Well that'll be why I can't find the Es'hail 2 beacon That's Hellas Sat 3. I turned the dish the wrong way.... Es'hail 2 is south of Astra 2. Buuuhhh
I'm pretty sure that's not checked the Network ID.
Hi there Astra!
@philpem oh that's a cool meter! does it grok dvb-s2?
@vxo it does! The more expensive version does h265 but this is DVBS/S2/S2x and MPEG2/MPEG4 only. Fine for Astra and QO100.
@philpem
As long as the device can give me an RSL reading, C/N, and list the services on a transponder, it'll answer all my questions
@vxo It can, but I think you have to scan the bird (or at least spot-scan the transponder) to get the service list.
It doesn't have a full transponder list - normally you scan the home transponder in Network mode (it has a list of homes and alternates) and it scans the whole orbital slot using the NIT data.
RSL is the usual percentage number, decibel C/N is on the second Info panel when you tune to a channel. Hit Mute if you don't want the channel audio.
