You can check the maps on kingofsat:

and lyngsat:

http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/eb16_madagascar.html

but different providers broadcast using different beams, and they're not always completely accurate, so it's worth checking with someone local
Are you after anything specific?

Thanks for the maps
Actually I`m using the 1m Dual Offset Dish Antenna it has two dishes: a larger receiving dish and a smaller dish facing the opposite direction which collects the signals from the larger dish .
Want to watch ITV Partner from EUTELSAT ,buuuuut
signal is about 80%
dB 0 to 2 for different transponders.

I thing to change it with 1.20m parabolic antenna.

thnx

Are you sure you have the dish aligned properly?


The Gregorian type dishes with subreflector normally perform like a bigger dish, in most cases. I'm not convinced that a 1.2m will help you enough.
