SatSearcher said:I can get a signal from this sat, but just a data signal on 11134H SR 2500 FEC 7/8, nothing else on the European beam apart from a Turkish music channel (allegedly) but can't get that signal. Everything else on this sat is either Iranian TV on a tight middle east beam in KU band, or the African stuff in C band.

It's 8º above the horizon.Topper said:I hardly think line of sight would be a prospect
So do I, at about the same elevation as you, but I had to top the fig tree.Terryl said:I can get 58W on “C” band from my location (West coast US) if I knock down the gopher mounds and mow the weeds.
According to the published info it should be easy, as long as you can see the 6º elevation from where the dish will be located.Oje said:The channel required is Winners TVRO, Satellite: IntelSat 902 @ 62.0East, Frequency: 04047, Symbol Rate: 02222, FEC: 1/2, Polarization: Vertical (V). Is this possible on a 3.2M dish in Manchester, UK? it C-band.

Not really surprized. Lyngsat has it on the west-hemi, not global like KoS. West-hemi requires a 2.1m aerial, according to Satbeams... And that 1/2 FEC is pretty much bulletproof; on the Vu+ Duo you can still resolve it with just 15% SNR.Analoguesat said:I amazed at that - the power levels on the global beam footprint details on the Intelsat site would suggest a much bugger dish - nearer 3 or 4m!
Analoguesat said:Your biggest problem is going to be line of site onto a satellite that has very low elevation in the uk.. You may well find L O S is blocked by houses, flats, trees, fences etc etc.
