8w, has anything changed?

[lonedeath]

Hi guys, just yesterday I installed a triax TD110 dish, upgrade from an 80cm dish, was hoping to pull something in from 7w but alas nothing.
Im in Belfast btw.

Well after a lot of tweaking the dish, I am scanning the arc really well, everything from 45w to 45e, but, for some reason I can't get a thing of 8w?

Ive even tried moving the dish by hand, but not a thing, all the other sats are fine, i'm even getting a signal reading of around 30% from some of the channels on viasat, which I couldnt before.

So question is, has anything changed recently with 8w or why do you think this is the only one I cant get, as before it was booming in on my 80cm.

Cheers!

Hi Ramjet, so it's not just me then, that's good, I know there isnt much of interest on 8w but was scratching my head as to why I was getting nothing.

Tried 11296 H 27500 on 7w myself, not a thing, I must be too far west. I hear it comes in better later in the evening, I'll give it a wee go then.

Good point, weather isnt the best here, maybe on a better day!

Most of what was available on 8.0? west jumped ship to the new C Bird and the Transponders that are left have gone the same way as the new 'C' bird and are focussed on the Middle east now with the steerable beam
