26e ... a gem for movies etc.. but you are on the limit of getting it with a 90 there- you'll need everything spot on especially 11919h the best tp with mbc2/ persia on it

That should be it ... but it may have an old transponder list ... try 12182H 16200 (input it manually if you have to) it's perhaps the strongest .. once you get it and get in the middle so you have the strongest signal ..... power scan the satellite ...... also look for 11919h 27500 if it's not there input that manually and try to scan it ..it's usually the hardest but best.

Usually Arabsat 26e (now known as BADR3/4/6) needs very fine tuning at the dish with a TV screen and meters on it or high grade meter (not beeper/ needle type) and fine adjustments while on 11919h MBC2 of SKEW and alignment (in good weather too).
:cool:

I'm guessing in Telford on a 90cm, 26e will be tight with those dishes :D
