Hello,
I don't have the manual for this type of antenna to install on a motorhome, particularly with the bar graph depending on the regions.
Thank you.

    Neovia flat satellite antenna, but for which satellite: Astra (Tntsat) or Eutelsat 5WA (Fransat) or Hot-Bird?

      it's true, it's for Astra 1 for which I have a decoder, and possibly Hot Bird 3 depending on the decoders.

      A flat Neovia antenna for receiving Hot-Bird 13°E channels is not recommended (due to limited gain, 32.5 dBi, and too much noise, 0.8 dB), especially for its HD channels (DVB-S2 Mpeg 4 8PSK). For Astra 19°E, still in HD, it's okay, at least in France. If you're traveling in C-C throughout Europe, a dish of L60xH65 cm (36.5 dBi with a 0.2 dB noise head) is at least recommended for portable satellite TV.

      Here is a map of France that provides approximate aiming angles, but the fine pointing of the antenna is done by simultaneously observing the percentage indications provided by the "quality" bar graph of the Canal Ready satellite demodulator (Tntsat/ Canalsat) and preferably for mechanical adjustment the transponder (12.551 V) containing BFM TV.

      Then don't forget to tilt the body of the flat antenna +/- to adjust the tilt angle (if dish, rotate the head).

    Thank you for the card, my decoder has a beep that makes it easier for me to aim, I think the degrees correspond to the markings on the bar
    best regards

      There are pointers for adjusting a flat satellite antenna (Selfsat H50D) or a classic dish, such as the SF-500, SF-600, or SF-650, which work very well for receiving mobile TV, outdoor use, boats, vacation homes, motorhomes, etc.
