Yes, I receive about 140 odd channels on C Band with a 1.8m dish in the UK. Nothing on Ku as the footprint is aimed at South America/Brazil.

With a device that reads and lock the signal for transponders with generic stream,you can locate the 40.5 W position, a signal that is strong enough to be detected by a 1.10 m dish,especially in your area,which is favored.
Below you have the spectrum with active transponders atm.

Manually input transponder 3920 R(V), SR 20000 into your satellite receiver and use that as a marker to check with the receiver signal level indicator.
It was one of the strongest transponders on 40.5 West last time I checked it.

You could also use 3887 L(H), SR 4190 as a marker, It is a T2-M1 transponder but should show up in the signal level indicator bar on a non T2-M1 receiver.
This one was quite strong last time I checked.

You can use dishpointer to get an approximate idea where the satellite is with reference to your locality.

i will be using a dr hd f15 box.

A Dr HD F15 receiver will show T2-M1 frequencies in the signal level indicator bar. I used one of those receivers when I created the table I uploaded to the topic linked to below.
It will not be able to lock the T2-M1 signal but it will allow you to use it as a marker.

Using F15, and this table, you can even get quality levels, though it will mostly stay red (unlocked). But it's a very handy feature.

Any DVB-S/S2 QPSK/8PSK modulated frequencies can be used.

cheers guys.
but im still wondering is it worth me trying 40.5w because im afer espn brasil and foxsports on a 1.8m offset dish in the southeast of ireland.
anyone with a similar size dish in the uk picking these channels up?,and will the stay locked 24/7 weather permitting etc or is it just a certain time of day you can lock them?.

With the 1.8m well-tuned antenna you have a good chance of receiving the two sports packs.
Look at the SES-6 cover map on your area:40dWB

 

[butchyboy]

thanks satesco and im very south here in ireland am well inside the 40dWB

Could someone advise on what signal quality they are getting from 3710 L 8330 and 3980 L 21600 on 40.5w please.

Last time I measured 3980L, SR 21600 I was getting 9.1db but it was a couple of years ago.
However, I think as it is an ESPN broadcast frequency the dB level might be fairly constant.
