I have tried in vain to get this satellite and I wonder if anyone can enlighten me if its possible to receive this in the midlands using a 1M dish and DM500HD any help would be appreciated

i doubt you could get it, just look at the footprint for the beams

maybe if you get a dish like the one below, and hang it about 30 meters in the air, you might just catch a transponder or two

As an afterthought I thought I would show you the new base of the dish and it being cast in steel...
