Eutelsat 7A at 7E

[logiciel]

has two beams - is one stronger than the other in the UK?

There doesn't appear to be much difference as far as UK is concerned.
Compare at SatBeams - Satellite Coverage Maps - Sat Footprint Eutelsat 7A (E7A, W3A, Eutelsat W3A)

Chris, fro mthat link EuropeA and EuropeC look fine for the UK. EuropeB looks very dodgy though.

 

[logiciel]

Thanks both.
C doesn't seem to be doing anything - KofS doesn't mention it.
A TP on A comes in clearly, and one on B appears but doesn't show the channels.
If anyone has access to 7E I'd be interested to hear what they see.

 

[Chris Muriel]

Whoops ! I probably just compared A and C instead of A and B.
Apologies.

When I had a temporary 60cm dish set up, not perfectly calibrated, on 7E I could get a couple of Europe B transponders in good weather, here in North West England. Can't remember which now, but definitely got BBC Persian for example.

I've got a proper installed 1M dish now, so I can get 7E with no problem, all Digiturk channels are fine etc.

there is a lot of variation in transponder strength on that bird,same for 10e to. Never checked what beam they were on though.

get some nice feeds now and then. You gone moto or bolted another lnb on?

 

[logiciel]

Nudged the 9E LNB.
10721 is strong and 11221 with BBC Persian slightly less so.
Nothing else so that must be right about the varying strengths.
Thanks and any more experiences welcome.

353 services scanned on a td110, it's time to upgrade.

Quite a few tps showing 80-90% so I'm surprised you aren't getting more but I don't know how much the offsetting will affect things.

Dish had dipped a degreee - must be the heat!
Now getting all free channels.

7E is a good sat to have imo,
quiet a bit of FTA footy last season!
