I was wondering apart from 28e which 8 satellites are the best to pick up which gives the best choice. I dont really mind what language i was just thinking which ones are best to pick up and maybe some people would see as a must.
I have an 8 way Diseqc switch and currently i receive 0.8w, 7e, 9e, 10e, 13e, 19.2e, 23.5e, 5w. I am picking 9e and 10e from same lnb so i have a spare plug on the switch as im only using 7 out of the 8. I really cannot decide on which other satellite to pick up.
I dont think 39e, 42e and 30w are worth trying to pick up to be honest. maybe 4.8e or 16e would be best unless someone has better advice or maybe of the satellites im picking up maybe i am picking a wrong one. its so hard to know.
I love watching music channels on the satellites and occasional sport mostly from feeds.
 
You could try 45°E which carries a couple of music channels and Prima which sometimes shows English soundtrack programming (mainly US shows). It's a very strong signal. 16°E is interesting but you may know it's transponders are really variable in strength. I have this on my TD88 multisat, on a Black Ultra and can only get West TV reliably.
 
A lot of feeds seem to come from 12.5W, but these can use 4:2:2, Check the old posts to see what type of feeds have been found.

What dish are you using for your multi LNB setup mate?
 
I currently have 5 lnbs on my fortec star 90cm dish and they are pointing at 7e, 13e, 19.2e, 0.8w and 5w with 7e being in centre. I have then got a minidish pointing at 23.5e and a 1.2mtr dish picking up 9e and 10e
