I can see a pattern forming with a north/south divide. Looks like 1m is borderline even up north.

It would be nice to have a few more reports from central Europe.
 
Slovakia ,Zilina, 115cm PF dish,Invacom twin,no problem...;)

Just for the record, the Nordic beam of SES 5 is almost non-existent here (the frequencies are barely visible on the spectrum, none of them is strong enough to lock), in contrast with the frequencies of Astra 4A's Nordic beam (most of them are receivable here).

Greece, Chania (Crete), 1.25m Gibertini, Inverto Black Ultra single, Technotrend S2-1600 DVB card.

Even non-existent reports are welcome!
 
Sadly I cant give a viable report even tho Im well inside the northern split and should get summat.

My 5E lnb is a offset on a 1m aimed at 9/10E and I cant even get any of the Astra 4A Nordics! Even the 4A FSS beams are extremely marginal

:(
 
Yes I know.....

When I get some decent weather I'll spin that dish round & have a look :D

Signal levels are down from 75/74% to 67/68%

I'm not very good an interpreting these scans. So you're getting a lock on everything but 11,345V?

Yes, but need at least 7.7dB for lock with existing dish/LNB. Can't try the Gibby 1.2m at present, actuator stuck.

OK thanks, I was just a bit surprised since no one else seems to manage it with a small dish in the south. I guess the easterly location is helping and perhaps your equipment is more sensitive?

Didn't do any fine tuning of the dish, just swapped a KA LNB for the Black Ultra. I would think the Gibby could lock the 11.345V.
 
All K here obviously. I could give specifics if needed
