Whilst looking for a suitable location to place satellite dish (house surrounded by trees), I was scanning using a small dish today and found a spot where I could pickup a beam from 28.2E. I noticed however that I was only picking up the channels on Astra 1N (Channel 5 etc. and ITV) Is this transmitting much stronger than the other satellites in the group? Or is there another reason why I could pick that one out and not Astra 2A,2B,2D& Eurobird1?. (Note my receiver had been pre-tuned to the older Astra 28.2E channels but I re-ran a frequency search after picking up what seemed like a strongish signal).

Astra 1N is stronger so it sounds like you need to re-align your dish a bit.
