Hello newbie here.I have recently dug out my dusty tm1500i and uploaded phantom patch312 and latest softcam in the hope of watching some footy on 39e.The dish i aligned to 39e is a sly zone 2 raven mk4 type,i managed to pick up about 82% strength and 69% quality but when i run the scan i only pick up 4 transponders (11.012 v) (11.102 v) (12.524 v) and (12.689 h).I'm not sure if i maybe need a bigger dish to receive more channels as i'm only getting maybe 30 channels and cant seem to get the diemma/nova channels for the footy games,would be gratefull for any help
Thanks:confused:

The best size is around 80cm, with a 0.1-0.2 db LNB and DO NOT FORGET : the LNB must be turn approx 25° from vertical clockwise! (frontview) this is not possible on some sky dishes, they have less degrees or built in skewness, and I guess this is the reason you can not get some tp-s

Address: glasgow
Latitude: 55.8656°
Longitude: -4.2572°

Satellite: 39E HELLAS-SAT 2
Elevation: 15.7°
Azimuth (true): 131.3° ( this is the 39° East )
Azimuth (magn.): 135.4°
LNB skew 24,5° see above
I think most of the guys forgot to slue the LNB, and than have a weak signal, and missing tp-s here is a good site dishpointer dot com I hope it helps
