Who is receiving 7 West and Badr 4 at 26 E in Dublin and rest of Ireland please?

FREETV

I hope to have my six foot high satellite dish fixed and working for Christmas to watch movies and series in English during the Christmas duration. Tell us you knowledgeable people here on boards what you are receiving, the full transponder frequencies, which transponders to align any of the above satellites to and what size dish, type of LNB and location in Dublin and the rest of Ireland please. Tried an Inclinometer but the dishes elevation bracket was different than the ones shown online. Any other easy suggestions to find the exact elevation angle for a dish with no measurements shown? Please can as many people as possible help us out and respond to this thread. Installers are more than welcome also. Thanks all.

Tell us how you get on.:)

I wonder was the dish arm put on incorrectly by the previous owner as I couldn't get any signal quality only 85% signal intensity.

Very hard to see what we are looking at?

Maybe a daylight pic from a short distance.

Whats the dish?

Whats the LNB?

If do a little twist to the left do you get Astra 2?

Dish has no make, I only have two universal 0.3 LNBs spare at the moment, one is a Ross one. I didn't try for Astra 28.2E I have 19E 28.2 AND 13.0 on other dishes fine.

But do you have any sat on your six foot dish?

No sat reception yet, difficult to find elevation angle. Will try 28E next.

Well, I am afraid that I won't be able to try my dish for a while as a huge gust just blew it backwards off its base even though it was filled with concrete and loads of blocks and concreted to the base. A few dents but otherwise okay. I don't know how I will be able to lift the barrel now, think I will treat myself and just buy a new 1.25 Metre dish along with a new LNB with my Christmas money and try to receive those satellites using a two or two and a half inch mast to hold one in place. The destructive power of nature huh! What a wallop sound it made outside when I was in the kitchen. The gust was very loud a second before that.

I tried yesterday with my new 125cm sat dish to get reception of different Badr 4 transpondersd using leftover RG6 and a Ross 0.3 65db single Lnb never used before which I bought two years ago but could get nothing on 26E only 28.2E, 19.2E and 13.0 and there is only about a degree difference in elevation between 28E and 26E here. I have ordered more Webro WF100 and an Inverto Black Ultra quad lnb which should be here by mid week next week, any suggestions please? Maybe the Ross lnb has too much noise while also being swamped by 28E? The Yemen transponder was tried also, I didn't try for 7.2 West yet.

Ill be amazed if you get badr 4 m8, badr6 yeah, but most in England only get the V transponders for 7w afaik so we could be outside the footprint

Wrong way round. Badr 4 is the one that can be got in Ireland. Badr 5 and 6 no chance.
