Hi guys, need your help...
Has somebody tried to hit Atlantic Bird 1 with positive results from Toronto area? Is so, what is dish size that you are using?
Thanks for any tips.

Hey Jan
Let me say this, you Latitude=43.6N, Longitude=79.6W, Atlantic Bird 1 @ 12.5w, you must elevate your Dish to point 7.7 degree in order to see the satellite. I don't think so.

There is only Six (6) TPs listest for North & South America, Five (5) of them are feeds.

Thanks Kavin,
You are right, but what if I rotate the antenna upside down so LNB is on the top? I am using 1.2m offset dish.
I am after transponder D6 which carries TV channels.
Regards,

You are talking about Open Sky at TP 6 Freq.11595
out of France. Try TelStar 12 @ 15.oW.

Let me know, how you make out. I would like to play too.
