It's a nice strong signal in Melbourne Fred , so there is always a chance.

As Austech said the signal is pretty strong in Melbourne, its all about size (keep your minds clean please) For me the lowest Sat I can see is Asiasat 2 at 100deg East and my dish is smack in the middle of a tree but I'm using a 4.3M size dish with plenty to spare. Try working out your Azimuth and elevation for NSS6 and use a long broom to see where its heading if its only minor a 90cm will be ok but if its through the guts see if you can borrow a 1.2 or a 1.8M offset or prime focus dish.<br />If you are in luck you will lock on with a 1.2 BUT REMEMBER IF IT RAINS its worse.<br />Phil

Hi All,<br /><br />watching NSS 6 here in Sydney with a 90cm and about 70% signal strength..<br /><br />Boy it looks WEST, and low, the KU Band Offset dish is tilted past 90' and actually looking down..<br /><br />No real problems with rain fade, however I can'tremember when we had a good rain here in Sydney ??<br /><br />Anyway no more cheap "adult" for the time being anyway..<br /><br />However a lot of the TARBS stuff is sent over on this bird free to air..<br /><br />cheers Frank.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" />
