    What satellites are in range (UK - NE) ?

    Hi, im in the process of setting up a motorized system after a few years of inactivity. The dish and motor are spot on but i cannot recall what satellites should be within range. My duo is only scanning as far west as 30 west (Hispasat) and around about 52 east (Yahsat 1A). When I have looked to see what is actualy in orbit, the range is 75.0°E to 61.0°W. Please can you quickly let me know what ranges I should expect.

    1M dish - Middlesbrough (NE UK)

    Many thanks

    I would think that the range you already have is much to much, no point loading a load of satellites onto the Vu+ that you can't view
    due to encryption or language limitations . Save yourself a lot of headaches and only have the satellites that are view able to you.
    The Vu+ will also reward you .

    Horizon to horizon in the Uk is about 70 degress either way. Question is though, what channels do you want to receive.

    about 42e to 30w is a descent arc. I can go to about 53e and 45w but do not really bother. There is some russian stuff on 53e I think but not really worth it.

    Ireland - east coast. House wall faces exactly south so no restriction on dish movement. I used to receive from 53E to 58W on a 1.1m dish. My extreme horizons were limited by neighbouring houses and trees.
    GB Quad Plus, Mut@nt HD51, AX HD61, 80cm dish and Supreme Dark motor. Sony STR-DN 1060, Sony UHP-H1 Bluray, Odroid N2+ (CoreElec), Monitor Audio Bronze 5.1 speakers
