[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1087078, member: 176704"] You won't get anything on 30.5E and probably not on 21.6E either, and it will be difficult to get anything on 4W or 7W because they are not very strong in the UK. You might get a few channels on 33E (most are encrypted) but you [I]should [/I]get quite a few on 9E, so check the latter again and check that you are not actually getting channels on 7E or 10E (the latter is more unlikely as most transponders are relatively weak here). OTOH, most of the channels on 30W are easily receivable on a Zone 2 dish (I can), and that would seem to indicate that the dish is not quite correctly tracking the arc, and so the motor may need to be "nudged" [I]VERY[/I] slightly to the West on the mast/pole, and then the motor elevation and dish declination angles will also need slight tweaking. BTW: If you have not already done so, check the channels that [I]are [/I]actually transmitted by each sat by looking at sites like [URL='http://www.lyngsat.com']www.lyngsat.com[/URL], [URL='http://www.flysat.com']www.flysat.com[/URL], [URL='http://www.en.kingofsat.net']www.en.kingofsat.net,[/URL] and so on - OTOH, they are not always totally up-to-date but should be good enough for you to check if you have actually found the relevant sats.
