My Satellite Setup
57E to 58W, C-band and Ku, DVB-S2, 4:2:2 and blindscan.
My Location
38.5ºN, 0.5ºW
These satellites used to be grouped quite tight, but now they are spreading out. What's going on? When I am watching BBC1 and I switch to Channel Five I have to move the dish. Same switching from BBC1 to EuroNews, except in the opposite direction. I thought I was going crazy, so I downloaded the latest TLE's from NORAD, ran them through Nova and they confirm this. For my location I get: 2A = AZ 139.7, EL 37.0; 2B = AZ 139.7, EL 36.9; 2D = AZ 138.5, EL 36.4; Eurobird 1 = AZ 138.1, EL 36.2;

Things are so bad that I can't get Eurobird 1 and Astra 2A/B at the same time from a 90cm dish, let alone a big dish.
