How to Set Up Satellite Dish for Hotbird 13E with Skystar 2: Installation & Signal Guide

you could use an analog tuner. And set the plate to the astra channels then slightly left (looking at the antenna) and you will have the hotbird. The conventer should be vertical.

If you have never done it, it is best to borrow an analog tuner from someone for a few minutes, otherwise you will tire yourself out terribly.

you can also buy a signal meter such as a Satfinder
kisses,

Eh colleagues, do not exaggerate, if you want, you can do it :P

My tips, choose a FTA channel, it can be VIVA POLSKA, then go see if some neighbor has a number or other antenna set up, you will have a more or less view in which way it should look Then the search remains, finding is not that difficult if you have a little patience. Let me tell you that I have HB set up now - as if you were pointing the antenna at the sun at 12-13

Hello
It's best to buy a Satfinder meter and that's it. One help from a friend for assembly and there is a free antenna alignment tool. you have a polished signal to the max.

Hello gentlemen ... Pytanko! And why are you making the boy's life so difficult? If he knew what an azimuth is, an angle of el. etc, it wouldn't ask such Questions: How do I set up the antenna on hb !! After all, it is literally simplicity, loosening one screw (one is enough) from the antenna holder and turns the antenna to the right, standing behind it at the back, looking around (radiator) of the converter, and tilts from 6 - 8 cm (to the right if it was previously on the Astra ). After the topic !! By the way, I do not know how it is further in Poland, but in my place in the north, the converter is placed straight !!! lost signal !! Our converters give at least 20-35C to the left. Then the BDB signal !! Once he gets the practice, it will take him a moment to switch to the eye !! I went crazy with the analog antenna for over 5 years, I was working as a turntable, and it was in the whole orbit !! The practice was useful, because today I will take a look and I know if it is standing right or wrong! About the meters ??? Sat Finder ... it's crap !!! Every day I deal with the assembly of C + etc. I have this crap, I assemble ... and it is in a drawer! The indications are wrong !! Remember that such a satfinder does not show the signal strength from the satellite but from the transponder !! My eye is working better now ... Like I said! Loosen the screws of the antenna, stand behind it, look at the center of the converter, bend the antenna to the right 6-8 cm, and then look for a signal! Alternatively, when the level is low, still adjust it slightly to the right or left, until the signal is OK !!

I have a question. he catches only tvn dune and tv5 monde europe from hotbird, but he is terrible. how to catch polonia and other programs?
on the tuner I have a scale only from 10,000 to 11,449 polonia, for example, it is outside this compartment. what to do?

You will not find POLONI on Hotbird - it has not been there for a long time.

Hello.
I have a question.
I live in a block on the second floor and I would like to buy a satellite set, and if I was aiming at 13 E, I might have a problem because I will probably aim at a 10-story block, which is rather impassable, and the cooperative will not allow me to mount the plate on the roof and I don't know if the neighbors would like it that there is a cable next to their balconies. People, give me some advice, just don't write me things like: move around, break the obstacle-block, etc.

A similar problem was raised a few days ago. See topic: Antena sat. Behind the glass. Here, the KONDENSATOR column refers to Art. 684 KC and goggles - antenna law. I haven't checked this, but maybe it's worth it. Check it out, maybe it will help you.

I have a puzzle for you
I am a complete layman, I live in Italy
I just got a set of digits and I have to install it myself now
Connecting the cables shouldn't make the problem worse for me with the installation of the plate and setting it up.
will you help ??

It is no longer possible, you have written what and how to open the links azimuth for Italy, almost the same as our elevation, only different, where in Italy is this puzzle?

what links?

@morelexx, after all, you got the answer here: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic908452.html, on the same topic, you probably got lost where what are you writing? And it is about the SMWLink program, I also write about it there

I am not lost
I wrote on several topics on purpose, it was about quick and targeted help
Thanks for the response, we will see what I require
regards

I have exactly the same problem, but my picture is perfect, what should I do to have more thx channels

Hello
If it's an analog tuner you don't do anything, there are simply no more channels.
If it's a digital tuner, there may be several reasons:
-bad channel list (out of date)
- wrong antenna position
- damaged converter

Today I got a sat tuner from TNK and so I screwed it all up, but on the screen there was no signal on the TNK, they said it was the set's fault. And I wonder, maybe it's the fault of the converter because he is supposed to be teenagers and maybe he does not want to work with the digital one or the antenna is set to the neighbor's panties instead of the satellite.

Hello, replace the converter and set the antenna correctly.
Greetings

Hello, I have a problem similar to a few people above - only tv5 monde europe bathes on the hotbird. It's in my parents' house and I don't know how the situation changed, but other programs have apparently disappeared since some time. There are a lot of them on the Astra. The hardware model is a pace psr 800 - is it possible the hardware is out of order? The frequencies that can be set in it are around 12500 to 13500 and all the program lists have values outside this scale ... but it used to be fine ... please, quickly answer because I want to buy a CP today for parents and I do not know if it will work and if the converter is ok - he's probably 10 years old

Hello, Pace psr-800 is an analog tuner ... and on the HB there are only two programs left in the analog transmission.
The converter probably needs to be replaced.
