Just put a 1mtr motorised dish up, i live in the east mids area (notts) , i set the dish to thor 1west and the signal is around 90% which i thought was good , i then went 42East which i get 91% signal, then goin 30west i get 90% signal.. sats in between vary signal wise but are viewable,so i thought the dish must be aligned good, trouble is astra 28.2 East i only get a 85% signal on all of the transponders which i thought was a little low concidering this was supposed to be the strongest sat out there..
have i made an illignment error or does Astra 28.2 use low power ?

reciever using is DB500s & Skystar

split satellite Eurobird 28.5°E from Astra 28.2°E that could improve between the 2. Check line of sight, if there is not a problem?

Those 0.3 degrees are no problem its pointing the dish 100% have here in the Netherlands almost all transponders 98%
