Digiwave Diamond and Satellite capacity of 64 entries

[regisma]

Hi,

Can you confirm to me if the limit of the Digiwave Diamond is to support no more than 64 satellites?

thanks

Regis

 

[Mr Tony]

why would you need more than 64 satellites?

Hi,

I have two LNB some satellites have a spectrum quite wide for FTA like the IntelSat 10-02 at 1.0W.

Someone explained me a trick so I can cover all the spectrum of it with two LNB.

The trick consist of create one satellite entry that handle the lower frequency and another one that is a clone of the first one but this second one will cover the higher frequencies. So if there is a limit it can be reached quite rapidely.

thanks

Regis

Are you talking about C-band or hi and low in Ku. Your univeral LNB takes care of the hi/low Ku.

 

[sharris]

doesn't matter. even if you did configure each sat for ku high/low or C and Ku band, theres only around 10 sats or so up there with FTA (maybe a few more). So if you have 64 slots, thats only 20+.

Hi,

If I use the Al Satellite Alignment, it is a free software and enter my latitude and my longitude it generate me the following list: (see below)

[Mr Tony]

some of those don't have a beam to the US/Canada

 

[regisma]

Oh!

Ok thanks!!!

I'm Still green in FTA

thanks

Reg

 

[Mr Tony]

Once you get east of 61.5, PAS9 has some KU but the rest are mostly C-band

 

[regisma]

OK

Just got a 33 inch dish ...

No room for a 6 foot one !

thanks

Regis

 

[Shawn95GT]

Check this list out:
http://www.lyngsat.com/america.html

The green and Yellow ones have Ku stuff on them.

Here is another piece of software similar to what you found, but it limits itself to what you're supposed to be able to see from the americas:

[Mr Tony]

I just checked and east of Echo 3 (61.5), the only ones that have KU band to the US are
PAS9-58
T11-37.5
Hispasats-30
T12-15

everything else is either C-Band or not aimed at US/Canada

 

[regisma]

Hi,

I just check and My tree hide 90 degree West up to 140 Degree West!

So if I'm right I do not miss much, I hope.

thanks

Regis
