fhajri1 said:Yes I can get quite few channels on 26 dgre east & some on Nilesat on 1Metre dish. I am in the West Midlands
nelson_b said:hi there --
i,v had channels from badr 6 now and again -- but only in very clear weather conditions -- using a 1.8 channel master offset dish with inverto c120 lnb + feedhorn -- location u.k north west yorkshire
a bigger dish is needed for any kind of regular and stable picture
what channels were you trying for in particular - and what frequency ?
below some screenshots from around new year

antenna1 said:It would be good to receive the orbit network tv transponders can you get them. And thanks for the screenshots.
dvmedia said:Okay, I was looking at exactly the same dish from Maplin.. 90cm Fortec
But it will be profesionally fixed to a wall and installed by an independant sat installer (I'm crap at finding weak sats) - so hopefully MBC suitable!
