Dr.Dish:
You tried to receive on transponder 22A the digital radio package for the
Netherlands. No chance no get them with you analogue equipment. For the
Radionet 250-system you will need a quite expensive digital receiver. The
only signal you get is some noise of the 9 different channels.
Analogue SCPC in the european ku-band is very rare.For FDM you could try the
INTELSAT 605, but I am afraid your dish is too small. Even with a 180cm
dish, you have to use full threshold extension (in FDM) in order to hear
anything.
