Forget it - the horizontal polarity channels will require a massive dish - probably over 3m!

There must be something seriously wrong with your setup if you get nothing from Nilesat at all. ( I would have thought). As The verticals are easily achievable not too far down the coast in Brighton, on a dish half that size.

Is it one of those bloody awful Fortec 1.8m dishes that Maplins sell by any chance??

Hope its well sheltered - one of our members had one - it folded up in a winter gale and was taken away in bin bags!
