Hi, a super write-up, but unfortunately, my neighbours house obsures me from seeing Thor. I needed to put the dish at the bottom of my garden to give me a chance at seeing Hellassat. I used a dish-pointer program from the internet, which uses an image from Google earth. And I should be able to see Hellasat. But. I'm not sure if a house way of in the distance may be blocking out part of the signal? But, at the moment I can't find Hellas, albeit from a weak signal of about 74 on the sat-finder meter. aAs I said in my earlier threads. I'm really new to all this stuff. Could I play around with transponder values (whatever they may be? to give a better signal?). This dish set-up is getting both my wife and me a lttle stressed to be quite honest. If anyone wants to send me a pm, I can let you have my postcode. So you can have a look at my locale tec. I have a 1.0 metre dish on a Manhatten H-H mount, with a technomate 5500 DACI receiver. Many Thanks Dave (Essex - the place not the person) | ||

Do you mean Hellas sat2 at 39East if so which beam are you trying to catch as the S2 beam need about a 3 mtr dish, I suggest you clarify what is is you want to receive and then someone may be able to help you | ||

| With a correctly set up 80cm dish in S England, you should get some 40 channels clear off 39 east. | ||
