[QUOTE="westernapproach, post: 58980, member: 182693"] I have just gone motorised with the LIDL Comag FTA box and and SG2100A motor. I'm using my old 80 cm dish. Astra 1 & 2 and Hotbird are being picked up loud and clear. I cannot get anything at 42 east or 1 west. Before I go back up the ladder to check all the settings, I was wondering if anyone had practical experience of trying to receive anything apart from the above three with a dish this size at a latitude similar to mine - 55,55N 3,10W (Edinburgh). Could I also ask, how low in the sky are the eastern satellites. Is it straightforward to calculate the elevation of say the 42 east satellite at a given latitude. I was thinking at one point that this sat might be obscured by a block of flates a few hundred metres away. Many thanks [/QUOTE]
