There are a few FTA "stream" transponders on 5W and 12.5W but you need a good PC card for that.

With a big enough dish the east beam on Turk 3A should be possible in the UK. 1.8m would be a likely starting point.
if i have got this right ? ive just done a scan and i have space tv 12577.00 H, coming in very strong, if i am on the right track ? i will make a list of any others,

Thats on the Turksat 3A west beam :)

I get that on a 60cm zone 2 Sky dish aimed at 42E, and it is indeed nice and strong.

A cold night tonight on the lawn got me 4 fta from Eutelsat 10E...
Badr 26E isnt possible however much i try although i'm not surprised.
I should add i havent scanned DVB-S2 as this receiver doesnt do HD.

BADR is an oddity as the gettable bits are actually quite strong, but not so strong as 28E: Meaning the crucial issue for modest (60 - 90cm) dishes is the fact that their relatively wide acceptance angle allows 28E to swamp 26E.

When you get to 1m and above, where the narrower beamwidth allows better discrimination, the actual strength and quality of the gettable 26E Transponders is surprisingly high. Nevertheless, it can still be necessary to fire a few tenths shy of 26E to improve 28E rejection without unduly compromising the wanted signal.

I only use 12182 H 16200 to try as the symbol rate is different to 28E. I think in Spring when i realign the main dish on the house having 28E as the furthest eastern lnb ,i will probably lose all chance of 26E anyway. But thats for Spring and it aint Spring yet...its 4 degress.......

Depends if i can squeeze a narrow inverto next to the 28E lnb on the arm. It might be tight.
