Dear All
May you please help if will be possible to get this satellite signal reception in London.
Below are the full details:
Satellite: 68.5E INTELSAT 20 (IS-20) KU Band
TP: 12682 H / SR 27500
TV Channel: Canal CVV International
Address: N18 1TP London ( I am excepting to use or install 1 to 1.5 meter fixed Dish top onthe roof)
Here is the result from Dish Point (Satellite finder - Dish Alignment calculator) via Google where they are a good clear line of sight to the east.
Your Location
Latitude: 51.6130°
Longitude: -0.0698°
Sat Name: 68.5E INTELSAT 20 (IS-20) | INTELSAT 7 (IS-7) Ku Band
Distance: 41187km
Elevation: 4.4°
Azimuth (true): 107.1°
Azimuth (magn.): 108.4°
LNB Skew [?]: -36.4°
Turn counter-clockwise standing behind the dish.
Please need recommendation in the terms of Dish size and best kind of KU band LNB (Including a suitable Ground stand as the dish will be on the roof)
Some people said this:
Dear Customer,
London does fall within the footprint of that beam so it should be possible to downlink that service.

SAT FORUM REACTION
- This satellite is very low on the horizon chances of reception in a built up area are slim no guidelines re dish size or Lnb as I cannot get it & no satellite chart for Europe is available at moment.
- I used to have a 80 x 90 cm offset dish picking up the KU/Europe channels from this satellite a couple of years ago but it was not really big enough and lost signal in poor weather. A 1.2 meter Dish would have been ok I m sure.
The biggest problem is having a clear line of sight to the satellite --- as william1 said the elevation is very low -- but a bit better in London than it was for me here in North West UK if you can setup your dish on a point as high as the surrounding buildings you may be o.k.
- Can confirm with my set up can receive this satellite with very strong signals on all the transponders on the Europe beam and even getting an ok signal on the one TP on the Russia beam. Triax 1.1m Dish. 68.5e - 45w. Sharp 0.3 Lnb.TM- 2600 Motor

Many thank you in advance for your cooperation and I am looking forward to hearing from you ASAP.
Kind Regards
