Hi, I would like to try Digitalb on Eutelsat 16E but am unable to pick
it up with a 80cm dish. I live near London and would have thought this
would (just about) be adequate. Has anyone else had any joy picking up
Eutelsat 16E on an 80cm dish. Could it be because my received is not
sensitive enough? Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thx
Eutelsat 16E

What receiver might that be?
When looking for the Space shuttle launch I tried a 80cm taken from
the rubbish tip and gave up on it in favour of a good 1m one but I'm
a lot further south than you. Morocco 1 is strong on analogue which
provides a good signal to optimise the dish on. If you are looking at
the feeds, remember they may not always have something on air.
Otherwise there was not much of interest there, and when I found
that ESA also broadcast on Astra, I gave up on 16E

It comes in fine on an 80x60cm dish in Lynn, Norfolk (~100 miles north
of London, up the A10) in all but the very worst conditions.
Digiquest 8000 decoder and an MTI bluline LNB.

Okay, thanks. It's a French receiver which picks up the two main Astras
fine. As stated below, I think the transponder frequencies for Eutelsat
may need updating. Mike

Thanks, it's really odd. Will give it another go at the weekend. I
thought I had picked it up on Saturday when I got about 10 German
stations (all trying to sell frying pans and mobile phones etc) but
could not get anything else. I wonder whether the transponder
frequencies which are pre-programmed in the receiver are out of date or
incomlete. Cheers

Doesn't sound like the 16E I know and enjoy, which is a mix of Italian,
Romanian, Bulgarian, Georgian and other things I can't understand.

Doesn't the receiver offer a way to tell something about the channel
you are receiving? Like name broadcast or name receivier think the
channel has, the frequency being received or the symbol rate?
If you had the channel name you could look up which satellites carry
that specific channel at http://www.kingofsat.net/ by entering the
name in the channel search. Maybe you can get the channel name looking
at the tele-text if available.
If you can't find it yourself, try to describe logos or names of the
channels that you actually do get. The more data you supply the better
chance someone can tell you where you are pointing.
