[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 5851, member: 174998"] The east beam of Turksat (42e) is not receivable at all in the UK, and the West beam is very stronmg across all of it (even including up to the NE Scotland). Your 1.2m dish should be more than adequate. Arabsat2A at 26e carries three beams: 1 ku-band you won't get anywhere in the UK, and 2 c-band beams which at your location are too weak for the size of dish. Arabsat2B is also at 26e and has one c-band beam which almost certainly will be bbeyond your reach (a 2m dish at your location would probably do it). Arabsat3A at 26e has a single ku-band beam and that may be the one you're receiving weakly. The signal strength drops off rapidly from Northern England upwards. Probably you'd need a bigger dish rather than a better LNB. I'm not sure why you describe Eutelsatw3 at 7e and Telstar12 at 45w as "weaker satellites". Their signals are MUCH stronger at your location than the ones at 42e & 26e... Check out footprint info at Lyngsat. 2old [/QUOTE]
