[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 741912, member: 325666"] ...Not looking good for the extreme East.. Having hooked up the ku lnb this morning I spent the day outside single stepping East from Astra @28.2 I have no problems all the way to Turksat at 42 deg East .. From then on the dish goes deaf.. Either the accuracy is compromised ...or as I suspected I have obstacles blocking the line of sight .. I'm trying to push as far as 45E ...but at this point I'm definately pointing at the 'leafless tree' ... Maybe thats the problem ...even in its leafless state. I do know I can climb a ladder with the dish aimed at Tuksat 42E ...and even my body in the way doesn't diminish the signal to the point of blanking a received image from Bloomberg... So I don't think its a 'gain' issue Can anyone tell me the strongest UK transponder on Intelsat12 45 E I supect 42 deg is my Eastern limit ...but I'll persevere with 45E for a while If I know what I'm looking for .. Still ...its been a luverrly day ...out in the sun. ;) rgds VS [/QUOTE]
