Thanks for that I'll have a look do I point at 7w or a nudge past it?

Will appear co-located for middling sized dishes, but at 1.8m or above a tweak further West would be the thing.

Had my dish optimised for 7W Nilesat, tried tweaking it for AB7, but made no difference.

Makes a big difference for mine.

I love 7.2w but I like the catch of all these different channels, I really couldn't care about FOX Movies, FOX Arabia or whatever.

On my 1.2M Laminas through the DrHD F15, Top Movies (10872V) on AB7 gives a SNR of 8dB at 7°W and 8.4dB at 7.2°W. On my fixed 1M Gibertini through the VU+ Solo, the same T/P shows an SNR of 50%. I believe that when I aligned the dish I used an AB7 T/P.

Took me a little while after I got the skew right of 6 degrees I found ab7 done a scan she found 465 on a 1 meter cm quite impressed as it's easy to get than the old days of 7w only being able to get the v tp and h if was lucky.

In the south of the UK you are looking at something around 2.4m.

And a good one - not a flimsy 99 quid Fortec job that has the structural integrity of damp tissue paper....

A 2.5 presition an x cable tv up link satellite that got given to me if you look at my early threds you will see. It took a very very long to get where I am over 6 months of constant tuning adjusting and allot of thinking it's not easy 2.5 I would say is a min I'm lucky I live as far south as I do past London your looking at 3m + if you want 24/7 viewing good luck with planning permission.

Yeah and no doubt it goes away when it rains. :D

Which still suggests 2.4m for all weather reception.
