Nagra signals in Latin America...? FTA?
|
Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 30 Registered: Jun-06 | Ok some may remember my post asking about DTV in Latin America... Since that seems costly, that's out. Next question: Searching through Sat maps, it seems that Amazonas at 61 is pointing to most of Mercosur. On top of that, it seems to operate on Nagra 2. Anybody know if the updates for the FTAs (VS in particular, but others if necessary) will be able to take care of those channels? Lastly, some of the channels on that bird use "Conax" (for Telmex TV). Any way to pull these? Thanks |

Dunno cuz there is no specs But I would guess a 1.2 meter or at least 90CM But many traila and error Yo can ask me anytime I like projects that no one tried before Keep in mind Even beam is projected to south america It still can be seen in other parts of the world with no data specs it's any one's guess Projected to South America but can't be blocked beyond the region |

Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 31 Registered: Jun-06 | Ok so DTV is definitely out, too cost prohibitive. I've seen that CW has bins for Amazonas now, any other brands have any? I'm currently in Paraguay, so that would mean "45-47" according to the Lyngsat map... meaning 65cm-1.05meter dish, great... What about LNBs and such? Regular LNB or DPP LNB? We're buying some land, and out in the country here its hard enough to get cable or anything else, so might as well do my own little projects for some television at least  As far as where they're projected, that I definitely understand. I was hoping it was possible to pick up the 110 and 119 birds (or even 61.5) from DN, but that doesnt seem too likely where I am, or is it? |

If I were yo, get a 90CM which is about 36" and a motor Or 1.2Meter dish which is about 48" with C/Ku LNB and a motor Yo can get tons of channels from South America on both C-band and ku band Amazonas is a standard Ku band LNB 11.7G to 12.2GHz Size of the dish depends on where yo live I can help yo get whatever yo want VS has better tuners VS, SV or CW any of them can do Nagra-2 |

Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 32 Registered: Jun-06 | Any source to get the 90cm from in Paraguay? The receiver and stuff I'm going back home (Canada) in 3-4weeks for a week, so I can pick that (and anything else that isnt available here) up. I agree with VS being the better tuners, I have 3 of them back home, a Pro, Ultra, and an Xtreme. However, I heard that none of them were able to do Amazonas (even though it is nagra... different key rolls I guess?), and that CW release a Nagra update a week or two ago for the CW800 I think? You mentioned a motor... If its only 61.0 thats in the air for South America (I mostly want it for for movies and english channels since there's a major lack of those), do I really need a motor or are there some birds that I missed? I'm guessing the C/Ku band LNB isnt the same as the regular DN LNBs (legacy ones)? Or is it? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3226 Registered: Oct-06 | DN LNBs are for Circular polarity using small dish For Amazonas yo'll need Linear Polarity LNB which is known as Standard Ku LNB Or KuLo 11.7G to 12.2GHZ Best to buy LNB by frequency This is one of the best Standard LNBF I tested http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-of-2-Techsat-Tracker-II-0-2dB-Linear-Ku-Dish-LNB_W0QQite mZ360079229853QQihZ023QQcategoryZ149971QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem As far as VS don't work on Amazonas I don't think is true It all depends on when did that happen But in any case CW is good receiver |

Bronze Member Username: MwarriorPost Number: 34 Registered: Jun-06 | Looks good, I'll order one of those when I get back. As far as VS vs CW, I'd prefer to use VS since I haev 3 at home and one was in my room so I dont need it there when I'm in South America. Do you know if its the latest update that will pickup and autoroll for Amazonas? Or do I have to manually enter keys? If so any idea where to get them? Most forums are geared towards DN. The channel list seems to be impressive though. Also you said earlier about a motor... are there more birds I can pickup from here than just the Amazonas one? If so any idea which ones? Thanks again |
