Wow thats a bit random left and down a bit, do you know the name of the network or sattelite to connect to?

It is not random. Since you have found 19E, it is just a matter or carefully moving it round and down until you find 28E.
(You may hit 23.5E on the way -more porn and German LOL).

It is VERY accurate, the dish can be aligned this way within a fraction of a degree.

If you want exact dish settings then got to Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com

but it doesn't work like that, you have to adjust the dish for best signal.

As I said, it is Astra/Eurobird1 at 28.2/28.5E.

Left a bit(9 degrees) and down a bit ( 3 or 4 degrees), is accurate enough, as you will do it by tweaking the dish until you get a good quality signal on one of the transponders on 28E, like 10773H for example.

Stick a portable TV in the garden if you need to.
