Re: Help with Dish size
O.k after doing some more tests and reading I have found the same packages on a different satellite
http://en.kingofsat.net/pos-1W.php Which is intelsat 10-02 1w. I have a darkbox atm and don't have 1w on it but do have thor 0.8 and that picks them up but as thor is low in the west I am only receiving approx 68%. Has anyone ever used the sky link service or know how I would find out what satellite his package is for?? |

Re: Help with Dish size
If you are in the UK, Thor is high in the south. Its the highest orbital slot on the arc.
