I have a 1 mtr atsat dish on a atsat motor , 13-19-28 all great but i cant get anything 7 10 16 etc

so what im thinking is , if i can get hotbird and astra (13 19) at 90% i should get a decent 16 e taking into account im in liverpool uk with a 1 mtr dish ! could my dish be out of alighnment enough to recieve the stronger signals of 13 and 19 but suffer on the known weaker 16 ,
also 33e for fox turk i just cant get a trace of it am I too far away ?

What's your signal strength like on 1W and 5W and 30W ? The 3 satellites you've mentioned, 13E, 19E and 28E, are all very powerful and a 35cm dish is capable of getting a good signal, so a 1M dish wouldn't need to be aligned, to the arc, to receive those satellites.

It is possible that your dish alignment/ arc is wrong but I can't get 16E and 42E is usually unwatchable as well.

I dont get anything except 13 19 28 , I think ill re do the whole dish set up this weekend , i must be missing the arc and just getting the 3 strongest satellites :)

thanks
