Reception reports? What's that all about?

[BGonaSTICK]

OK my satellite-scanning buddies, here's a new section where you can let us know how your setup is working.

Let's face it, you can read the footprint charts, ponder the mathematics and suck on the lat/long readout until you're blue in the face, but there's nothing quite like seeing what appears on your TV when you point your dish at a satellite that in theory you have no chance of viewing :clap:

Here's the place to either brag about the exotica that you're dragging in on a dustbin lid, or drown your sorrows over the black-screen or pixelated mush which should be a football match.

We'll have one thread for each satellite, so feel free to post in each one with your results.

Please give as much detail as you can. You really can't go over the top here (though I might live to regret saying that ). Things we deem essential though are:

Where you are roughly.
Your dish size with make and model too, if known.
A measure of the reception quality or strength (either 'yes - rock solid', or '68% quality' or whatever)

Other things of interest would be:

Any limitations (such as 'only vertical transponders' or 'only in good weather and during the day') etc. etc.
Transponder details, screengrabs etc. - all welcome additional information.

Only bother with Hotbird, Astra etc. if you are well out of footprint, like some of our friends in the Middle East for example.

Please help us build up a good picture here. It'll take some time to assemble, so let's get cracking!
