Yes, I agree. I've only been able to get the verticals for a while now, but tonight I've just done a scan and a few horizontal frequencies are booming through on my little 80cm dish.

Getting a good signal on:
12149 H
12226 H
12303 H

All told, I have 167 channels on 7W. It will be sad when the sat gets replaced. :(
