Hello,
I've recently bought an 80cm dish and have been trying to set it up to receive hotbird channels, however I seem to only be able to receive about 50 channels.
I live in London and have set the elevation at 30 degrees, the polarisation at about 10 degrees, and pointed the satellite to about 166 degrees. After some trial and error, i managed to get some signal, so i optimised it by changing the elevation, polarisation, and direction to ensure i get the maximum signal (90% signal, 80% quality on the transponder i had selected). However most other transponders seem to have 0 signal, hence I don't receive many other channels. In fact, the channels that I want which are on this transponder have not come up on the results.
Any advice on how I can set it up to receive all the hotbird channels? As you can tell, I haven't really used specialist hardware to detect the signal, so not sure if this is the reason and that I would get much more channels if I set it up using this hardware.
Please bear in mind, that as a test, I followed the Astra settings for dish direction, and managed to pick up hundreds of channels on Astra, so its just hotbird that I can't seem to get.
Any advice on how I can set this up, or is it possible that I must have a bigger dish?
Thanks
