30 West Hispasat 1C & 1D

Can some point me in the direction of the footprint for these 2 birds.

At the moment I only have a 60cm dish up and running and I cant get all the European transponders unless its a very very clear night

Just found the answer to my own question

[madrat]

and if you are lucky enough to be able to see 61 west

I've never seen anything off of the feed at 12509V, but the data channel at 12562V is very strong here.

I can get some of the stronger tp's on a zone 1 minidish, but the lnb housing really needs trimming back so the lnb can move far enough anti clockwise

[madrat]

Some of the TP's with channels on I just cant get unless its a very very clear night. I think its the dish, its just to small. Once I get my 110cm motorised system up and running I should be ok.

[Analoguesat]

110 is way overkill for 30W in the UK! I can get all the tp's on an 80 as easy as anything!

Make sure you optimise the skew on the lnb - it needs to be a good bit round.

Easily recievable in UK with a 45 cm sky dish.

But as Analoguesat says, the key here is to twist the skew to about 4 oclock rather than usual 7 0clock (19/13) assumming non motorised.

It took me ages to get it until i realised this. Best to use non sky LNB.
Good luck

I do use a none SKy LNB and its twisted to about 2 o clock when looking from behind the dish, this was the position I got the strongest signals in but there are still some TP's I cant get unless its a very clear night.

I too get a very similar problem on 30w , I can get every tp apart from tp81 11535 V , all the rest are 100% strength with quality greater than 75% ( this does fluctuate ) , I have tried changing the skew and re-aligning the dish but to no avail , could it be a cable problem ?
