Multi sat system... What sats?

[Huevos]

I going to set up a multi sat system (medium term project) for fast zapping and feed hunting. Also I'm getting fed up with the motorised system because I have to have my channel list in an order that relates to the arc. At the moment my satellite short list is as follows:

1. 42E
2. 39E
3. 28.5E
4. 28.2E
5. 26E
6. 23.5E
7. 19.2E
8. 16E
9. 13E
10. 9/10E
11. 7E
12. 4.8E
13. 0.8W
14. 4/5W
15. 7/8W
16. 12.5W
17. 15W
18. 22W
19. 24.5w
20. 27.5W
21. 30W

My question is is there anything good I am leaving out? And is there anything in my list not worth the bother (mainly looking for FTA in English).

The only one that caught my eye on your list was 7E. I've just checked it and definitely no English language programs, in fact not much at all on there that isn't duplicated on another sat. Some African programming including a soccer match, whose broadcast quality was appalling. If you are looking for one to ditch it would be my first choice.

That'd probably be ORT Mali or RTS1 Senegal!

Can be useful for some Matches that aren't easily available elsewher, but the Video and Audio are truly awful: It is as if they are retransmitting something captured by CCTV parked in front of the play-out of a better quality unspecified source.

The quality was terrible but the football was even worse. Rather better than Newcastle played last season though

Speedway feeds amongst others come up on there a fair bit.

Ah okay, if it interests you, keep it LOL. You haven't listed 36E, there are a couple of Euronews variants on there in English and some of the Eastern european programming is worth a look. I think one of the channels broadcasts a game show where ultimately you win a car but as far as I can figure it you have to keep one hand on it all the time!!!

Might be on AZTV

I found a channel with films in English the other day. Prima TV on 45E.

Thing with Lyngsat and suchlike is it doesn't tell you what channels are worth watching.
