hi there!
just wondering what direction would i have to face my 90cm motorised dish in order to get Eutlesat at 16 deg E as well as astra and hotbird,please dont say east!DOH!

It is smack bang in the middle of Astra 19.2E and Hotbird 13E, you need to make sure that when you are trying to find it, you are looking for a transponder that you can easily see, you may have trouble with the the DigitalB signals with your dish size.

DigiAlb signals are slightly lower power than many of the other services on 16E. Give it a go and see how you get on, but align the dish using one of the strong transponders (one of the tp's carrying a Bulgarian service is a good one to align on to begin with.

went to the link and saw a bulgarian service but where is the transponder number ?

The transponder frequency is in the second column.
