According to the Lyngsat map a 75-95cm dish should be ok here for 12.5W but I'm struggling to pick anything up with 1m dish. Ok on 30w, 1w, 13e, 19e, 28e, 42e etc. Is it possible I may need to "tweak" the dish elevation to locate channels? Also, can anyone suggest a strong transponder on 12.5w I should be able to locate from here?

Many Thanks.
