7w Atlantic Bird 4A

In the south east UK, there is an outside chance of receiving a couple of H transponders on as low as a 1m dish in the evening currently. These are 12226 H and 12303 H; they lock enough to get picture, sound and channel name but do break a lot.

I am in the Canaries, with an 85 cm dish , motor drive and televes box. Just last week I lost the fatafeet, MBC Persia and some other channels, is this related, and where do i have to point the dish to find them again?
Tahnx guys

BTW, I had the dish pointed at Nilesat for the above mentioned....at 7 w, has AB4 moved to 3.75 as mentioned at Lyngsat news page?

There has been a satellite swap and the new satellite coverage is far less favourable for western Europe.

There have also been some frequency changes, so check the frequencies you are scanning:

If the frequencies are correct then chances are you need a bigger dish.

Antenna1, Sorry to hear about the loss of ESPN channels. I too have lost them in West Africa. Unfortunately it does not look like there is much hope for regaining them at this point. I am just not willing to go to a bigger dish and I am not sure it would help based on the footprint.
