The 1,8 m dish is fixed at 28 E. I'm getting all channels there without problem with the exception of 11053 H which is hard to get sometimes in bad weather.
This means I haven't tried the 1,8 at Telstar.
You can always try!
In some cases there are sidelobes and if you are lucky you might get one.
The chance of getting the North Sea (I'm in Sweden so autocorrect preferred "Nordsea" in my previous answer) beam is none I would say.
There are different beams and you should be able to get the Pan America beam without problems. Most channels are encrypted though using Verimatrix and StreamGuard (simulcrypt).
The Nordsea beam containing BBC and others (BISS encrypted) is well out of reach at your place as is the Europe and...
I used to watch MSNBC on this satellite and the that signal varied during the day too.
Don't know why but MSNBC left a long time ago so I haven't investigated it further.
Since I'm getting Freesat from 28 E I have never bothered with 27,5 W and 15 W (except when MSNBC was available at 15 W).
However it would be interesting to know how reception is at various places in Europe as suggested by "7mdish" above.
Then you should be able to see Bloomberg too!
If you make a new channel search on this frequency you will get it.
Bloomberg hasn't been there that long so a new search is necessary to find it.
Lyngsat has now changed the beam used by Vivacom from "Super" to "South East".
I don't know on what grounds this change is made.
Anyway the signal continues to be very strong at my place and is now even stronger than at the beginning of these transmissions.
Exactly and another thing is the fact the receiver can't show more than 99 % even if real value is much higher.
So absolutely best is if the values are shown in dB.
