Will I be able to capture this satellite with a 1.2m dish? I am in SE mass.
Regards

the satellite? probably
specific channel? unknown since you didnt list one 
Each transponder is different so some may come in and some won't. Everything posted on thelist was captured with a 6 footer.

Iceberg, I thought the C-Band section of the List was captured with a 1.2m as it says on the table title?. I was wondering who got so many channels with such small dish?, lol.
If that is the case then I guess the 3744H TP (DVB-S2 8PSK BTW) the OP asked about is not doable with a 6' Dish?. I was about to move mine from 58W to 55.5W just now. Guess it stays put then.
To the OP: I have not tried 55.5W with a 1.2m but since adjacent Sats 53W and 58W are pretty crowded I think you will get a lot of interference then and they have lots of 8PSK and high FEC signals anyways. As a last resort, try pointing more towards 53W that has only 3 active Tp's on C-Band. 6 feet your minimum option.

| the FEC is 2/3 so it might be possible. I havent tried it Quote: |
