What sort of transponders are receivable from 26e and 7w in the uk on a small dish say 1.2cm in Bristol area these days an ideas?
 
Up here in West Yorkshire with a 1m dish, on 26e I get most of the BADR4 frequencies between 11938-12245 & 12500-12750, and on 7w I get pretty much all the Eutelsat 7 West A frequencies that are DVB-S (most of the DVB-S2 frequencies are just out of reach!). Nothing from either Nilesat 201 or 301 though.
 
or rather,the 8w ,much stronger it seems?
 
here in south france,a lot from 7w and 8 w,
next to nothing from 26E
Last year & before,we dhad all the post-12000 from 26....not any more.
7W much better reception than before & 8w keeps having more TPs.
8W Looks like a copy of 26E...same channnels,,stronger signal

Well,all my fault!!
Yesterday I just created a "fictitious" sat on my Comag HD receiver & did a random scan,and ,bingo,200+ channels came to greet me!
Among them,on 10970 V 27500 & 11010 V 27500 60+ channels from Nigeria,complete with public (NTA) tv,and a huge bunch of local language ones...Hausa,Yoruba,etc etc... very interesting!
Reception just on edge,due to my 75cm's modesty in size. 1m should do it.

And the "Arab" ones come loud and clear.Another beam,so it seems,MENA or Middle-East,as on 7w.
Wondering,still,what blocked my original list.

My guess is that only the Badr-4 frequencies will be available from 26.E to the Bristol area.

For 7W, if you mean the Nilesat 201 and Nilesat 301 at 7.0W then nothing will be available.
Alternatively, if you mean Eutelsat 7WA at 7.3W there will be some frequencies available.

Quickest way to find out for your precise location is to aim a dish and scan the satellites.
