[QUOTE="Capn Trips, post: 133410, member: 195574"] Thank you. The one I know for sure is Hotbird, since that is what the dish is currently receiving. I understand the issue better now. I simply presumed the challenge was merely "seeing" the satellites, but the real issue is the signal strength of the sat transmission [b]to my location[/b]. I kind'a thought that all satellites were created equal.:-DOH! (Silly wabbit!) An aside question: Where can one determine stuff like transmission footprints and signal strength? Lyngsat is wonderful for identifying where the satellites are and what's on them, but I can't seem to determine that level of detail from any of the links available there. Is there a single site with that sort of information? ...or links to it? Or is it just something the experts pick up with experience? I've seen that a few of the satellite owners actually have websites that may or may not provide useful information of that sort. Is there a "one-stop-shopping" location that provides this? Thanks, SLS [/QUOTE]
