Is your dish now tracking the satellite arc correctly? What satellites have you tried?

Hi sat at the PC looking at Lyngsat, I have scanned astra @ 28.2, astra @ 19.2, thor @ 1west and I think it was hotbird @ 13.0 and ended up with a mountain of god knows what.
It seems when I press to scan it pulls in everything from that location which is impossible to sort through, I get multiple versions of everything, just FTA ! So Ihave binned the lot and am looking for a way to be more selective

You should have a manual scan option where you can just scan one TP at a time.
Some receivers also have channel lists, from other owners, which you can load.
You have a lot of satellites left to try, from memory, 3E, 5E, 7E, 9E, 10E, 16E, 23.5E, 39E, 42E, and then there's west, 4W, 5W, 8W, 12.5W, 15W, 24.5W and 30W.
There are a lot of other satellites but you're best sticking to the ones you want to view, and the ones which are most popular for feeds.
