So since the end of December (weather permitting) i've been logging how many FTA channels i can receive on my 60cm protable dish set up around 4 foot of the ground on a portable tripod. Its not exhaustive but gives you an idea of what to expect on a certain satellite and whether you might decide you set up on that satellite in the future. Some are probably not worth the effort for how many FTA you get. I havent searched for the weakest signal and spent peaking the signal , so the list would be higher i'm sure,just set up on a moderate transponder and peaked that. So below we have each satellite group with the amount of FTA channels i can get on a Technomate 3000D (SD only) using a SATLINK 6906 on an icecrypt twin lnb on a commtel 60cm,here in the midlands on good sunny days......(and i know some are missing,i'll add them later)
