1.6 metal set on a pretty accurate azimuth bearing

1.6m and I have a pretty acurate azimuth bearing.

I can easily find Astra 1 but cannot find Astra 2 using Galaxis receiver. No visual obstructions. LNB 9.5 - 10.6. Any suggestions why ? Is Astra 1 analog hence easier to find? I am in Mallorca.

Complete novice here, but would appreciate an answer. With a 1.6m dish in Mallorca and double LNB, can I get BBC FTA channels, discovery, history, nat geo, movies, cnn, w.h.y., not bothered about sky? Also considering using Illusion Sat M3 or M5 (whats the difference, apart from €30)? Helpfull...
