anyone know what sort of signal i'll get if i move my fixed 80cm dish to atlantic bird 7 west i'm living in south wales, trees are blocking me to the eastern sats.

Atlantic Bird 7W is impossible as it's centred over Middle East

I had no joy last year trying to get that,satellite on a 2.4m dish.

ok thanks for the replies i'll keep tweaking around 08 west to see what i can pick up.

With my 85cm in the Newcastle as is , trees then 28.2e,23.5e,19.2e,16e,13e,10e,9e, 7e,5e,4.8e,4e,2e(inlc),08/1w 5w,8w then the wall. Hope that helps granted some of the frequencies on some sats are weaker than others. If you look on lyngsat maps you can get an idea of the size of dish needed for a particular satellite footprint. You may have to cross reference with k.o.s. to find which beam the frequency is on. Satellites can have a few different beams.

been up on the roof all afternoon and finaly got a good picture on the thor channels, not much open but at least the trees are not blocking me.

I can pick up over 200 channels on Nilesat at 7 West (mostly V transponders and few H) in West London with my 1.2m Channel Master
