Naive question I wish to watch channels available on Astra 28 and eventually realised that if I point the dish at the sun at 1008 GMT that gives me the required angle. I cannot at the moment alter the elevation which was correct for Hotbird so now should be incorrect for Astra. I also have an overgrown tree in the line of sight.
My question is;- How can I confirm I am receiving Astra 28? My learned neightbour doubts what I see, not recognising the programmes I am receiving.
As an engineer, I assumed that each satellite would transmit its identity (maybe within the engineering data packets). I accept that satellites share frequencies relying on separation for distinguishing. But I am sure that very much more data is up and down-loaded for condition and position monitoring for instance.
My learned neighbour tells me that is not the case.
Which one of us is right?
