Reception of Badr4 (26E)

MBC still working here in Essex on my 88cm mesh dish :DDSCN1612[1].webp

I can receive 11958H, 11996H, 12015V, 12054V, 12207V, 12226H, 12245V, 12523V and 12683V
but not:
11919H, 11938V, 11977V, 12034H, 12073H, 12111H-12182H and 12740H

Anyone know why I cannot receive those when in the past I used to get the most of them (especially I'm sure of receiving MBC quite good) since the most of them have the same parameters as the one I can receive?
Are they still on Badr 4?

OK The view from castle Milamber
First , the cans !
11958 H 15 dB
11996 H 14.9 dB
12015 V 15.6 dB
12054 V 14.6 dB
12207 V 14.5 dB
12226 H 14.0 dB
12245 V 14.0 dB
12523 V 12.4 dB
12683 V 12.0 dB

Now the nots
11919 H 15.0 dB
11938 V 14.1 dB
11977 V 14.8 dB
12034 H 13.5 dB
12073 H 15.5 dB
12111 H 13.5 dB
12182 H 11.8 dB ( sr 16200 )
12740 H 7.9 dB ( sr 2200 )

Other than the last 2 with sr not 27500 , all look about the same as normal , so could be Badr 4 or Badr 7 for all I know!

Maybe a problem of the lnb?

Please send this graph to flysat as they seem to thing this transponder has gone I can still see it re my post #91

At the time of your last post , we were in the middle of the solar outage here on 28.2 , so I assume that would also effect 26 E at my location.
Not sure if it would effect you at your location due to different elevation. If readings are lower than normal this may be part of the reason.
 
Well.... I had to re-align all satellites because I adjusted the actuator to make te dish move further east.
When setting up 26E I suddenly see I can receive 11977V.

I found out that I have to adjust the position of my dish to catch more frequencies!

Still nothing on 11919H, 11938V, 12034H, 12073H

This is weird, I noticed this on co-located satellites, but this should be the same satellite (or isn't it?)

Problem with LNB? I don't think so. F.e. if I tune into 11919H and move the dish to 28.2E I have signal.
So interference from 28.2E and/or 23.5E? If so, then I should also have no signal on f.e. 11958H, 12054V and 12207V either.

My Ku-LNB is not in the focal-point of the prime-focus dish, so maybe that explains it?
I'm thinking of replacing the C-band LNB for a proper primefocus feedhorn and LNB, since the growth of a couple of trees has blocked the little signal I had on some C-band satellites.
Let's see what I will get on 26E then.

You would need to check at one, if not more , of the reputable sites to ensure the signals you seek are on the same bird.

I checked both Lyngsat and Flysat.

Eureka! I now understand the problem, the reflection from the trees is reversing the lnb , thus making it UK , and you are suffering from Brexit!
