    Atlantic Bird 7 taking over from Nilesat. Footprint still way off this part of the world but people in South Wales and Northwest England are reporting reception which wasn't possible before so I gave it a go.

    Got 38 channels on 11315, 11392, 12169 and 12245. Best is 11315 but only 27%giving broken audio and occasional picture. Someone on the East coast here with a bigger dish might do better. I have 1.1m dish, Black Ultra LNB and AzBox.

    Thats great, the wife is very happy, I wonder how long it will last?

    Did a blind search and got around 670 channels:)

    Good find, many thanks.:)

    At various times in calm weather I managed to scan in a total of 107 channels and very occasionally could get a watchable picture. Nothing there now though.

    The satellite which was replaced at 7 West, Atlantic Bird 4 has been re-named Eutelsat W3C and is now at 3.1 East. It seems to have taken over the channels which were on Eurobird 4 at 4 East. I can get just one channel Misrata TV 12661 V 2200 41%.

    Greenman you might be able to add this one to your list.
