Hi guys,

I have an 80cm motorised setup - today I decided to give 7E a scan in the hope of finding some Euro feeds. The blind scan picked up several transponders on 9E along with the usual 7E channels and some feeds. I was able to see TF1 HD, M6 Suisse HD, W9, M6, 6 TER HD with 51% SNR despite being on the wrong satellite completely!

Is this normal? A quick check of 13e and 19.2 and they are coming in as usual.

Not impossible on an 80cm dish I'd say especially if the dish wasn't spot on 7 east. There should be no worries about frequencies clashing though, 7 east uses FSS frequencies (10.7-11.7 & 12.5-12.75GHz) while 9 east is a BSS frequency position (11.7-12.5GHz).
