Evening all, I have a few questions regarding the satellite arc and help finding the satellites etc.
I have a motorised TM2600 setup with a TD88 dish.
I have written down a list of what I can a can not receive and just would like a little bit of advice on how / if I can pick up any of the missing satellites with my dish from the list below.
I have checked the pole and it is plum all the way around, So I was just wondering why I was missing the satellites.
Do I need to go back to Thor and try and get a higher Quality on it and go from there? By changing the angle of the dish?
It is strange that after the freesat Satellite on Astra 28.2 E I cannot get anything yet I pick some channels up on the west etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am enjoying this little challenge and this is my first motorised setup. So happy that I am picking up something at the moment.
The list is as follows :-
58 W Intelsat 9/KU – Receiving nothing.
45 W Intelsat 1R/C – Receiving nothing
43 W Intelsat 6B/3 - Receiving nothing

If you have got to the bottom of the list thank you for being patient I thought if I put up all the information I could think of then it would help somebody who has more knowledge than me to suggest a possible solution.
Thanks for any advice given.
