Receiving it s well with a 1.2 Dish...actually in the afternoon it was already coming in but sometimes freezing. Now it quite steady. Using Sat 16E but moved Dish slightly off to cover 17E

It's coming in even now with a 1.2Dish. Snr about 4.7. Yesterday I tried with DR. HD F15 Rx but although I was having 4.6db it would not lock at all. Dish was 1.2. but with DB 800se/DB8000 no problem at all.

no chance to get anything here. Get some signals around 30/35% power level but they are not strong enough to get a lock
 
Hi martin, the only frequency I can get is the 12208 H 17664 4/5 DVB-S2 at 6.51 db
 
hi -
only just holding a lock here - using 1.8 c.m. amos 17 e.webp
 
hi - i,m fine thanks -Martin --
i cant answer your question -- 15 mins ago is the first time i,v tried for that transponder --- not had any time to play with satellite things much over the past couple of months --- now that i,v found this t.p. i will leave the dish here for a day or two and see if the strength alters at all --
cheers nelson.b.
 
Glad all is well nelson :), I have been in the same boat due to work and family dish has not moved for months until last week, I have took my 2 1mtr dishes down, and now have new plans :-), many thanks nelson and hope to speak soon;).
 
For me, the best time is morning for some reason but most people say signals are stronger in the evenings. Only just about get it on my 1.5m
 
Hi martin with my 1.5 Dish I can receive that Freq 12208 H, 24/7. It will be stronger in the evening. Also receivable with my 1.2, but only in the evening.

Tested all other KU transponders but it looks like 11884V and 12208H are the limit for a 150cm dish in southern UK.

I've just tried getting this sat for the first time. I'm in West Yorks with a 1.80m prime focus dish. Overcast sky.

I get a decent lock on 12208H at 4.5dB (Satelio Infokanal in the clear) and a marginal lock on 11884V at 4.0dB.
So I think these are just about on the limit for a 180cm dish in the Northern UK.

Nothing on any other Ku band transponders.
