Everybody,

My objective is to recieve 30.0 W. (FTA, Cubavision) on a fixed dish.

I live in N.E. Michigan, my zip code is 49753.

I am looking at purchasing a Winegard 76 cm. (30") dish.

My question:
Is this dish big enough to recieve Cubavision reliably?

FYI: I have a 1M. Motorized Winegard dish working good,
but I DO NOT have LOS at that location. (I have a tree in the way!)

Thanks for any Input or Suggestions.
Bigzzz

It's a pretty strong satellite. You are more East than me, You should be able to get the Cubavision and Fashion One TPs. There are some weaker TPs I doubt you will get.

I think it'll work. I have a motorized setup with a 1.0m dish and get from 30W to 125W in Toronto, not too far from you.

I also think it will work. SatBeams - Satellite Coverage Maps - Sat Footprint Hispasat 1C (DFS 3) / Hispasat 1D / Hispasat 1E / XTAR-LANT (Spainsat 1)
Been meaning to put a CM .7(30 inch) at 30W to compare with my 1.2m that's been there for a while now.

Let us know how well this works for you. I too want to install a dedicated small dish for 30.0 W.

I have that 30" Winegard dish you're talking about, and I get 50 some TV channels on 30W. The Cuban channels come in just fine here in Ohio.

I've used a 76cm dish for 30W here in Minnesota. 8 elevation but it works

For starters you'll lose Canal LuzHD (12076V 4000SR, 8PSK DVB-S2) which is barely receivable on a 36" dish.

What is the FEC? Pilot off?

 

[tanka]

I have the 12076v 4000 8psk dvbs2 on the vantage vt1 and 1100 hd no problem quality 84 on the azbox same times missing the signal and pilot on and off working the same on the azbox on the vantage I don,t no the pilot are automatic only need to put 8psk s2

I have used the Winegard DS-2076 dish on a motor and pulled in Hispasat @ 30W fine. I am near Omaha, NE so I am getting further out west and still able to receive it reliably. I am not too certain of the total number of channels which were logged in, but 52 TV chs sounds about right.

Obviously, my dish elevation is quite low, but I have (correction: used to have before I moved) a perfect LOS.
The Cubavision TP came booming in somewhere in the mid 80% signal quality range.

FEC is 3/4. AZBox Me pulls it in without my having to worry about pilot on or off. Try either on/off to see what works.
