Where are you in the UK, would help if you put slightly more information in your profile.

OK, so you're about 1 to 2 West, Nilesat should be at about the same elevation, the LNB skew will of course be different.

PS. Is this one of those Fortecstar dishes?

Ditto! Get 5E but nothing until 30W! Really wish I could get showtime on 7W! I'll have to get my chainsaw out but there are still trees in the neighbours garden!

I didn't know that, unfortunately I can't receive nilesat. Hopefully it will be back.
