Last night I pointed my portable 65cm dish at 0.8W for the first time and managed around 65% signal strength and 75% quality. I managed to pick up all the Digi Sport SD channels but none of the HD ones.
I can tune in:
Digi Sport Romania 1 - 4 SD
Digi Sport Hungary 1 - 3 SD
All of which are DVB-S channels on Thor 5 Europe, Thor 6 K2 Europe and Intelsat 10-02 Spot 3 beams.
It didn't pick up:
Digi Sport Romania 1 - 2 HD
Digi Sport Hungary 1 - 2 HD
Digi Sport Slovakia 1 - 5 HD
All of which are DVB-S2 channels on Thor 6 K2 Europe.
I was able to pick up other DVB-S2 channels on 0.8W but not from Thor 6 K2 Europe. Lyngsat maps suggests a dish size of 60-75cm for my location (a little South-East of Glasgow) for Thor 6 K2 Europe beam.
Is it just that my dish is probably a bit too small to pick up these channels or is there something I'm missing when scanning?
