Manually adding channels by scanning using diseq not usals

[dan44762000]

i have been told i can manaully add and scan a certain frequency by using diseq and not usals .
basically i have been trying to add 26e badr
well when i enter the details for that satelite i dont get no signal but when i go into the "positioner" menu and nudge the dish 4 step east i get a signal and this is where i believe badr is .
now how can i scan that exact position and save it . when i am in postioner menu i can save the position and have done so too (4) but i cannot find a way of then scanning that position.

i appologise if this doesnt make sense but i have tried my best to describe my problem .

thanks daniel

What size dish are you using and which channels are you after?

(There are 3 satellites colocated at 26E using at least 4 different beams.)

the mbc ones .

You'll need a dish of 1.2m or so, possibly bigger.

What dish do you have?

i have been reliably informed over on a different forum that i can expect to get them on my 97cm technomate dish and a few people there have posted they too are getting them .
i don't think my installer set it up for 26e

thanks Daniel

Well good luck to you then ....... the MBC bouquet is weaker than many others on that beam ;)

(And your precise location will be crucial)

The MBC channels are on a different beam to the rest of the Badr 4 stuff.

You might get it on a very good day if your dish has been set up by someone who knows what they are doing but you certainly wont have any rain margin.

Extreme fringe reception also varies over a few miles so what works even in the next town isnt a reliable indication of whats available to you.
