Astra 3A in N.Ireland w/ 80cm

Hello,

I posed this on another board, and thought Id post it here too since I know the German beam on 3A can be akward to receive in parts of the UK.

Anyway, I was rescaning though some satellites a few days ago and noticed I was getting some extra channels on 23.5e and it turns out they are from 3A.

The transponders are - 12685 V 27500 3/4, 12725 V 27500 3/4, 12525 V 27500 3/4.

I was getting picture breakup on CT 24, same for the Eins channels (Eins festival/Eins plus etc..)

I'm using a 80cm dish, with a Inverto twin 0.3db lnb and I am located in the centre of Northern Ireland (MidUlster area).

Here is some screengrabs, and two videos I took on my digital camera last night for the cynics .

Im just north of Belfast and can somtimes bring them in on my 90cm. Its very weather dependant though, any rain at all and its nothing for me. Different times of the day too seem better than others.
