Analog satellite

Hi,

is there any circuit for an analog TV satellite on the internet?
i made a search but without any success,
but i can remember that i saw a circuit in an electronics book, it was easy to build as i remember but i lost the book so i have not it now.

i have an LMB and want to have a principle in the field.

P,s yes i know that Analog satellite are so cheap.

As you know, they are very cheap to buy - but do you have the required equipment to build and align equipment at those frequencies? - I doubt it VERY much. So that comes done to buying a prebuild tuner/IF stage (which will probably cost more than a complete receiver, particularly as you could get a receiver for free!), then you need to find how to control it, the bus commands you need to send it - finding a datasheet is HIGHLY unlikely.

The rest of the receiver is pretty straight forward, if a little complicated?.

If you say a simple design in a book, I suspect it was just using prebuilt modules?, or was it just a 'sat finder' and not a receiver?.
