[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 743659, member: 325666"] Thats a fair coverage of the arc you've got there Aceb... In your case I'd be concentrating on the Eastern most birds ... ..as most of what you can access is Circular polarised you'll need to experiment with dielectric plates.. One of my more interesting sats is at 55W ...as the H/V western most birds tend to carry South American broadcast material for the most part .. This is where I concentrate most of my effort. My dish is to all intents and purposes ..blind beyond 40 East .. But You should get good reception in this area.. You will also get a fair ammount of programming at 5 west and 40 west .. These are good strong sats so good for starting out on you voyage into the world of Cband.. As to programming specifics .. There may not be a lot to watch unless your multi-lingual. I investigate and log these transmissions more as a hobby than for viewing pleasure ... You have a fair chance at 43 west s well neing much further South than me... To give you some idea whats possible .. Check out my other thread on 'adding elevation control' ... It has quite a few good screen caps of various transmissions and feeds.. One day soon I 'will get around to making a complete list with pics where possible ..of what my ressurected alcoa can actually on the arc.. As I said ...If its programming your after ... ..don't use this to try and persuade SWMBO .... ...If its a hobby your after ... Then ...good luck to you.. Its fun ..rewarding ...and occasionally surprising. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
