Sirius 4 setup - help !!

[agreen8]

Hi,

I am new here so apologise if there are more threads on this. I have treid searching.

I am trying to setup Sirius 4. I live in Peterborough and have an 80cm dish. I simply cannot get a signal at 4.8/5 degrees east.

I can get hotbird (13 east) so I know the LNB is working.

Is there a problem with sirius satellie installations. I even got a "pro" round and he could not get the satellite either on his expensive meter. He did say he has had problems with this before.

According to all the maps I have seen, an 80CM dish should be OK. The dish is about 3 meters off the floor and does have to clear a house. But according to dishpointer.com I sould be clearing the house easily. Indeed Sky has to do the same thing and is at a lower elevation.

Any hints / tips on locking onto this satellite.

Thanks in advance
Tony Green

Try looking for the Ukrainian channels on 11766H 27500 3/4. They are probably the easiest to find. Or the new Swedish mux on Thor 2 11247V 23145 3/4. This one is easily as powerful as Astra 2 28E!

A good strong transponder here is, 12380H, 27500, channel named LTV World. S&Q at the end stop.
But of course I do not use a sky+ set up
