0.8°W, T1 + Nordic Beam, Reception in Ireland,
Hi Folks,
I'm looking for reception reports on the above in Ireland, Dish sizes, LNB,s, I'm in the North West.
Any other input is also welcome
I'm guessing that the nordic beam is out of the question with my Penta 85 but, T1 is marginal (judging by the lyngsat footprint maps). I was hoping I might get something from T1 with some tweaking or a better LNB.

The Fracarro LNB is not locked into position on the LNB holder (there were no pins or mouldings on the LNB to lock it in place), so there is some room for horizontal movement in the directions shown in the attached image. I'm not sure if this has any effect on signal reception.
Setup:
Fracarro Penta 85 Dish,
LNB: Fracarro Single Universal LNB 0.5
Noise Figure 0.5dB
Gain 55dB
Tuner, DM-600S
