Watching the WTA tennis feed from Riyad at 30.5°E, 11183V SR 7500.
The signal is very weak at my 2.4m dish (North part of Italy), just above the lock threshold, around 8.0-8.2 dB.
Not sure if it is normal, but on every other satellites the signal is good, and also at 30.5°E I get other very strong transponders.
Maybe the beam is not pointing my area? Thanks.

Judging by the footprint there shouldn't even be any signal there, you should be happy to be able to capture this feed, only southern Europe can get it.

Well, I'm in Southern Europe (North Itay), not sure what region you mean.
However, after 6pm local time (5pm GMT) the signal was weaker, and I was no more able to lock.

As you can see in picture the beam that transmits this feed does not cover your location, you can capture only at the limit, to get a better signal you need a bigger dish or move to south of Italy.
To conclude, it is normal for you to have low signal.

This is the wrong beam.

The feed is coming from Saudi Arabia, so this is the correct beam (MENA beam)
