    Default 169E Horizons 3e does it reach Australia?

    Has anybody tried to get 169E Horizons 3e in eastern Australia and received it?
    If so what size dish did you use? It is Ku.
    I live south of Brisbane 20 K.

    I think its a NZ transponders and if you get it you might need a 7M dish or so

    Hi Rentakill,

    You guys on the east coast are just slightly off the beam footprint. You are lucky getting this satellite! I am in Perth - I would not even bother without a "huge dimension" solid dish from this distance!

    Couldn't see anything between 166 and 172°E, using a Spectrum Analyser on a Jonsa 1.2m offset.
    Lyngsat report is from 28/10 last year, more than likely the attempt to lure that business from Optus has ended.

    Good man, I always though that Horiizon 3E was a no go from any where on the east coast of Aust.

    Scan from NZ (not mine)

    1 weird carrier on 12528 V strong, should be enough to ping any meter

    on a 90cm offset dish, location Sydney
    12391 H 12499 2/3 DVB-S2 QPSK - 0.4dB MIS: 1
    12505 H 1000 3/4 DVB-S2 32APSK 9.7dB MIS: 1
    12516 H 12499 3/4 DVB-S2 32APSK 12.0dB MIS: 1
    11671 V 22498 3/4 DVB-S2 32APSK 13.3dB MIS: 1
    12526 V 1149 3/4 DVB-S2 32APSK 5.6dB MIS: 1
