a few years back, premiership feeds were on either 53 or 58w - i did a blind scan of 53w on Saturday to find nothing, but didnt have time to repeat on 58w
regardless of this, what Sat is the furthest west we SHOULD be able to get a signal from here in UK (london)

58W used to provide a strong signal here in Cambridge ( the BT Tower TP). Nothing much there now.

i used to scan from 58w to 68e but further west would be possible but there were no sats further west than 58w that had beams for western europe don't bother much these days although i do occasionaly look for feeds on c band with 1.8m precision dish

61°W is good if you have a 9° horizon, I've not seen anything on it for a long time but there is still a data transponder running on 12562V 27000. I've just checked it and it is showing 73% signal on my SS2 and 1m Gibby. Furthest west I've seen anything recently is 45°W, Canal Info News should be a strong signal but the SS2 doesn't like the very low SR so it's very pixelated and broken.
