Can I receive nss 57E AND arabsat 26E?

You will struggle with 57E. You may get a weak signal from one or two frequencies, but 57E is fairly poor in the UK.

You may get some frequencies off 26E but only from Badr 4, you can forget Badr 5 & 6 without something MUCH bigger

What in particular are you hoping to get??
 
I HOPE TO FIND BADR 4. EXEM CHANNEL MBC 11919H, AND TUNISIAN CHANNEL 12073H
WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND THIS?
 
First of all please dont type ALL IN CAPITALS - its the forum equivalent of shouting and is unpleasant to read as well.

Yes you should have a decent chance of getting MBC & the Tunisinas on Badr 4. I had them on an offset lnb on a 1m dish aimed at 21.5E up here in south Scotland for a while.

26E always suffers interference from 28E here in the UK so the easiest frequency to find is 12182H 16200 3/4 as the 16200 symbol rate is not used on 28E.
 
80cm dish is very marginal on Badr-4 - especially oop north. I only just about had it on my Penta 85cm dish and I am more south than you are... Alignment must be very precise with a good LNB.
 
Hi pakaro, I live in Sheffield and can get this on a 1mtr dish, as CJ says you might struggle with an 80cm dish, I am not sure if pontiend has an 80cm, I am sure he will report if he has:).
 
I cannot get them on an 80cm in North Yorkshire.

But my 1.1m copes very well.
 
80cm just isnt big enough for BADR4 or NSS12... official footprints say 90cm and 1.2m for poor weather margin for BADR4badr4bss2.webp . ive fitted a couple of ISS 1m dishes up here with smart tit lnb,s and they were ok even in poor weather. orbital 1m or triax td110 with decent lnb otherwise your struggling im afraid. you also have swamp over issues using a 80cm due to its beamwidth and the astra2 birds booming in next door

My small dish is a TD88.I have not looked at Badr 4 for some time.Will have a look later.Watching grand designs just now.:)
 
I did fine with Badr 4 on the rough equivalent of a 90/95cm up here. No bleed over from 28E at all.
 
With my TD 88 I only get 12739H 2200 just now,and I am not sure where that is from.I think that it is a bit out after the last winds On my 100 cm dish I get.
11919 H 27500. 73%
12182 H 16200 o%
12073 H 27500 68%
TM5402HD 100 cm Dish

Edit.Out of interest here are a couple of pics of 12739H 2200.From my TD88.
They do not scan with my 100 cm Dish.

Tell a lie, a couple of nudges west on my 100 cm it comes in at 76% .
12739H 2200 that is.:).It looks like the Azimuth is out on that dish.:)
I seem to be spending most of my life sat on the shed roof farting about adjusting the dish.
I expect a comment about that from a bit farther ooop north than me.:)
