26.0 east

[afterburn]

I have a t90 centered on 13 east. I am trying to get 26.0east but am having no luck. Anyone? I had no problem getting 16 east and 19.2 east but I've hit the brick wall now.

26E is very difficult to get on anything less than a 1m dish. From looking at the image you posted you seem to be in Cavan or thereabouts - struggling to read the coordinates I'm in Wicklow, so further East and South of your location and I have been using a 1.1m motorised offset dish up to recently. 26E reception was always marginal for me even with a direct centring on the sat. With an 80cm dish I get no reception of 26E. The fact that you're using a T90 centred on 13E and depending on indirect reception would be a challenge. Have you received this sat before at your location? What size dish? Maybe others from Ireland could chip in.

Sorry tony for not getting back . Yes I'm in west cavan. I Know as much about dish installation as I do about astrophysics. However I Have been fairly patient and precise so far and I'm fairly sure I'm bang on the mark for 13E. I was kinda hoping to get 26.0 east but if it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen. What's my chances of 0.8 west would you think?. I've ground mounted it as I didn't want to hang it on rthe wall as I'm fairly open.Image0675.jpg

Here's my line of sight from behind the dish!

Those trees are over 100m away.

Im in Kent in England and with my 1.1m Dish I can only just get 26E best frequency for me is 12130v and then I only get 62%

Not looking like I'll get it unless I have a large designated dish pointing straight at it. Would it be worth the cost or effort do you think?

1m gibertini here and get it with approx 62%

Where are you living walt? here's a question , my miraclebox with the vix image doesn't seem to scan certain transpoders such as 11012.00 V 33000 3/5. and what about those eutelsat freequencies , they seem to be different entirely.

I can only get horizontal tps. I believe, although I'm not sure, that the vertical tps are on a spot beam so we can't receive them here.
