1. DVB-S2 8PSK
2. extremely skinny signal, only a SR of 1784
best I could do was 7 dB snr on the BUD, and it requires 7.9 dB minimum to lock. Had it scanned in on my STB as 11846 V 1784, so presumably I HAVE received it in the past.
With Skinny signals like that, ya may need to enter it manually in the STB, and let it sit there for a while to see if it'll lock.
Can take tens of seconds to lock on to skinny signals depending on the demod chip used, so on.'
I was 0.9 dB below the threshold when I tried, so I couldn't lock it all either. But it is definitely still there
and I obviously received it sometime in the past or it wouldn't be stored in my STB.
I always assumed that each band have its own typical dish size. Now I understand there are some skinny Ku signals that needs a highly efficient C band equipment to get. Good to know for future challenge
By "Skinny" I am referring to the bandwidth of the signal, ie how much spectrum it is occupying, which is proportional to the Symbol rate being used.
Extremely small in this case...
Don't confuse with beamwidth.
I will check the other Freq sometime too thx Jorgek.
I have seen pretty strong "skinny" signals be fairly difficult to lock also.
Some demods may be better than others in that regard.
"Skinny" signals also tend to be of low quality as well, so not many people bother worrying about them.
