[QUOTE="GotMyBusPass, post: 46906"] Hi Sat Novice I hope that you got your lead and everthing works out AOK. I think that you will find that Channel Hopper and RolfW are the "professionals" on this board. I had 33 years in "sat comms research" from the original "Telstar" at Goonhilly to Betzdorf, ASTRA 1 analogue. I then took early retirement in 1991 and only came back to the "hobby" 12-15 months ago. I just like finding out what is "up there pumping down to here" and finding out the capabilities of my set up. I am only interested in FTA sat and terrestrial so I do not have any cams/cards/programmers. I'm only just up the road from you, Ipswich direction, and with a 85cm Gibertini dish and one of the 2100 motors could get 53east to 58west, but now the trees/bushes have grown folliage am down to 45east to 45west. Nilesat, today being very clear sky, I am picking up a treat and should be stronger as nightfall arrives. Hoping that you have got some results today. GMBP:) PS when you find 1west put a marker down your garden so that you can line up the dish to the satellite again in the future, that is if you "play about" with different dishes/motors "like wot I do":D GMBP:) [/QUOTE]
