Right now i am receiving the Regional Beam of Thaicom 5 (C band) on a 180 cm (6 ft) Universal dish.
Firstly my Solid HD S2 2100 receiver also picked up the channels of the global beam which needs 210 cm dish, on a 180 cm dish, but after blind scan today the receiver dropped down the weak transponders of the global beam.
Although it scanned the weak transponders belonging to the global beam first, i was unable to watch the channels of the global beam due to very weak signals on a 180 cm dish. Most of the times i use to get "No signal" on the global beam channels.
Now current status :
Total TV channels : 258 (Scrambled + FTA)
Total radio channels : 70
Most of the tv channels are FTA...
