My very first post.

I re-tuned Hispasat yesterday on a very rusty 70 cm $KY analogue dish in Buckinghamshire. I get 43 - 85% SQ on most of the TPs you list. I agree with RolfW, skew is particularly important with Hispasat. I have had one or two TPs on a 43 cm $ky mini dish which had very limited skew adjustment facilities, but decided that the dish was better employed on 19E.

I couldn't get a lock on 11615 H ( the HOT one!) after tweaking on the strong TPs so I tweaked on 11615 H until I got 46% SQ and finished up with around 25 deg. clockwise skew from behind; which seems about right. I recall that I could get a much higher SQ on that TP using some outlandish skew but little SQ on anything else.

I hope the weather stays fine!

Most of the major FTA channels on Hispasat are actually available on 19E.

Be adventurous with the skew.
