Well that'll be why I can't find the Es'hail 2 beacon That's Hellas Sat 3. I turned the dish the wrong way.... Es'hail 2 is south of Astra 2. Buuuhhh

I'm pretty sure that's not checked the Network ID.

Hi there Astra!

Badr is colocated (ish) with Es'hail 2, so I'll take that for a test run.

Grrr that's not Badr, it's Astra 2G. That constellation is loud enough that it's nearly impossible to align the dish without a spectrum analyser.

@philpem 2G pretty much has a pigeon melting beam pointed at the UK so that Sky can sell smaller dishes

@tryst I'd say the same applies to the whole 2 constellation. It's the loudest thing in the sky, and absolutely deafens my Maxview satfinder.
