dont know the jargon you are using, have a zinwell wjich worked until a bout a year ago

Do your research.
The jargon is straightforward enough to understand.

If you got a nearby 5G mast in the line of aim of your dish your Zinwell is gonna suffer from 5G interference unless you use anti 5G filtering.
I already told you the solutions, up to you to sort it out now or suffer signal loss.

Hi Guys
Seems that our fun with ESPN on 40.5W is over. My reception of this TP ended a few weeks ago for me, understand its now on the Americas beam of the sat at 45W which I have no hope of getting. Lyngsat listing 3 Fox Sports channels on very similar TP parameters I note. (Had no luck with these as yet)

I tried for C-Band reception of 45.0 West some time ago with a 2.0m dish at a UK location and got nowhere with it.
It might be possible to get some fringe reception from a more westerly location such as the Dingle Penninsula or similar location on the west coast of Ireland with a 2.4m or 3.0m dish but that is just a wild guess, I have no evidence to support that.

Hi @moonbase,
Did you really mean 45.0W or mis-typed and should've written 40.5W?

@kippysat

I meant 45.0 West. I got nowhere with a 2.0m dish on it in C-Band.

The 40.5 West satellite is an easy catch in the UK, the kids round 'ere locking it wiv dustbin lids.
If a man cant lock 40.5 West he should give up the game in shame.

Im assuming Csport.tv has also gone on 55.5W 4126 would have made a nice replacement for the ESPN channels
