Feeds on 23.5E...

    I was thinking of adding another LNB to my setup to look at 23.5E (currently looking at 13/19/28), but looking at listings on FlySat, there is nothing of value FTA. So, wondering what to expect from the feeds from this position, there seem to be a number. Is there always something on somewhere, are they encrypted, what kind of feeds would you generally expect to see from here?

    I'll not be able to try it out until the weekend, but would appreciate any feedback as to what I might expect to see.

    Edit: seems the feeds are out of reach in Ireland. Any other sats worth pointing at to have a look at some feeds?

    I would go for putting an lnb on for 16east if possible, a lot more feeds appear on that satellite than 23.5east from what I have seen.

    though it's not usually 100% successfull trying to squeeze in 16E on same dish between 13E and 19E

    If you add a 2nd dish, then you have more flexibility
    5E, 15W etc

    Nothing much of interest on 23.5 and in SW the signal isn't great.

    Thanks for the replies. I suppose the only way to successfully feed-hunt is to use a motor. I do have one, but my the back of the house runs N-S, and the furthest West I can go is about 4E (Sirius is the last one I can get), so it's not ideal for setting up accurately in the first place.

    I was thinking about getting another dish. I have access to an old Sky dish, I think it's about 60cm (installed on West coast). Would I be able to get my regular 13/19/28 array to work on this like it does on the 80cm I currently use?

    Especially for 16E
