TEST Visiosat Bi-Satellite dish

The Bi-| Satellite may like its name suggests, two satellites simultaneously received. In the two LNBF's satellite dish mounted, one for receipt of the Astra satellite and one for the Hotbird satellite. The dish is made of a very solid plastic. In fact, everything in this dish very well. For example, the mounting bracket, the Mount, heavy black painted steel.

The bolts are not only badly executed, but also well protected against rust. For the LNB arm is a heavy aluminum profile, in which space is required in order to eliminate the cables. Even the packaging is badly executed. A solid cardboard box with boxes where the parts find their own place.  

The dish has many small parts. A good manual is therefore needed. This dish is a manual in French and in English. Fortunately there are many images used to clarify which part is for. All components are of good quality. For confirmation to the mast or wall bracket are wing nuts attached. The sheet is important to follow the instructions to the wrong piece of the dish is not imaginary. If the dish is well fitted the elevation can also easily be read. On the bracket (Mount) are divisions for various degrees visiosat dishes. The Mount is more or less universal and to make many different dishes of visiosat used. The bracket is not with bolts through the dish mounted, but with big screws behind the wheel. In this way, there are no screw heads on the front of the dish which can affect the reflection. By using a plastic dish of a very high quality, the choice for heavy attach very wise.

With multi holder 3 expansion will create an antenna Visiosat preparing a 3 satellites. Now you have Astra1, Astra2, and Hotbird available on the compact Visiosat Bisatellite antenna.

With the manual, has been assembling the Bi-Satellite no difficult task. The LNB arm slides easily into a recess at the bottom of the dish and put down with two bolts. It is only by the careful placement of the various bolts and rings. It is precisely this vulringen have a special function. The rings have a notch. If the bolts and rings are well placed, this notch to the distribution rates for the Bi-Satellite. If the Mount put together, make it to the dish to be confirmed. When the time comes that the dish is suspended, the Mount may be the first to the mast or wall bracket to be confirmed. In the Mount are two slots for the dish in an operation to the Mount can be hung. Only when the dish will be the other screws in the wheel rotated. A very thoughtful way of assembling. The Bi-Satellite is a satellite dish which also by the more experienced do-it-yourself can be placed. The manufacturer has deliberately chosen a fixed distance from the two LNBF's. To adjust the satellite dish is to find the Astra satellite sufficient. If the signal from the Astra is optimal, there is already receiving the Hotbird. The height adjustment of the second LNBF is the only thing that remains to be done for a maximum receipt of the GotBird.

With g-g3d Extension create a Visiosat Bisatellite G2 for 2 satellites drafting a 4 satellites. Now you have Astra1, Astra2, Astra3 and Hotbird available on the compact Visiosat Bisatellite. This set can only be used in combination with LNB's Alps.
3 satellites BISAT G3 A  Astra 28.2 / Astra 19.2/ Hotbird 13
3 satellites BISAT G3 B  Astra 23.5 / Astra 19.2/ Hotbird 13
3 satellites BISAT G3 C  Astra 28.2 / Astra 23.5 / Astra 19.2
4 satellites BISAT G3 D  Astra 28.2 / Astra 23.5 / Astra 19.2 / Hotbird 13°
3 satellites BISAT G4  Atlanticbird 3 / Astra 19.2 / Hotbird 13

If a satellite dish receives two satellites must of course also on both satellites have sufficient signal to reliably be able to watch TV. The Bi-Satellite also see here that we have a good dish to do. There are three important measurements done to an impression of the quality of the satellite dish to get. The total proceeds of the satellite signal and the LNBF is measured. It is also measured as the distance between the signal from the transponder and the background noise, the C / N value. In the third measurement looked at the contents of the digital signal, the Bit Error Rate (BER). In considering BER measuring how many bits are in the wrong signal seat. The signal on the Astra satellite is certainly good to and dBuV ranges from 75.9 to 77.4 dBuV. Of course, all three Dutch transponders measured. The signal noise distance is fine, the transponder of SBS 9.5dB. the other two transponders perform even better, 10.4dB at the RTL transponder and no less than 12.5dB on the transponder for Netherlands 1, 2 and 3. When the BER measurement errors are all neatly corrected, except on the SBS transponder. It can not all be wrong bit recovery, BER 1.0e-4 (a faulty bit per ten thousand). Also for the Hotbird satellite transponder we have three measured. Arab channels with a transponder, a transponder with the RAI channels and a transponder with evangelical broadcasters. On the Hotbird, the signal strengths dBuV ranged from 73.3 to 77.3 dBuV. The C / N measurement shows that the Bi-Satellite also performing well here, ranging from 9dB to 13.9dB. The BER measurement let alone nothing to be desired, all the wrong bits can be neatly restored.

Conclusion
The Bi-Visiosat Satellite is a satellite dish as for the do-it-yourself is very interesting. The self-assembly is easy to do, co-organized by its use. With the addition of the Hotbird satellite, there are literally hundreds of channels. Because of its solid performance, the dish years and years to give pleasure. The reception quality of the two satellites the two satellites is fine.

The valuation for the Bi-Visiosat Satellite is, what mounting concerns clearly +
The mechanical quality deserves by the soundness of the dish + +
And finally, the dish deserves a + + for the reception quality.
