Hi,

I am currently living in London, UK. I've tried getting Intelsat 10 with a 1 meter motorised dish and i succeeded. I put the satellite dish at 68.5 degrees. Im picking up all the DD channels which i think are asian.

Hi thanks for the reply. Can you please confirm if you receive a channel called HUM TV. I am getting information mostly that we do not get signal in UK for Intelsat 10 but by map it is possible but not sure.

Its not so much a poroblem about no signal - its the fact that 68E is almost on the horizon in the uk - the altitude above the horizon is about 5 degrees in much of the UK. This means that if you have any obstructions whatsoever out to the southeast you are going to be blocked. So any houses, nearby tower blocks, tall trees, high fences etc means failure.

London is slightly more favorable as its further southeast than Brum so the satellite is marginally higher above the horizon. Unlike the Sky UK situation where the satellites are nice and high in the Sky and easy to get.
