Receiving Portsdown 23cms (across the shack) on Freesat box

Post by gi3vaf » Sat Apr 28, 2018 1:59 pm

Without giving myself a sore head with the math I deleted the preset satellites and added a new one called '23'. Then I did a blind scan and it found the signal from the portsdown both as a vertical and as a horizontal channel. I was using a piece of wire for the antenna and a cheap 'vehicle security' TFT monitor. The latter might be useful for a portable setup.
