1,8 Channel Master, Black Pro LNB with CM feedhorn for 28 E which is my main interest when watching TV. VU+ DUO 4K SE, VU+ DUO 2, Octagon SF8008 and Vantage 8000 S and TS receivers. Fixed dishes at: 42 E (0,75 m), 28,2/28,5 E (1,8 m), 19,2 E (1,5 m), 13 E (1,1 m), 9 E (0,7 m), 5 E (1,2 m) and 1 W (0,7 m).

From all recently mentioned frequencies I have only 2 receivable namely 12168V and 12129V . Do not forget that during the day signal levels can change a lot, especially if we speak about fringe reception areas. The daily changes of signal level can be up to 2dB.
Can't you get 12382 H? Of 12129 V, 12168 V, 12363 V and 12382 H 12382 is the strongest at my place.

My antenna is pointed at 28,5*, which is Astra 2E, therefore signals from Astra 2F are not so strong (12382H is on Astra 2F).

Thanks for all the replies - keep an eye on STV HD.

12129V and 12168V are 100% 2E UK, currently 7.2db and 7.0db (both flysat and lyngsat are wrong)
12382H is 2F UK 7.0db
12363V no lock (likely 2F UK)

Try satbeams.com, you can zoom into your location in the foot print.

And unless your using a lab calibrated receiver, antenna, LNB and a known loss on the coax, then all readings will be different from a web site like the ones you mentioned.
