[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 413040, member: 180265"] Can if you want to. I assume you use ProgDVB or similar. Problem is.... Badr 3/4 IS at 26.0E but Eurobird 2 is at 25.5E, Thor IS at 1W but Intelsat 10-02 is at 0.8W etc. I'm sure you get the picture. Now here's the thing, unless you have a dish of 130cm or larger (bigger the dish, tighter the beamwidth) these WILL appear to be in the same orbital position as each other and can be lumped together in one transponder list. However as is the case with the Badr and Eurobird satellites with me, I find that I can distinguish the birds and have to move my dish 30 arcminutres to peak each one separately. Hope this makes some sense. Rgds L.:) [/QUOTE]
