90% here on 1 meter not exactly same position as both amos? 4 to 5 x fine steps to west improves quality? compared to 10722 H 27500 on 4°W

sorry dont know about bandwidth beams etc...but can we watch any of them on 4w? with 90cm dish..thanks

[Giga]

if your on the east of this 44 dBW border a 0.90 m dish would do, the more to the west your located to more difficult it is, bigger dish, no reception at all?

[Hadziano]

ill test the above frequency.im near leeds..

On a 1.2m dish, I am getting a strong signal in Central Scotland on the Poker Channel.

hmmmmmmmm

must be something to to with beamwidth and amount of signal obtained from different dishes as i find them exactly colocated on my 1.2m dish,with no concievable improvement or loss by adjusting it a few clicks further west.Ian.
