My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased...

My System: Sky+HD Astra+Hotbird FTA on 60 cm dish

Satellite bleeper is very useful tool as is an old portable TV so you can watch the signal test screen whilst moving the dish. Takes a while to get the hang of it but i can find most satellites without the meter now.
Move the dish very slowly and be patient and you will be ok.

My System: Dbox + Skystar2, 2.2m Kinhuge Dish with Inverto LNB and Invacom ADF-120 feedhorn. Pace 1.3.25 and 80cm for Sky.

You should be able to get these sats with a 90cm dish (as long as there's no buildings/hills/trees in the way:
62 E Intelsat 902
60 E Intelsat 904
57 E NSS703
45 E Intelsat 12
42 E Turksat
40 E Express AM1
39 E Hellas
36 E Eutelsat Sesat W4
33 E Intelsat 802, Eurobird 3
28.5 E Eurobird 1
28.2 E Astra 2A, 2B, 2D
23.5 E Astra 1D, 3A
21.5 E Eutelsat W6
19.2 E Astra 1C, 1E..H, 2C, 1KR
16 E Eutelsat W2
13 E Hotbird 1, 2, 3, 6, 7A
10 E Eutelsat W1
7 E Eutelsat W3A
5 E Sirius 2, 3
1 W Intelsat 10.02
5 W Atlantic Bird 3
8 W Telecom 2D
12.5 W Atlantic Bird 1
15 W Telstar 12
18 W Intelsat 901
22 W NSS7
27.5 W Intalsat 907
30 W Hispasat 1B, 1C, 1D
34.5 W Intelsat 903
43 W Panamsat
45 W Intelsat 1R
53 W Intelsat 707
58 W Intelsat 9
Start with the 'biggies' (5W, 28.2E,30W) then fill in the gaps.
