In areas where the signal is strong enough,it can receive spot Wide even with Universal LNB linear.We have to admit that it's an advantage to be able to use an lnb linear and not the circular,as is advisable for this satellite.
The signal from the spot Wide is at the limit in my fringe area and yet with 1.5 m dish I've been locked.The strongest signal is on 12073 V,and the weakest is on 11996 V.Being in Qpsk,11804 V is catching even with smaller dish in my area although the signal is the lowest of all transponders from Wide spot.Worth trying!
