Just can't find astra 28.2 signal

    By that I mean the english speaking channels. I got them once , while balancing on a ladder over a year ago, but since then, with 2 different dishes, receivers and lnbs I can't seem to get anything but the foreign channel satellite signal at 19.2 .
    After reading up, it's possible the ones I used get easily are out of service now and the newer ones are at a slightly different angle. I don't know .guess I just need a good tuner or tuner app. If anyone can suggest a good one that would be great thank you.
    I find the foreign channels good for an alternative view of things, especially the pandemic news.

    Put your address into this site and select 28.2E Astra (2E 2F 2G) as the satellite. It will show the direction to try. Also if there are any obstructions, trees, other buildings etc, it will show minimum height clearance. A dish MUST have a clear line of sight to the satellite.

    If u put 19.2 into dishpointer 1st, then 28.2 you will see the difference on map where you are pointing that might help.
