OSCAM with Fransat Card

[white_westie]

Not sure what I centred my T90 on (long time ago now) - even added an extension bar at one end to see how wide I could go.........
I need to do some maintenance on mine - change some rusting bolts/nuts and then re-cable and realign it.
A job for later in the summer maybe.
Might try and get 5W on a standalone dish, but no room to put up a big dish.

I don't think you need a big dish. I'm getting 12dB on the French channels and around 9.5 - 10dB on the Italian ones - so if you can see RAI, then you should be getting sufficient signal on TF1 etc. Maybe it's the fact that the French channels are multistreamed? I don't know if the RAI channels are also multistreamed. What box and tuner are you using? The LNB wouldn't be relevant as regards multistreamed - it's the tuner.

I have an update, I decided to buy a Sky Zone 2 80cm dish for 5w alone, £25 on the bay, bargain! I already had the Labgear quattro LNb - as i have two four way Diseqc switches, so i can record and watch something at the same time on any channel. Anyway I put it up yesterday, a bit fiddly but I got there. I now get 11.8db on 10972 and 13-14 db on the French Multistream channels. I get all the channels perfectly now, so the Fransat card is unnecessary and will expire soon no doubt.

I now need to recentre my 1m dish on 19.2 and readjust the remaining Two LNB’s for 28 and 13 degrees. My wiring skills are a bit random, but this what it all looks like at the moment.

Download MisPlsLcnScan from the feeds (under SystemPlugins) and use that to do the channel scan. And afterwards the channels will be in the correct order.

I will have a look at that plugin, i didnt know about it - thanks. But, i have created a manual bouquet and manually added them from last scan, then sorted them using the red button. I am sure your method was much easier! I do use Bouquetmaker for the other satellites, but have set it not to delete all upon rescan...

I have to say i do love my Zgemma, i actually have three and use client mode in other rooms in the house. I just wish i had more tuners as quite often, I need to record two and watch a third channel.

Any tips always welcome...
