MMDS Set-up Complete Beginner

I can't understand how the rotation of these aerials could cause attenuation. Fair enough if it was the usual Yagi aerial with elements protruding in opposite directions from a stem. But these ones have circular washers. Surely that means that they operate the same what ever way they are orientated, once they are pointing at the transmitter.
Just to clarify, I don't really know what i'm talking about, as i haven't studied Physics since my Leaving Cert!

 

Just got home, tried that out... Could not have worked any better!! Perfect reception, found every channel. I'm like a pig in sh*t right now! Thanks so much for your help Fano!

 

Hi,
The beginning of this thread stated:

I'm in a similar boat. I have a DBox in North Dublin so all I need now is an answer to question 3) - what to do with the Box.
Can anyone tell me how I set it up? I'm scanning but not picking up any channels. I'm running Sportster 1.7, which works perfectly in Dublin 8.
I'd really appreciate any advice... I've been asking for help with this on different threads for a few weeks and I've even sent a PM or two but no one seems to be able to help.
Thanks,
Chuck

 

Use the irish cables.xml and do a scan for n*l mmds.

 

Thanks Mgb,
Probably won't get a chance to try it for another week or so but at least I've something to try now.
All the best,
Chuck

Hi. I installed the Gemini image (version 4.1) on my Dreambox 600PVR and am getting all the channels etc. However the EPG is only showing up now and next?. Is there any way of downloading the full EPG through Gemini? I could see the full schedule when I initially used Progdvb with a freecom dvb-t usb stick?
Thanks.

Hi all,

Trying to get up to speed on mmds antennas.
I've got a eurovox tx working on a C***S installed antenna thanks to this site.
Now I'm gonna try on a self installed antenna.
Can anyone answer me a few questions:
Could a standard 2.4Ghz wifi antenna do if the signal is strong enough ?
Could a standard 2.5Ghz antenna do if the signal is strong enough ?
I guess Yagi/Parabola mesh are best for weak signals ?
Does the eurovox tx supply the downconverter voltage ?
I seem to remember seeing this option in the menu.
Can anyone recommend an antenna inc downconverter for use with MMDS?

TIA,
HJD
