[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 605231, member: 176362"] CSM - this thread is for reception of 3A in Northern Ireland - please dont wander off from the thread where you have already been gettingadvice on what you need to do at your location as it just leads to duplication of effort. Odd things happen in extreme fringe reception. sg manasged a few channelks on an 80 cm dish - (there was probably some freak reception for a few days) but a few miles doewn the road tomthebomb needs a 90cm for occasional reception. All our advice is guesswork based on experience and the theoretical coverage areas. The only way to find out whats possible at your location it is to get some dishes up on the roof of your building and try it. In the unlikely eveny you get 24/7 reception on an 80cm dish we will be very pleased for you and we will all learn something new :) BTW - professional alignment meteres tell you which satellite you are aligned onto, but the most practical way to do it at hobby level is just to tune a satellite receiver in and look at what channels you have found!
