no worries, I did not see you quoted his post.
Tried app but could not understand how this work and also asking for Pro version so have installed it.
Trees are about 10-15 meter i think.

Just stand underneath your dish and use the ar view option, it’ll give you a picture of the arc. From there you’ll see whereabouts hotbird and Astra 1 are.
If the trees are 10m away, then you clear any obstacles with a height of roughly 5m in addition to the height of the dish’s location.

What size is your dish?

For benefit of others who may be looking to upgrade their dish, here is my comparison with 80CM TM mesh dish vs 97CM TM mesh dish.

Out of interest what are of the UK are you in and what receiver did you use for the comparison.

Manchester and Duo2 .
Further from your PM, I used William-1 guide and compared with my 80cm before swapping to the new 97cm . So there should be three columns in total . I think William 1 is based in London and used 1 meter solid for his snr %. I hope that make sense
Ah right
You need to check your maths on ABS-3A @ 3°west
Good comparison not many do such an in depth one. Me i do 42e 0.8w and 30w lol .

Thanks. Love numbers and analysis. Unfortunately that is what I do for living!! Maths can't be wrong I a sure . The snr went from 35 to 61 which is improvement of circa 75%

Fez is after the absolute percentage change (table below), rather than the geometric gain.

For 10e and 16e, was it that you never bothered scanning them or that the 80cm couldn’t pick them up?
Thats the one 👍

80cm could not pick those. 16e was probably due to the trees but not sure about 10e.
10e seems to be only sat I did not get many channels scanned with new dish . I was scanning 54 channels with 80cm and now only 56 with 97cm.
Have not tried any feeds yet but looks like it wouldn't pick those for me.
Can some one please confirm number of channels they are getting on either 80cm or 97cm dish on this satellite?
With or without trees 16east can be a difficult transponder to pick up decent s.n.r The further you are from the centre off the footprint Most
Installers go above 80cm satellite dish to allow
For rain margin With 1.1 traix satellite dish multisat bracket I struggled to get good s.n.r
on 16 east larger satellite dish narrow beam
Will set up new installation at home with disqec switches Then take s.n.r readings and post

There aren't many channels on 10e, if you look on Flysat, apart from the BFBS channels on 11222 V 30000 there are just 18 other channels (I get signals on 16 of these),
If you're blind scanning 10e you will pick up channels from 9e as well.
16e - currently scanning in 53 TPs & 665 channels with a 1m dish.
