What have you tried so far to improve the situation?

Is your dish even pointed at 19.2E?

My signal strength is 83 % and signal quality is 73 %
My dish should be on the right direction.
I am just confused that I cannot get any german channels, even when I am manually adding german transponders. I was wondering if any of You can get any german channels in Ireland ?

What transponder is giving you these signal readings?

Do you already use this dish for watching tv?

Yes I am using this dish for watching about 300 free channels, but non of them is german even when I am searching astra 1 19.2 E.
On astra 1 19.2 E i have 100 transponders and 90 % of them has signal 83% 73 % the rest has 43%/4%.
Could be this low signal quality of some transponders be a reason I cannot ger any german channels ?

Are you currently watching UK channels such as BBC, ITV etc?

These are carried on satellites at 28.2/28.5 east. Some transponder frequencies are shared with Astra 1 afaik, so these will be giving the high signal readings.

It may be possible to add a 2nd lnb to your dish for 19E, example here.
