I'm loosing the will to live, having spent many hours trying to align my dish with Intelsat 907. I can find Hispasat at 30degs West no problems, but no sign of Intelsat 907. (1.2m dish, Southern Spain, Technomate 5402HD M3, Phontom-patch applied OK, BISS keys entered OK).
So, can anyone re-assure me that Intelsat 907 is still transmiitting the "Freesat" backup, or am I trying to locate signals that no longer exist?

Thanks!

LNB for Intelsat 907

Thanks to both for responding.
Re the LNB, why would the symbol rate be relevant - I thought that the LNB simply downconverted a block of frequencies in order to reduce losses in the cable to the receiver, but I could be wrong of course?

Right, it's the receiver that should be capable of tuning into such a high SR, not the LNB.

There are some LNBs that won't see the satellite and have you got the LNB correctly skewed.i.e 28 degrees.

It will boom in 1.2 dish southern spain and the 5402 is perfect for 27w.
If you get a signal sorted set the feed channel to On when scanning that tp.
Use dish pointer.com for dish alignment and lnb skew for you location.
Approx
Dish Setup Data Elevation: 41°

LNB Skew 28°
