Ive noticed Chel*ea v Arse*al FTA on Sunday on 21.6E.
LJ's list it on 2M National.
I've been trying to tune 21.6 in without sucess. Can anyone tell me if they recieve 21.6 and what size dish they are using. I've looked at the footprint on Lyngsat and I look well within it. I'm in North West England.
Details of a strong Transponder would also be very useful..........

this bird is greatly inclind in orbit,so unless you have a second actuator(as a number of members do on here)to track north and south then you will only be able to recieve this bird at certain times of the day.

keep trying every hour,you never know it maybe within your line of sight at the time the match is showing,but i wouldnt hold my breath.Ian.

ian, i think you're thinking of the old Eutelsat IIF3 bird that used to be positioned at 21.5E that was heavily inclined, nowadays this position is occupied by Eutelsat W6 which is a stable bird. The problem with the 2M National channel is it's on the African spot beam, need a huge dish to get this in the UK.
Here's the footprints:
