Hi,
The usual 4 are 13E,16E,19E and 28E.

DigitAlb is on 16E. Supersports package (£150ish/12months)

The bracket needs some modification, to fit an LNB between 13E and 19E though, and they need to be the narrow ones, like the Alps ones.

Maybe a stretch on a 20 degree spread, but 1w is currently a good satellite to have; some footie and some English programming.
