I'm struggling to find 26 east on my 80cm solid dish. I'm after AlJazeera Sport but i'm finding a lot of the tp's are overlapping with other sats like astra 1/2.

I've got a 0.3db lnb btw.

Please help!

Yes you will struggle, it is on the BSS beam and requires a 1.2 mtr dish according to the footprint given HERE

pulling in that channel on my tms 1500ci with 55% signal no picture breakup , triax 90cm dish in west yorkshire

i've found you have to edit the satellite postion to something like 25.3east to avoid signal swamping from 28east

Wod,

Are you using a motorised system to receive 26e? Because the amending position to 25.3 on a fixed system should not really have any effect --- or am I missing something?
