Getting a Wavefrontier T90 with 5 LNB's for England.

What are the top 5 positions or birds in the U.K so I can align the 5
LNB's to these?

I'm thinking Astra 2 at 28.2E, Astra 1 at 19.2E and Eutelsat Hotbird at
13.0E.... but am stumped for the next two.....

Any comments?

Regards

Stephen.

Eutelsat at 16deg ? Badr 4 at 26deg would be OK for a fixed/aimed dish
but possibly a bit optimistic for a dish with an offset LNB ?

I think they work in Europe

The UK is at the edge of the footprint for Badr 4; a 90cm dish with
the LNB at the design focus point can be defeated by a bit of rain
before trying it with a dish using a bracketed LNB which is
off-centre. However, that could be academic as an LNB for 26deg might
be too close to the 28.2deg LNB for both to fit anyway.

Have you tried a search by language at "KingOfSat"?
