[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1153303, member: 389824"] Currently installing some LNBs on a newly perched Wavefrontier T90 (centred on 16E, will be for another thread/post down the line), decided to try an old-school Inverto Black-Ultra single around 26E on the rail and the Mauritanian transponder mentioned in the Telecom Band was coming in quite well with by far the strongest quality signal (72% on a Freesat V8 Finder), the next strongest being the Qatar transponder on Badr 4 with 55-57% and others on the BSS band like Dubai One on 12130 V barely getting above the threshold to watch an error free picture (around 37-38%), with nothing else received on the Telecom band otherwise. Granted the Mauritanian mux doesn't appear to suffer from nearby interference from both Astra slots on 28E & 23.5E (though Flysat suggests a narrow data carrier on the same frequency on 28E), but if this is to be expected from the rest of the Badr 4 signals to be transferred over then it looks quite promising as to reception where I am. However, I did notice in that peaking the 12563 V signal from Badr 8 seemed to suggest that it is parked slightly west of Badr 4 satellite, maybe about 0.5 degree west of it. Anyone notice anything similar? [/QUOTE]
