    East or West?

    Ok the time has come to upgrade my dish.

    I currently have a Wave Frontier T55 pointing at and getting 5w, 1w (including Nordic beams), 5e, 9e, 13e, 19e, 23e and 28e with 8 lnbs plugged into my .. I've just picked up a T90 so time to reconfigure it all. I was going to set 19e (more or less) as my centre and getting 1w, 5e, 10e, 13e, 16e, 19e, 23e, 28e and 39e included in there... not sure whether there's anything between 28 and 39 worth it, or even if I can (though I shall be trying)

    However I notice there's a good number of satellites out west past 5w. Are any of them any good and worth getting rather than going for 39e?

    Cheers

    theres only hispasat@30w worth recieving for watching tv as the other sats from 8w to 45w are either using c-band or are used for mainly feeds/sng and turnarounds. your wavefrontier is stated as having a 40 degree range on the arc but id say from 39e to 5w would be ok as youve suggested as its only 4 degrees more than recommended and 5w is a very strong sat. regards mdt
