Good evening, I will publish the analog channels that I managed to catch, they were all despite the weather not being the best because it rained well and with wind I think I catch it with better conditions.

Good morning John I'm using an echostar ad3000 receiver and my dish is 2.40 m and the lnb is a titanium cw1-pll bought from us, I have two identical ones mounted on my dish one for linear frequencies and the other for circular and I also have the lnb invert ku band, the three mounted. I'm still picking up 52 digital channels on this satellite.

Not with me - they are there but just too low to get a lock on my 2.2 PF.
I'll take a Promax meter screen grab later of the whole band showing the digital tp's and also the analogue channels all in the same shot to show the difference.

WOW!!! SBT channels are the strongest I see, coming sparkle free. Is the color distortion a result of PAL-M?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

My dish would need to be moved forward (and upward) to get anything beyond 64W.

It's currently bloody cold outside as well.

"Would" like to have a try at some point ..... Can`t see beyond 58 W currently with the large dishes ... The ancient 3 m Prodelin could - in theory - be moved to a position where it could maybe see 70 W without obstruction ... there is rising ground in that direction though - so 70 W could be too low in the sky for me here.
But i,m short of spare time to try that at the moment ... and the winter weather is against it .... :-(
